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
You can use optimized local adapters to make inbound calls
from an external address space to EJB applications that are deployed
on a local
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS server, as well as 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. The following steps
describe the process required to call an EJB application that is deployed
on a local
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS server using the optimized
local adapters application programming interfaces (APIs).
The following
illustration shows the flow when using optimized local adapters with
Customer Information Control System (CICS®).
The
next illustration is the flow when using optimized local adapters
with Information Management System (IMS).
