Adding the IMS Connect entry to the z/OS Program Properties Table

IMS Connect uses the predefined z/OS® Program Properties Table (PPT) entry BPEINI00, but HWSHWS00 is also supported.

The example shown below uses HWSHWS00 instead of BPEINI00. HWSHWS00 is not included in the default PPT, so you must add HWSHWS00 to the PPT if you want to use it.

Recommendation: Use BPEINI00 on your IMS Connect startup JCL and then you do not have to put HWSHWS00 in the PPT.

Example

For TCP/IP communications, add the following entry in the z/OS PPT:

PPT PGMNAME(HWSHWS00)     /* PROGRAM NAME = HWSHWS00           */
         CANCEL           /* PROGRAM CAN BE CANCELED           */
         KEY(7)           /* PROTECT KEY ASSIGNED IS 7         */
         SWAP             /* PROGRAM IS SWAPPABLE              */
         NOPRIV           /* PROGRAM IS NOT PRIVILEGED         */
         DSI              /* REQUIRES DATA SET INTEGRITY       */
         PASS             /* CANNOT BYPASS PASSWORD PROTECTION */
         SYST             /* PROGRAM IS A SYSTEM TASK          */
         AFF(NONE)        /* NO CPU AFFINITY                   */
