Configuring IMS Tools Online System Interface

IMS Index Builder can internally call IMS Tools Online System Interface to issue IMS commands (/DBD, /DBR, and /STA). The /DBD and /DBR commands prevent transactions or programs from updating the databases while the indexes are built and the /STA command restarts the databases after the indexes are built.

What to do next

After the IMS Tools Online System Interface is configured, add libraries and control statements for enabling the IMS Tools Online System Interface to IMS Index Builder JCL. See Issuing the IMS commands automatically.
