Optional: set the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS classpath for applications that use a type-2 IMS Universal Database resource adapter

Your application can include the IMS database metadata class (the DLIDatabaseView subclass that is generated by the IMS Enterprise Suite Explorer for Development) or the metadata class can be stored elsewhere.

If your application does not include the metadata class, you must set the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS classpath to point to the IMS database metadata class that is used by the application.

One way to set the classpath is to add these files to the classpath of your IMS Universal Database resource adapter.

To add the required files to the classpath of an IMS Universal Database resource adapter:

Procedure

  1. From the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS administrative console, click Resources > Resource Adapters.
    A list of resource adapters is displayed.
  2. Click the name of your IMS Universal Database resource adapter.
    A configuration dialog is displayed.
  3. In the class path text box, add the location of the metadata class.
  4. Click OK.
  5. In the messages box, click Save.
    The save page is displayed.
  6. Click Save to update the master repository with your changes.
