Enabling the IMSRSC repository for MSC resources

You can enable the IMSRSC repository to store all MSC resource definitions in a single, centralized location for all members of an IMSplex. If you enable the IMSRSC repository for MSC resources, the MSC resources that are created and updated dynamically can be saved across an IMS cold start.

Before you enable the IMSRSC repository for MSC resource definitions, ensure that the IMSRSC repository is defined and enabled.

Procedure

  1. To enable the IMSRSC repository for dynamically defined MSC resources, specify MSCREPO=Y in the MSC section of the DFSDFxxx proclib member.
  2. Cold start IMS.

After you enable the IMSRSC repository for dynamically defined MSC resources, the online resources can be automatically exported to the IMSRSC repository at IMS checkpoint time and automatically imported from the IMSRSC repository into an IMS system at IMS cold start.
