Upgrading to IMS Problem Investigator V2R5

Upgrading to the next release of IMS Problem Investigator should be simple and straightforward, but check this list of considerations.

    Install all current maintenance. This will ensure that all new function is available.

  3. Complete installation of the IMS Problem Investigator dialog by following either of the two methods described in Starting IMS Problem Investigator with ALZOREXX.
  4. All objects created in earlier releases of IMS Problem Investigator are upwardly compatible to IMS Problem Investigator V2R5 and automatically converted, where required.
  5. If you use IMS Performance Analyzer for z/OS (5655-R03), you have the option to share System Definitions with IMS Problem Investigator by specifying your IMS Performance Analyzer Profile Library in option 0.1. Note that IMS Problem Investigator will automatically set your IMS Performance Analyzer Profile Library if it detects that you have IMS Performance Analyzer installed. If you do not specify an IMS Performance Analyzer Profile Library, your IMS Problem Investigator Systems and Groups will be saved in your IMS Problem Investigator Personal Profile Library.
  6. To ensure that IMS Problem Investigator uses the V2R5 Knowledge Modules, specify the correct IMS Problem Investigator Load Library for V2R5 in option 0.1. Otherwise, the IMS Problem Investigator dialog issues a message such as:
