IMS Connect message HWSC0010I enhancement

In IMS 15, IMS Connect message HWSC0010I is enhanced to be issued after IMS Connect initialization is complete. With this enhancement, system administrators can start automated operations after message HWSC0010I is issued to ensure that their automated operations and requests are processed by IMS Connect.

This enhancement is delivered by APAR PI91859 (PTF UI55921).

Previously, message HWSC0010I was issued after IMS Connect started, but IMS Connect might not have completed initialization. Consequently, requests that were sent to IMS Connect after message HWSC0010I was issued might not have been processed and might have failed.

With this enhancement, message HWSC0010I is issued after all the internal components of IMS Connect are initialized.

Restriction: If Open Database Manager (ODBM) is started and RRS=Y is specified, but z/OS Resource Recovery Services (RRS) is not started, IMS Connect does not issue message HWSC0010I. Instead, ODBM issues message CSL4001A. In this situation, message HWSC0010I is issued only after the system operator submits RETRY, CONTINUE, or CANCEL in response to message CSL4001A.

Changes to administering IMS

Message HWSC0010I is changed to be issued after instead of before IMS Connect is initialized. System administrators can change automated operations to start after message HWSC0010I is issued to ensure that the operations are processed by IMS Connect. If message HWSC0010I is already being used to start automated operations, you do not need to change your automation.

Changes to troubleshooting for IMS

Message HWSC0010I is changed to be issued after instead of before IMS Connect is initialized. Message HWSC0010I is also enhanced to specify the ID of the IMS Connect instance. The IMS Connect ID that is specified in message HWSC0010I is defined in the ID= parameter of the HWS statement in the HWSCFGxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data set.
