IMS Synchronous Callout with DataPower 6.0

� IMS synchronously go outbound to external server via DataPower

− Implement IMS synchronous callout protocol

− Support the common container model architecture with IMS Callout Front-side Handlers that retrieve IMS callout messages and send response data

� Using existing WTX Design Studio tooling for data transformation

� The handler internally creates one or more IMS Connect dedicated persistent socket connections to the host system, using Enterprise Suite V2.2 IMS Connect API in Java.

� The handler communicates with IMS Connect via a new DataPower dedicated user message exit, HWSDPWR1.

– For shared queue environment, user can choose to create multiple IMS Callout connections, one for each IMS datastore.
