We have a mainframes appliation on z/OS 1.10 and IMS v9.1. This application is now going to interface with a web application on AIX to receive some financial data as MQ messages and this will invoke IMS transactions via OTMA on the mainframes end.

We had initially planned to use the IMS Adapter with trigger monitor, which would invoke the IMS transaction to get and process the messages. But due to certain constraints. we would want to opt for the alternate way which is the IMS Bridge mechanism.

The message sizes can vary between 1KB to 10MB with 80% of them lying between 10KB-1MB. Since IMS queues were mentioned to be designed to handle small messages (32K limit) and we will be receiving around 10 messages/sec during peak hours in production.
Is segmentation the only way? Or is there any other way? What do we need to change in our current environment now to handle this?

The requirement is to have a near-realtime response from the mainframe application to the web application. We are sending back status messages using MQ from mainframe application to the web app. thanks!

Message segmentation is the supported and documented (WMQ APG, WMQ APR, WMQ System Setup,...) way.

IMS should be able to handle this with ease.

If the QMgr is running on z/OS, MQ segmentation is not supported on z/OS.

Check this link

Thanks.

More accurately, if the application is running on z/OS...

Refer to the WMQ APG "How the IMS bridge deals with messages" section, Message segmentation. I've copied a snipped here.

You can define IMS transactions as expecting single- or multi-segment input. The originating WebSphere MQ application must construct the user input following the MQIIH structure as one or more LLZZ-data segments. All segments of an IMS message must be contained in a single WebSphere MQ message sent with a single MQPUT.

Thanks for the replies, we decided to go for IMS trigger approach for small messages (<32K) and for batch trigger approach for messages > 32K.
