Abstract
The present invention includes aspects pertaining to enabling an IMS batch application program to temporarily release its access to IMS resources that it shares with an IMS database management system or other non-IMS system agent, without terminating the application program. The present invention identifies when the batch application program issues a call that generate a sync point, and disconnects the program's connection to the IMS resources. The batch application program retains access to any independently obtained non-IMS resources when the program is disconnected from the IMS resources. The IMS database management system or other non-IMS system agent has temporary exclusive access to the IMS resources after the batch application program connection is disconnected. After such temporary exclusive access is complete, the batch application program's connection to the IMS resources is reestablished, and the batch application receives a response to its original call that generated a sync point. In another embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of IMS batch application programs temporarily release their access to IMS resources. In this embodiment, the IMS database management system or other non-IMS system agent obtains temporary exclusive access to the IMS resources after all of said plurality of batch application program connections to IMS resources are disconnected.
