This session discusses how IMS is key to the integration of your enterprise architecture; how it supports open integration technologies both within and beyond enterprise boundaries. This session brings you up to speed on the robust integration capabilities with IBM's strategic solutions, plus cross-brand initiatives, including Clouds, Mobile, Big Data, and Analytics, etc. You will learn how you can leverage your IT resources to better respond to emerging strategic initiatives!

Requirements: IMS Transactions and
Large Attachments Requirements

26. © 2014 IBM Corporation
26
IMS Transactions & Large Attachments Business Value
Target Market
– Enterprise customers with IMS TM and DB2 zOS who desire to drive IMS transactions
with “immutable” large data, e.g. picture files, clinical records, documents, and biometric
signatures, etc..
Challenge Addressed
– Today IMS cannot satisfy this requirement, because transactional messages have to be
segmented to be processed.
Solution Statement
– Large attachments will be stored in DB2 z/OS; only the handlers, i.e. RowID(s), will be
passed through IMS transactional pipelines
Business Value
– To make IMS relevant in today and future IT environment, it is valuable to extend existing
IMS TM capabilities to handle unmodifiable large transactional message data.

27. © 2014 IBM Corporation
27
Large Attachments: Customer Requirements
RFE 31993
– More and more clinical artifacts, e.g. XRays, MRIs, and genetic info, etc. are being
digitized. Today customers use a manual type of process to coordinate files for claims.
It is desirable to have transactional integrity support for claim processing on z/OS with
IMS transactions. These image files, stored as attachments in a repository, are
immutable; and attachments would be used to make business decisions by medical
professionals.
RFE 31973
– A large Banking System in African desires to drive IMS transactions with "finger prints"
for security reasons. They also have the need to deliver PDF and JPEG to external
servers via IMS transactions. (This customer believes that DB2 as a repository to
support large attachments for IMS transactions will provide a robust and scalable
solution.)
Large Credit Card Co. in USA
– This client wants to explore Large Attachments capabilities with IMS transactions for
"documents" and "payments & billing processing". They have voted the Large
Attachments RFE 31993
Large Banking system in NA
– Wants to pass documents for their loans business with IMS Large Attachments.
Large Banking system
– Huge IMS message data, i.e. 10 MB, is needed to synch up customer data between
IMS and Oracle Exadata

Distributed Network Security Credential Propagation
Today’s distributed model:
End-user signs on to a distributed application, e.g. WAS, with distributed User ID
• Distributed applications often use a common RACF user-ID (e.g. IMSadmin) when invoking IMS, CICS, DB2 to process the request.
• This distributed User ID (e.g. jane.uuid@hotmail.com) not passed to IMS, etc. and on to RACF, making end-user accountability
difficult to determine.
• Do you have a requirement of propagating original Network Identity for both inbound and outbound requests?
