Migration from an earlier release of IMS Tools Base

Migration of IMS Tools Base components can be achieved by using IMS Tools Setup. IMS Tools Setup is a function that helps you quickly and efficiently perform the required post-SMP/E-installation customization process for IMS Tools solution pack products.

For instructions, see the topic "Migrating from IMS Tools Base 1.6 to IMS Tools Base 1.7" in the IMS Tools Base: Configuration Guide. IMS Tools Setup also covers migration and customization of IMS Recovery Solution Pack products.

All the components of IMS Tools Base are compatible with earlier releases of IMS Tools Knowledge Base, IMS Tools Online System Interface, and IMS Tools Generic Exits.

If you need to customize IMS Recovery Solution Pack products manually, follow the steps in Customizing IMS Recovery Solution Pack after you migrate IMS Tools Base components. Some of the customization steps that were done when you customized an earlier release of IMS Recovery Solution Pack can be bypassed. However, because IMS Recovery Solution Pack 2.1 provides new functions and features, review all the customization steps and complete the steps that are required for your environment.
