Other sample applications verified by the IVP

The IVP jobs and tasks also verify and demonstrate the setup of several IMS components, such as the Common Service Layer (CSL) and Common Queue Server (CQS) sample application, the type-2 command environment sample application, SPOC display of OM audit trail sample application, and the parallel RECON access sample application.

The sample applications to test IMS components include:

• CSL and CQS sample application
  This sample application demonstrates how to use the Operations manager (OM), Resource manager (RM), Structured Call Interface (SCI), TSO single point of control (SPOC), and CQS. Specifically, this sample application demonstrates:

  • Adding CSL members OM, RM, and SCI to the IMS PROCLIB data set to define an IMSplex
  • Adding CQS members to the IMS PROCLIB data set
  • Starting and stopping an IMSplex and CQS
  • Starting and using the TSO SPOC application, including how to issue IMS type-1 and type-2 commands

  The steps for these sample applications are described in the O series jobs and tasks of the IVP.

• Type-2 command environment sample application

  This sample application demonstrates how to use OM, SCI, and the TSO SPOC without RM. I

  n addition, you can inform OM whether to display information from the audit trail.

  Specifically, this sample application demonstrates:

  • Adding OM and SCI members to the IMS PROCLIB data set to define an environment in which RM is not required and type-2 commands can be issued
  • Using the TSO SPOC to issue commands to IMS

  The steps for this sample application are described in the P series jobs and tasks of the IVP.

• SPOC display of OM audit trail sample application

  This sample application demonstrates how to display the OM audit trail information from a TSO SPOC session. You can view an audit trail of command input, associated command response output, and unsolicited output messages by using the TSO SPOC menus.

  The steps for these sample applications are described in the O series jobs and tasks of the IVP.

  Support for the OM audit trail functions is available in the IVP. The OM audit trail records unsolicited messages as well as command input and command responses to a z/OS® log stream. The z/OS system logger is required to provide storage for the audit trail. Two jobs, IV_E303J and IV_E307T, are part of the backend preparation for the audit trail functionality.

  The sample job that defines z/OS policies (IV_E307T) names the primary structure as IMSOM2Q01 for the audit trail purposes. This structure is associated with the AUDITLOG= parameter of CSLOIxxx member (the OM initialization IMS PROCLIB data set member) to specify a log stream data set name for storing log records.

  For more information about IMS OM audit trail, see IMS Version 15.2 System Administration.

• Parallel RECON access sample application

  IMS IVP provides instructions on how to configure parallel access to RECON data sets in the sample IMS system and how to verify the new function setup after an IMS installation.

  The steps for these sample applications are described in the R series jobs and tasks of the IVP. For more information about IMS parallel RECON access, see IMS Version 15.2 System Administration.
