Overview:
IBM IMS™ Batch Terminal Simulator for z/OS® is a testing and debugging tool that offers a comprehensive way to check application program logic, IMS application interfaces, teleprocessing activity, 3270 format control blocks, and database activity.
It simulates the behavior of applications and generates reports that contain detailed information about the processed transactions. The solution improves application programming, testing productivity, and efficiency to save cost and time.
Enhance productivity
Increase application programmer productivity by providing a comprehensive way to test and debug IMS application and database activity.
Simplify scheduling and operations
Use flexible application test periods to make scheduling and operations easier.
Reduce resource requirements
Significantly reduce system administrator tasks and IMS resource requirements for test environment set-up.
Lower cost and MIPS consumption
Use a lightweight testing environment compared to testing with full IMS resources to lower cost and MIPS consumption.
Features:
Comprehensive reports
Leverage comprehensive reports showing all activities during program execution, such as IMS DLI call trace, Db2® call trace, WebSphere® MQ call trace, LU6.2/APPC, ETO Status code, and more.
Transaction processing simulation
Utilize simulated transaction processing in batch mode and generate listings containing screen images of transactions including data, user identification information and timestamp through an audit report program.
Utilize as a training tool
Enable new application programmers to learn the functions and behavior of their application programs by studying the test scenarios and recorded activity trace information.
IMS application testing
Run and test IMS applications from a development environment with the Eclipse interface. You can use common Eclipse wizards to set up runtime parameters and application libraries to run IMS Batch Terminal Simulator.
Transparent testing
Process multiple transactions in one step with no changes required to IMS code, control blocks, libraries, or application load modules. Flexible application test periods make application program testing easier to schedule and perform in a more stable online system in both test and production environments.
Integrated application testing
Leverage integration with IBM Debug Tool for z/OS and Rational® Developer for System z® to provide an integrated application testing and debugging environment.
