Installing the required common tools from IMS Tools Base

Many of the tools and functions included in IMS Fast Path Solution Pack require the use of the common tools that are included in IMS Tools Base.

The following common tools integrate with the tools and functions in IMS Fast Path Solution Pack:

• Autonomics Director
• Distributed Access Infrastructure
• IMS Tools Common Services
• IMS Tools Knowledge Base
• Policy Services

To perform the SMP/E installation, see the Program Directory for IBM IMS Tools Base for z/OS®, GI10-8819. This process allocates and downloads the target and distribution libraries and performs the SMP/E installation of the tools included in IMS Tools Base.

Optionally, if you are installing IMS Tools Base 1.7 or later, you can install IMS Administration Foundation, which activates the IMS administration web-browser interface of IBM® Unified Management Server for z/OS to enable the management of IMS systems and resources. To install IMS Administration Foundation, install IBM Unified Management Server for z/OS by following the instructions in the Program Directory for IBM Unified Management Server for z/OS, GI13-5914, and then follow the instructions in the Program Directory for IBM IMS Tools Base for z/OS, GI10-8819.

After you install IMS Tools Base, continue with the installation of IMS Fast Path Solution Pack before configuring each tool included in IMS Tools Base.
