Hi,
I am trying to send a request msg from a Windows C++ client to an IMS transaction via a AIX qmgr and IMS bridge as shown below :
C++ client on Windows <---> MQ5.3 on AIX <---> MQ5.3 on mainframe <---> IMS bridge <---> IMS.
And the Response comes back thru the same path.
Can someone please tell me under what situations ( other than a successful case) does the IMS bridge ( I assume that's the one actually doing a GET and a PUT to/from the mainframe request/response queues) send a response back to the response queue ??
I mean, under what situations can I find a response message on the Reply queue on AIX ?
Does it send a response back
(1) when the IMS region goes down ?
(2) when the IMS transaction goes down ?
(3) when there is a RACF/security error on the mainframe w.r.t the id/pwd passed on in the MQMD ?
(4) Any other scenarios ?
After I do a GET from the Reply2Q on AIX I need to check and see if it is an error msg or a valid response.
Please advise.
Thank you.
ydsk.

When the IMS transaction went down I got a response message in the Reply2Q on AIX that looks like '.....DFS065 ......'.
Can somebody please tell me what all such DFSxxx codes are possible ?
Thank you.

The material seems to be relevant but it's not very clear what other DFS error codes are possible.
Someone knowledgeable/experienced please help.
Thanks.

It has been a while since I worked on the mainframe and IMS, so I do not remember the DFS codes off the top of my head. As far as the reply message goes, you will receive a reply if the IMS transaction you are invoking is written to give a response.
Also, you did not include the text of the DFS065 message, but it may indicate that the transaction that you are attempting to run is down or unavailable.

I thought there was a subtopic under the link that was posted that listed all the possible DF code numbers from the OTMA bridge. It didn't post the text of those messages, though.

I am trying to know if the format of every DFS message would be the same.
I saw that when the IMS txn was stopped the response message I got in the Reply2Q on AIX was like 'xxxxxDFS999 ......... '
It starts with 5 characters followed by DFS and a 3 digit number.
Can somebody please tell me if every failure response will have the same structure ?
As soon as I do a GET from the reply2Q on AIX, I will scan it and see if the characters strting from the fifth ( assuming a successful response ) are the transaction code. If the chars aren't exactly the same as the txn code I would assume that it is some kind of a DFS error message. Of course, I know the txn code I am sending in the request message soI can compare the characters with it.
Does the approach look ok ? Somebody please comment/advise.
thnx.

The structure of the error messages should be fully documented somewhere in the IMS documentation.

I know it is documented like most of the other things but it's not very clear and that's the reason I am posting repeatedly for help.
Hope somebody who knows responds with an explanation.
thanks.
