Global Transaction Support needed for .NET ODBM Development

We would like the .NET ODBM capability to be able to handle both LOCAL and GLOBAL transaction processing just as the JAVA IMS Universal Drivers offer both capabilities.

    Dear Mr. Robert De Sesa:

    Thank you for submitting this IMS enhancement request.
    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it is not consistent with the product direction. As a consequence we have, unfortunately, rejected this request.

    We appreciate your input to the IMS development team. We also hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IMS.

    Sincerely,
    Poonam Chitale

    It is a step in the right direction to have .Net access to IMS databases in IMS 13, but that's only the first part. Real world applications need the coordination of work across platforms with integrity. Looking forward to this enhancement.
