Process summary for product registration

The Run IMS Utilities function generates JCL for IMS Tools products. Information about each IMS Tools product is stored in the IMS Tools Knowledge Base repository.

IMS Tools products information stored in the IMS Tools Knowledge Base repository includes JCL templates to run the functions provided by that IMS Tools product. You can create your own JCL by customizing JCL templates.

You can specify values for the variables used in JCL statements from the following panels:

(Super administrators only) Setup and Administration > Updating Product Registry
(ISPF interface only) Run IMS Utilities > Settings

For more information about product registration, functions, templates, and variables, see Updating the product registry.
