Enhance TMRA to get the name of the program performing a callout

APAR PH24630 added the IMS program name of the program performing a callout to the OTMA state header of the callout message. Please add a method to TMRA to get this information from the OTMA state header.

Expedite the OTMA ACEE cleanup

Some IMS customers have many cached OTMA ACEEs for RACF userids. Searching through hash synonym chains for OTMA ACEEs is using much CPU. The number of hash chains should be increased from the current 509. Also – if the ACEEs were chained in ascend...

SPUFI-like DDL interface

As discussed during IMS managed ACB meeting, we would prefer to have SPUFI-like DDL interface instead of java based SQL Batch utility.

Improve IMS OTMA resilience in periods of system slowdown.

OTMA storage utilization includes static storage for control blocks and variable storage for various buffers and working storage.The variable storage both varies in size and in duration of allocation, depending on phase of OTMA processing.System s...

Support passing Network session ID and Network user ID using IMS Connect API for Java

Change/increase MAXSOC for IMS Connect dynamically

The total number of sockets that IMS Connect supports across all TCP/IP ports at the same time is set by the MAXSOC parameter in the TCPIP configuration statement of the IMS Connect configuration member. If the number of sockets reaches the maximu...

Autonomic MAXTP TPIPE limit

IMS should optionally autonomically calculate TPIPE limits, instead of making clients calculate what their MAXTP parameter should be.

Remove constraints on number of OTMA resources

We need IMS to allow a much larger number of OTMA resources like TPIPEs, YQABS, etc than currently possible.

Moving LSAVs into OTMA ITASK block itself for removing any storage management overhead

Add the 20 save areas into the main OTMA ITASK block DSECT, for example DFSYQAB. Get the one block, chain its save areas together, and then pass SA1 to DFSCIR. This will get rid of LSAVs and the DFSBCB GET for save areas all together.
