Backing out DRD command-related changes to your online system with a cold start of IMS

You can back out dynamic resource definition (DRD) command-related resource changes to your online system with a cold start of IMS.

Prerequisites: Before you make changes to your system, use the EXPORT DEFN command to either export all the resource and descriptor definitions to a non-system resource definition data set (RDDS) or export the resource and descriptor definitions that are to be changed or deleted to the IMSRSC repository. Then, issue CREATE, UPDATE, and DELETE commands to create new resource definitions, update existing resource definitions, and delete existing resource definitions. If resource definitions were exported to the repository by the EXPORT DEFN command or an automatic export to the repository and they need to be modified, issue another EXPORT command after a CREATE or UPDATE command is issued in IMS. If you issued DELETE commands in IMS, issue the DELETE DEFN command to delete the resource definition from the repository for the IMS system.

To back out changes:

Procedure

  1. Cold start IMS with no MODBLKS resources defined (by specifying AUTOIMPORT=N in the Dynamic Resources section of the DFSDFxxx IMS PROCLIB member).
  2. Issue the IMPORT DEFN command to import all of the stored resource and descriptor definitions from the non-system RDDS or all of the resource and descriptor definitions for the IMS system from the repository.
After the backout is complete, if you are running with system RDDSs defined, issue the EXPORT DEFN TARGET(RDDS) command to export the current definitions to a system RDDS.
