Configuration requirements for altering an online HALDB database

Before you can alter an online HALDB database, your IMS system must meet a few configuration requirements.

The IMS system must be configured with the Operations Manager (OM) and Structure Call Interface (SCI) components of the IMS Common Service Layer (CSL) to enable a type-2 command environment. A HALDB alter operation can be initiated only by the type-2 command INITIATE OLREORG NAME(haldbmaster) OPTION(ALTER).

The MINVERS value of the RECON data set must be set to a version of IMS that supports altering an online HALDB database. Consequently, a RECON data set that supports an IMS system that uses the HALDB alter function cannot be shared by versions of IMS that do not support the HALDB alter function.
