ODBM client registration in a CSL

Before application programs can access IMS databases through ODBM, they, or their application server, must register with ODBM as a client. An ODBM client registers with ODBM by issuing the CSLDMREG request of the ODBM CSLDMI interface.

After the ODBM client has registered with ODBM, the application programs running under them can issue ODBA calls to IMS through ODBM.

Prior to registering with ODBM, the ODBM client must first register with SCI. When the ODBM client is done issuing ODBA calls to IMS, it can deregister by issuing a CSLDMDRG request.

For more information about the ODBM CSLDMI interface, including the CSLDMREG and CSLDMDRG requests, see IMS Version 15.2 System Programming APIs.
