A system for facilitating XML enable IMS transactions includes a generic XML processor inside an IMS connect program to facilitate any TCP/IP clients, including WebSphere and non-WebSphere, to send and receive XML documents to and from existing IMS transaction business logic. Translations between XML documents and IMS transaction message data structures occur within the IMS connect program under an XML task to parse and transform XML requests and responses. Further, the generic XML processor within the IMS connect program can provide data translation for both non-formatted and formatted IMS transactional messages in XML.

The present invention provides methods and systems for a customizable collector application, which automates multiple diagnostic techniques to obtain sets of diagnostic information. The collector application is easily customizable for use by different products, and may reduce the diagnostic information gathering to a single session. This includes gathering all of the required sets of information about a product problem, the hardware environment, the maintenance levels of the operating system environment, and the involved middleware, both local and distributed. In addition, the collector application has a reusable framework designed to have minor external customization for each product that requires its' service. The output of the collector application may be provided in a format, such as XML, that is viewable by another application, such as browser.
