Let me tell you some details of bridge....

1)
For IMS bridge the distributed application who wants to trigger mainframe online transaction they would need to specify the name of transaction inside the message each time.

Well so every application now needs to remember the transaction name with code change and it was not the case with some java adapters. so company avoids bridge.

2) when IMS transaction is down but bridge & ims are up, even though there is no error in the format of message, the message would be put to dlq. This would have MQRC_UNKNOWN_X00000XXX error code which is again unable to trap by IBM dlq routine.
Do you manullay code for this? Thats not prefferable.

Any better solution?

Manager is struck with java architects to favour IBM product. huh but I guess little chance...

The MQBrigde uses IMS's OTMA to put Tx on IMS Queues, this tx is not triggered in any case. This one emulates a typical 3270 or LU tx.

When the TX is stopped the IMS responses with an DFS065 XX:XX:XX TRAN/LTERM STOPPED to the ReplyQ, and the original Messages is put on DLQ, with the OTMA NAK (in this case x'146' (326 Dec - Tran/Lterm)stoped)) this one is not an MQ error (as 2051,2053,...)
