Creating the HPCA-ID and profile

Use the HPCA-ID/IMS Profile panel to specify an HPCA-ID that uniquely identifies an IMS system on which the IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility program runs.

The HPCA-ID/IMS Profile panel in represents the main ISPF panel for IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility.

For example:

  To create a new HPCA-ID/IMS profile, enter an HPCA-ID and its description

Specifying the HPCA-ID name and profile

An HPCA-ID profile is an entry in a table that associates an HPCA-ID with its related DBRC utility program data sets.

Each HPCA-ID is associated with data sets that are required by the DBRC utility program.

To create an HPCA-ID profile, enter any 1-4 character string to represent the HPCA-ID name. You can use the IMS System ID for this name.

Enter a 1-30 character string as a short descriptor of the IMS system identified by the HPCA-ID. It is recommended that you include the IMS release level in the descriptor. The HPCA-ID/IMS Profile panel shows a sample list of existing HPCA-ID profiles.

To delete an entry from the table, enter the D line command.

Associating DBRC utility data sets

An HPCA-ID profile is not complete until the DBRC utility program data sets have been associated with the HPCA-ID.

To create the association, enter the line command T, or wait until prompted by the system. You can also use the T line command when you want to change the data sets associated with an HPCA-ID.

To use the ISPF user interface for a specific IMS system, select the HPCA-ID by entering the S line command in the table row for that HPCA-ID. If the DBRC data sets for the selected HPCA-ID have not been defined, you are prompted to define them using the DBRC Utility Data Sets panel.

You can also enter line commands on multiple lines. The commands are processed in the sequence of displayed rows.
