IMS Web Language Environment

The IMS Web language environment is part of a complete end-to-end solution for running your IMS transactions in the World Wide Web environment using Net.Data. The IMS Web language environment provides:

The IMS Web Studio tool generates code for the DLL and the macro, as well as a make file for building the DLL executable, from the Message Format Service (MFS) source for the transaction and a sample HTML page for the IMS Web Net.Data application. After the executable form of the DLL has been built, the user moves theDLL and the macros to the Web server that is running Net.Data. The transaction is ready to run in the Web environment.

IMS Web uses the IMS TCP/IP Open Transaction Manager Access (OTMA) Connection to communicate between the Web server and IMS environments.

See the IMS Web home page for more information about using IMS Web.
