Map Using optimized local adapters for outbound support

Use this task when you are implementing the optimized local adapters support for calling programs in external address spaces from WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® applications.

Before you begin

You must install WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 Fix Pack 4 or Fix Pack 12 before you can use the optimized local adapters.

Fix Pack 12 is required to support of Information Management System (IMS) applications.

About this task

Optimized local adapters can be used to make outbound calls from an application running under WebSphere Application Server for z/OS to a server program that is running in an external address space, as well as make inbound calls to Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) applications that are deployed on a local WebSphere Application Server for z/OS server from an external address space.

The following illustration shows the flow when using optimized local adapters with Customer Information Control System (CICS®).Application server outbound call to a CICS transaction

The next illustration is the flow when using optimized local adapters with Information Management System (IMS).Application server outbound call using optimized local adapters to a legacy IMS transaction

The following steps describe the process required to call a native language z/OS server program that is running in an external address space.

Procedure

  1. Enable the server environment.
  2. Prepare an existing application.
  3. (Optional) Use the CICS environment.
  4. (Optional) Use the IMS environment.
  5. Register an external address space.
  6. Secure optimized local adapters for outbound support.
  7. Make outbound calls.
  8. (Optional) Monitor optimized local adapters.

Results

You have implemented the optimized local adapters support to call programs in external address spaces from WebSphere Application Server applications.
