Creating runtime MSC resource definitions with the CREATE command

When dynamic resource definition (DRD) is enabled for MSC resources, you can create runtime MSC resources in an online IMS system by using the IMS type-2 CREATE commands, including CREATE LTERM, CREATE MSLINK, CREATE MSNAME, and CREATE MSPLINK.

Create MSC resources such as definitions for MSC physical links, logical links, logical link paths, and remote terminals by using the appropriate CREATE command for the type of resource definition that you want to create.

The resource definitions that you create by using the CREATE commands are not saved across a cold start unless you export the definitions to the IMSRSC repository or code the changes to the MSC resources into stage-1 system definition macros.

To create MSC resource definitions:

Procedure

  1. Optional: Issue a QUERY command for the type of resource definition that you want to create, to view settings and evaluate whether they meet your requirements for the new MSC resource definition.
  2. Issue the CREATE command for the type of MSC resource you want to create. MSC resources must be created in the following order for the MSC link to be usable: CREATE MSPLINK, CREATE MSLINK, CREATE MSNAME, and CREATE LTERM.
