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. These features provide a subset of the functions that were available in IBM Management Console for IMS and Db2 for z/OS, and they also include additional capabilities for IMS catalogs, such as IMS catalog queries and DDL representations of DBDs and PSBs.
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.
Procedure
- If you installed IBM IMS Tools Base for z/OS 1.8 and plan to use only the IMS Administration Foundation features on IBM Unified Management Server for z/OS, follow the instructions in the IMS Administration Foundation Installation and Configuration Guide.
- If you installed IBM IMS Tools Base for z/OS 1.7 or also plan to use the features of Db2 Tools products for IBM Unified Management Server for z/OS, follow the instructions in the IBM Unified Management Server for z/OS 1.2 User Guide (UMS User Guide).
