Connecting the IMS attachment facility

Connecting Db2 to IMS requires coordination with your company's group that supports IMS systems.

Procedure

To connect the IMS attachment facility:

Make Db2 load modules available to IMS.
Define Db2 to IMS.
Define new programs and transactions to IMS.
Depending on your site, you might also need to:
- Define Db2 plans for IMS applications.
- Generate a user language interface.

What to do next

An IMS system definition might be required to complete the steps to connect Db2 to IMS. If RACF® is installed, you also need to define the IMS-to-Db2 connection to RACF.
