This APAR also supports a new feature, IMS directory/BSDS backup and restore. You can use the backup function to back up the data sets of the IMS directory, and the restore function to restore the data sets of the IMS directory from a backup.

These enhancements are available only for the ISPF interface.

PRE (UI53972, UI62140, UI68013, UI71806, UI73097)

• Database and application administration
• IMS catalog space analysis

These functional enhancements are available only with the ISPF interface. The web interface does not support these new functions.

To enable the enhancements, you must also apply the PTF for APAR PH18802 to IMS Library Integrity Utilities.

For more information, see What's new in IMS Administration Tool.

PRE (UI51052, UI67469, UI68635, UI71806)

• Predefine data sets and use them in database and application administration functions and in IMS catalog and ACBLIB management functions.
• Select which resource change tasks to perform.
• Merge multiple DBD libraries, PSB libraries, or ACB libraries into a single data set.

These new capabilities are available only with the ISPF interface. The web interface does not support these new capabilities.

PRE (UI50926, UI51052, UI53053, UI55415, UI58059, UI62140, UI65519, UI67194)

PRE (UI53472, UI66679)

The Run IMS utilities function generates the IDCAMS DELETE and DEFINE statements of VSAM LDS with KEYLABEL attribute when the utility profile contains "DELETE/DEFINE Database(s)".

Before this APAR, the DELETE NONVSAM and ALLOCATE statements are coded even if the original data set is VSAM LDS. After this APAR, the Run IMS utilities retrieves the information of the original VSAM LDS, and codes the DELETE and DEFINE with KEYLABEL attribute statements.

For a list of IMS Tools PTFs related to data set encryption support, see IMS Tools and data set encryption support.

PRE (UI63459)

ISPUFI is a feature to query and update IMS data by SQL statements. This feature allows you to directly interact with an IMS system by developing and running interactive SQL statements and reviewing the resulting output. You can issue SQL statements SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE to view, insert, update, and delete data in IMS databases.

SQL statements are executed in a COBOL application (IMS BMP application) or Java application (IMS JBP application). To execute SQL statements in a Java application, you must apply the PTF for this APAR and set up a Java environment. For more information, see the IMS Administration Tool 1.1 User's Guide and Reference.

Enhancements to ISPUFI for the IMS Administration Tool web interface are provided by APAR PH19836. Both ISPF and web interface APARs should be installed at the same time.

Also, IMS Tools Setup of IMS Tools Base has been enhanced by APAR PH19926 to support generating customized JCL members for setting up the Java environment for IMS SPUFI JBP.

• Compatibility with batch processing functions of IMS Command Control Facility (CCF). To enable batch JCL jobs and application programs of CCF, complete the migration steps described in the IMS Administration Tool 1.1 User's Guide and Reference.
  Note: IMS Tools Setup provides a new JCL to support IMS Administration Tool CCF capability. For details, see APAR PH16255.

• A function to specify command job options for IMS command processor batch jobs. This allows you to set options for the IMS command batch jobs and override the IMS command global options.
  Note: To enable this function for the web interface, apply APAR PH15403 with this APAR PH15400.

• APAR PH15400: this APAR
• APAR PH16255: required to use a new JCL to support IMS Administration Tool CCF capability
• APAR PH15403: required to enable the enhancements in the web interface

These functions allow you to update DBDs and PSBs and import metadata from COBOL or PL/I copybooks. Then the functions call DBDGEN, PSBGEN, ACBGEN, and IMS Catalog Populate (DFS3PU00) utilities to populate updated DBDs and PSBs to the IMS catalog.

To enable these enhancements in the web interface that is available through IBM® Management Console for IMS and Db2® for z/OS®, you must also apply APAR PH15154.

APAR PH15154 is also required to enable the enhancements in the web interface of IMS Administration Tool.

PRE UI53053, UI58059, UI62140, UI63964

Before this APAR is applied, only a single IMS Administration Tool load library data set was supported when IMS Administration Tool runs in the IMS Tools Base Distributed Access Infrastructure (DAI) Tools Access Server (TAS) and Subordinate TAS (SOT) address space. This is because only one load library can be defined to the SATYLOAD DD statement during the product registration to the IMS Tools Base IMS Tools Knowledge Base repository. Due to this limitation, users had to store customized modules, such as ATY#OPTS and ATYSTFWD, in the same data set where the IMS Administration Tool product load modules reside.

This APAR enhances IMS Administration Tool to support a separate user customized load module library and have it concatenated at runtime.

This APAR changes z/OS back-end modules that run in the IMS Tools Base DAI SOT address space and behind the ISPF user interface. Users who use the web interface must apply APAR PH11245 in addition to this APAR.

After this APAR is applied, users can still use single load library, SATYLOAD. If users already have customized the SATYLOAD load library and do not wish to separate customized modules into a different data set, they do not need to take any action.

This APAR changes the following SATYSAMP sample JCL members to refer to the SYSLOAD data set: ATY$TSTA, ATY$TSTP, ATYASMOP, ATYASMSF, ATYBATCH, ATYBATRX, ATYBMP, ATYBMPR, ATYDLI.

If you have already customized sample JCL members, you must change them again after applying this APAR.

PRE UI53719, UI61565, UI61823, UI62140, UI62340

This APAR enhances the ATYARCH0 batch utility to archive both the audit log records and the command log records. The utility copies the audit log records and command log records from the z/OS log stream to a sequential data set, and deletes the log records from the z/OS log stream.

This APAR also provides a JCL sample for the ATYARCH0 utility.

PRE UI54169

• Import PL/I copybook to DBD - Support multiple copybook libraries
• Support COBOL compile option overrides
• Compare IMS directory active data sets with staging data sets of the same IMSID

PRE UI52938, UI56772

• Import PL/I copybook to DBD
• Support multiple copybook libraries
• Support COBOL compile option overrides
• Compare IMS directory active and staging data sets within the same IMSID

This APAR enhances Administration Tool ISPF and z/OS back-end modules. The z/OS back-end modules are scheduled as subtasks in the Tools Base DAI TAS SOTs. The z/OS back-end modules are called from both ISPF and Management Console. Therefore, this APAR is required even if the user uses Management Console only.

PRE UI51052 UI52937 UI53053 UI55415 UI58059 UI61007 UI61565

• DFSAOE00 alias has been removed from the IMS Administration Tool Load Library (SATYLOAD)
• Note: ATYAOE00 vs. DFSAOE00 must be defined by the user in the DFSDFxxx <SECTION=USER_EXITS>

IMS versions prior to IMS 14 do not support multiple AOE exits so this does not apply. Please see instructions in the user guide for details on earlier IMS versions.

The <SECTION=USER_EXITS> should use ATYAOE00.
