They both have their +s and -s, The logging for IMS is very
good. Easy
Frank,
From IMS/DC point of view, It works almost the same. CICS has DBCTL that
perform as a limited DBRC as well as IMS/DC has the DLI DBRC address
spaces. Same commands, traces etc. Is this what your question refer to ?

Frank,
IMS DC does the same thing as CICS, but completely different.
An IMS control region with its message region function basically like CICSPlex
with AOR's and TOR's.
Transactions in IMS can be tied to specific message regions and you can have
several message regions tied to a control
Can probably get a good answer from the IMS listserv that BMC Supports:

1) How does BMS compare to MFS. Power, flexibility, ease of use.
Pretty similar. One run to create a binary map, one run to create the copybook.
2) Does IMS TM have an API for miscellaneous functions
I'm not really an expert on this topic. We're an IMS shop, but all the
IMS topics
are hidden behind a site specific application framework, so that most of
IMS is
not visible to the applications. In my earlier life, I worked at a
company, which used
CICS on VSE. So my impression is:

I have programmed with both systems. IMS TM seems to be a bit cleaner
to me. CICS seems to be more susecptible to other program's errors.
Both feature 3270 screen handling, storing information between screen
actions, updating databases, sending updated screens.

Try Google for IMS DC. The IMS Transaction Manager used to be called
experienced your staff is. BTW, calls in cics are
frowned upon, the last time I checked.
