IMS Tools and data set encryption support
This topic provides the minimum maintenance required for IMS Tools to support data set encryption for IMS data sets.
In this topic, the following abbreviations are used:
- NA = Not Applicable
- The product does not have function that is impacted by data set encryption.
- SI = Supported when Supported by IMS
- The product supports data set encryption that is supported by IMS. No changes to the product are needed.
- SC = Supported with Product Changes
- The product supports data set encryption that is supported by IMS. Changes to the product are required. The required PTFs are listed. Review each PTF for details.
- SP = Support Pending
- The product does not yet support data set encryption, but will in the future. This page will be updated when the PTF is available.
- Asterisk (*)
- Indicates that the component or stand-alone product is also included as a component in one or more of the solution packs.
The data is current as of 19 September 2023.
Reminder:
- This list is for IMS Tools maintenance only, and does not include other IMS for z/OS® maintenance that might be required.
- If a prior release of a product is not listed in the matrix, it does not support data set encryption.
- Information in this table related to OSAM data set encryption applies if you convert an OSAM data set to a VSAM linear data set, regardless of whether the data set is actually encrypted.

Note 1: The IMS Database Repair Facility function in IMS HP Pointer
Checker and IMS Fast Path Solution Pack is listed as a separate entry in the
table. Verify you have the additional PTF required for this component.
Note 2: With PTF IU72743, IMS Recovery Solution Pack will support
encrypted OSAM databases except for recovery from image copy data sets which were created by:
1) IMS Image Copy 2 utility, 2) Advanced Image Copy process of IMS HP Image Copy, 3) User image
copy, and 4) Incremental image copy process. Additional PTFs will be required to remove these
restrictions.
