Updating MODBLKS resource and descriptor definitions in the IMSRSC repository for multiple IMS systems with the same set of definitions

You can update MODBLKS resource and descriptor definitions in the IMSRSC repository for multiple IMS systems with the same set of definitions.

Procedure

  1. Update the resource and descriptor definitions in the IMS system by using the type-1 or type-2 DRD commands.
    You can update descriptors only with the type-2 UPDATE command.
  2. Export the resource and descriptor definitions from an IMS to the repository by using the EXPORT DEFN TARGET(REPO) command.
    You must route the command to the IMS system from which you want to export the definitions and descriptors, by using the ROUTE keyword on the OM API. The imsidlist is the list of IMS IDs of one or more IMS systems in the IMSplex to which the changes are to be applied.

    You can specify the EXPORT DEFN TARGET(REPO) command with the keywords OPTION(CHANGESONLY) SET(IMSID(imsidlist)) to export resource and descriptor definitions that were created or modified since they were last exported to the repository. Optionally you can use the EXPORT DEFN TARGET(REPO) command with a list of resource names and resource types specified, or use the EXPORT DEFN TARGET(REPO) command with the STARTTIME and ENDTIME keywords.
