JCLIN processing

The JCLIN process ensures that SMP/E knows how to manage any maintenance that is added to the system following an IMS system definition.

Because the stage 2 system definition process actually assembles and binds the IMS modules based on the definitions for that particular system and is run outside of SMP/E control, the input JCL for system definition stage 2 must be used as input to the JCLIN process. This input JCL ensures that SMP/E knows how to manage any maintenance that is added to the system following this IMS system definition.

Run the JCLIN process following any IMS system definition, to ensure that SMP/E is always synchronized with the updated IMS.
