Before you can use the IMS™ nodes, you must set up the broker runtime
environment so that you can access the IMS system.
Complete the following steps to ensure
that WebSphere® Message
Broker can connect to the IMS system.
- Ensure that IMS Connect
is installed and started on the IMS system.
- If you do not want to configure IMS connection properties directly on the IMSRequest node, define a configurable
service for each IMS system to
which you want to connect.
For example, to create
an IMSConnect configurable service for the IMS instance
IMSA that is
running on
test.ims.ibm.com, port
9999,
run the
mqsicreateconfigurableservice command
as shown:
mqsicreateconfigurableservice MB8BROKER -c IMSConnect -o myIMSConnectService
-n Hostname,PortNumber,DataStoreName -v test.ims.ibm.com,9999,IMSA
For
details about how to create, change, and report configurable services,
see
Changing connection information for the IMSRequest node.
You
can use the IMSConnect configurable service to configure the IMSRequest node to use Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. For more information, see Securing the connection to IMS by using SSL.
- Use the mqsisetdbparms command
to set security details in the broker store.
For
example, to associate a user ID and password pair with an IMS Connect connection, run the
mqsisetdbparms command as shown:
mqsisetdbparms MB8BROKER -n ims::mySecurityIdentity -u myuserid -p mypassword
