Hello, I have a requirement to use IMS Data capture exit (DBD EXIT=COBOL PROGRAM) to log all IMS database-A data changes to another IMS Database-B. I can not use IMS log, due to processing time constraints.

I have developed a Database exit in COBOL, which uses AIBTDLI call to insert info to the IMS database-B.

It works fine, when insert/update/delete occurs on IMS Database-A from a batch program. Will it work the same way when IMS Database-A is inserted/updated/deleted from a CICS program?

Reason I am asking is because, IMS manual says AIBTDLI if used in combination with a database exit in CICS region might conflict with CICS address space.

Am I wrong in reading this or it can be done? I need some insight as I want to gather as much info as I can before I do the testing, as I have to approach another department to have CICS setup.

Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

The Manual I am referring to is
