What's new in IMS Administration Tool

• You can specify whether to retain copied log records in the z/OS system logger log stream. With SYSIN control statements, copied log records are deleted from the log stream.
• You can write audit log records and command log records to separate data sets. With SYSIN control statements, both types of log records are copied to a single data set.

For more information, see Reference: Command and Audit Log Archive (ATYARCH0) utility.

Steps to add the IMSCATHLQ statement are removed from Required template modifications for IMS-managed ACBs environment.

The following topic is updated: Export objects reference.

• Export objects function: Export data sets
• Import objects function: Backup data sets

If initialization is requested, all existing members in the data sets are deleted before export or import. If initialization is not requested, existing members in the data sets are not deleted; new members are added and any member with the same name is overwritten.

To enable this option, apply the PTF for APAR PH57421 to IMS Library Integrity Utilities.

• Only super administrators can define and change scope designations of products and systems.
• Only super administrators can configure settings from the Setup and Administration menu. In the ISPF interface, some functions that are available from the Setup and Administration menu are also made available from the Settings menu of each function so that regular users can also configure some settings.
• Relaxes the permission required to change the options for the record DBD/PSB statements function from UPDATE to READ, allowing super administrators to change the options. Users with UPDATE authority do not need to be changed to READ authority.

• More detailed status indicators.
• C column that indicates mismatch between DBD/PSB members and active/pending instances.
• Supports the capability to delete instances.

For more information, see IMS catalog space and DBD/PSB analysis.

• The Search Backups in All IMS IDs field in the Restore from Latest panel is obsolete. IMS Administration Tool identifies the latest backup taken with any sharing IMS systems.
• The List Backups of the Same IMS Directory in All IMS IDs option in the Backup List panel is obsolete. All backups from all sharing IMS systems are displayed in a list from which you can select the backup to use for restore.
• Prior to this APAR, settings parameters must be defined for each IMS system. After this APAR, if you define settings parameters for one of the sharing IMS systems, these setting parameter values are applied to all other sharing IMS systems.

These changes are for the ISPF interface only.

• DBD/PSB compare reference—between IMS directory and ACB library
• DBD/PSB compare reference—IMS directories
• DBD/PSB compare reference—IMS directory and IMS catalog

Documentation changes related to the IMS SPUFI function. IMS SPUFI JBP issues a SYNC(commit) DL/I call on ISPUFI execution regardless of whether all SQL statements are successfully processed or not. The function has been modified so that a SYNC(commit) DL/I call is issued only when all of the SQL statements are successfully processed. The following topic is updated: IMS SPUFI overview

Documentation updates:

• Restriction added to Scope designations for products
• Updates made to Reference: DBD and PSB update (ATY@OBJU) JCL
• New topic Return codes

• DBD/PSB compare
• New or changed messages: ATY3609W, ATY3609E, ATY3958E

• Before this APAR, the DBD/PSB compare panel can be accessed from the IMS Catalog and Directory Management menu. After this APAR, the panel can be accessed from the Database and Application Administration menu.
• Ability to compare DBD and PSB resources in IMS directory data sets (either original data sets or backup data sets) with those in the IMS catalog database.

• Backup: Creates backup data sets using the high-level qualifier (HLQ) and the SMS class specifications.
• Restore: If the discovery of restore data sets fails and IMS Administration Tool cannot find restore data sets, creates IMS data sets using the SMS class specifications.
