| Cause | |
| Resolution | Orbix Mainframe 6.3 updated the imsraw IDL interface in two ways: - the do_trans() operation has been removed. - the IMSRaw interface has been scoped inside a module called IT_MFA_IMS To maintain backwards compatibility with older client applications, the IMS server adapter can be configured to expose the legacy unscoped imsraw API. The relevant configuration variables are "plugins:imsa:imsraw_api_support" and "plugins:cicsa:cicsraw_api_support". Both of these can be set to "scoped", "unscoped", or "both". The "scoped" setting exposes only the scoped IT_MFA_IMS::imsraw or IT_MFA_CICS::cicsraw API. This is the default setting. The "unscoped" setting exposes only the unscoped imsraw or cicsraw API. Finally, the "both" setting expose both scoped and unscoped versions of the API |
