5-Setting up Unified Management Server for IMS Administration Foundation

If you have installed IBM® Unified Management Server for z/OS®, you can configure and activate IMS Administration Foundation features, which provide a subset of the features that have been provided by IBM Management Console for IMS and Db2 for z/OS.

About this task

The IMS Administration Foundation features that are activated by IBM IMS Tools Base for z/OS and IBM IMS Recovery Solution Pack for z/OS include viewing charts based on sensor data, database exceptions, and reports. The graphical user interface is provided by IBM Unified Experience for z/OS that runs as an application for Zowe virtual desktop.

The IBM Unified Management Server for z/OS provides a web service infrastructure and a unified user interface that consolidate information from IMS subsystems and Db2 subsystems on a sysplex.

At least one Unified Management Server server instance must be set up on each sysplex and on top of a Zowe infrastructure running on the sysplex.
