IMS Tools Base RECON Information – IMS Data Sets reference (ISPF interface only)

Use the IMS Tools Base RECON Information -- IMS Data Sets panel to specify the data set names of DBD, PSB, and ACB libraries.

Table 1. IMS Tools Base RECON Information – IMS Data Sets reference
Option Description

DBDLIB, PSBLIB, ACBLIB

Specify DBD, PSB, and ACB library data sets to be used by the following functions:
  • Database and Application Administration > IMS Resource Change
  • IMS Catalog and ACBLIB Management > Import Objects

The data sets are used as default libraries in DBDGEN, PSBGEN, ACBGEN, and IMS catalog populate processes.

If you do not specify data sets, IMS Administration Tool automatically discovers the data sets from IMS control region JCL and IMS PROCLIB data sets.

Note: When non-IMS managed ACBs are used, ACB libraries specified in the panel are not used. IMS Administration Tool discovers ACB library data sets from the IMS online system and uses them.

RECON ID

The associated RECON ID that is defined to IMS Tools Base. The RECON data sets defined to the RECON ID and the RECON data sets that the members of the IMS data sharing group use must match.

Information about DBD, PSB, and ACB libraries is stored in the RECON ID information in the IMS Tools Knowledge Base repository. The library information is shared with IMS Tools Base and IMS Administration Foundation.

IMS Administration Tool sets the RECON ID. You can update the RECON ID but you must make sure that the updated RECON ID uses the same RECON data sets as those used by the IMS data sharing group.
