IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS Interface for IMS DB: support for DBCTL
IMS support for DBCTL accesses IMS data by using DL/I data calls through the CCTL (coordinator controller). The CCTL provides communications for the DBCTL environment and consists of a subsystem that contains a database resource client (DRA).
The DBTCL (database control) is an environment that allows full-function and data entry databases (DEDBs) to be accessed from a management system.
The IMS Interface Facilities option on the Primary Option Menu provides access to the Server IMS
Data Mapping Facility features.
