Parameter reference

ITKBSRVR(servername)

servername specifies the name of the IMS Tools Knowledge Base server XCF group where the reports generated under IMS Database Recovery Facility in the IMS Tools Knowledge Base repository are stored.

The IMS Tools Knowledge Base server must be running.

The IMS Tools Knowledge Base client load library must be provided by concatenating in STEPLIB in both the IMS Database Recovery Facility master address space and applicable subordinate address space JCL procedures, including the RSS (recovery sort subordinate address space).

This parameter is optional. However, if not specified, no reports are written to the IMS Tools Knowledge Base.

The ITKBSRVR parameter is specific to the UTILGBL control statement and does not impact the integrated auxiliary utilities.

Restriction: In an environment where the ITKBSRVR parameter is specified, RPTTYPE=SAS subparameter of the REPORT parameter cannot be specified in the environmental control statement. If specified, RC=16 and RSN=12 will be returned as the final RC from IMS High Performance Pointer Checker during recovery of full-function database with ADD PC. IMS Database Recovery Facility will then terminate with an RC=16 error.
