Experienced system programmers, administrators and data base administrators can do the first steps to bring IMS and Java together. During the IMS Symposium, November 16 – 19, 2009 in Bad Soden we offer self-paced training where you can write your first Java program.
The self-paced training is offered during the week without a fixed schedule. Take your time whenever you like. If you need support, we are there.

Scenario
IMS in this scenario plays the role of the wholesale dealer which delivers goods to its wholesale customers. It implements the back-order function, where the stores can order products to sell.
For the back-order function, the IMS transaction uses its own database. This is an IMS database, which is made of the following assumptions:
There are multiple inventory locations, where the items are stored. Think of it like a company that has inventories in Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich. But not all inventories have all items in stock.
There is a customer database, for which each customer can have multiple mailing addresses (1-n), multiple (1-n) contact persons and multiple orders (1-n).
Each order consists of an item list which holds the part numbers, amount and descriptions.
If a customer orders 100 parts, but this order cannot fulfilled by one inventory the order will be split and separate deliveries (e.g. 50 parts from Frankfurt and 50 parts from Hamburg) will occur. Therefore each item in the order can have 1-n deliveries.
The item database holds the item information and the amount of items that is in stock for each of the inventories.
