Invoke IMS DC commands through stored procedure

Hi,

The requirement is to use a .net webservice to invoke a mainframe cobol program and execute the program as a stored procedure in DB2 work load manager.

And, the cobol program should execute IMS DC commands. Any idea on this?

Thanks.

Requirement is to give access to stop/start IMS transactions/databases using a webservice (URL). The webservice in turn will execute the IMS commands. Not sure if we need a cobol program to be executed here. The bottom line is to execute a set of IMS DC transactions in background without the user logging into mainframes.

In the sticky where to find info about IMS follow the first link and search for SPOC in order to explore further.......

Have not tried it, but should work...

* web application runs CGI program in REXX.
* CGI program executes REXX SPOC API to issue operator commands
* REXX SPOC API issues the QUEUE TRAN command.

Alternatively, you can just submit a batch SPOC job that issues the QUEUE TRAN command. Batch SPOC is new in IMS V10
