Hi Folks,

can you please explain me with an example on how to convert an xml message to IMS format?

Say my XML message is

<root>
<person>
<name>
<fname> xxx </fname>
<lname> yyy </lname>
</name>
<ssn> 1234567890 </ssn>
<address>
<street> Broad </street>
<city> cauvery </city>
<state> NJ </state>
</address>
</person>
</root>

what i know is we have to use the MQIMS bridge and OTMA connector to connect to the mainframe system?

If you can give me the message flow and tell me what happens at each processing node that would be really great?

sorry if i trouble you in explaining.

thank you very much.

Well the first thing you will need to find out is the EXACT layout that IMS is expecting. From the example data, I'm guessing it would be all character (as you have no numeric fields present). But what order are the fields expected in. How long is each one. Are they fixed length, or delimited. All this is determined by the IMS transaction that will be receiving the data.

You will then need to build an MRM to model this.

In a Compute node, you will then map the relevant fields from the XML to the MRM. Also, you will have to build the IMS header.

Then send your message to an Output node that writes it to the queue being monitored by the IMS bridge.

Cheers,
