Installing IMS Connect support for IMSplex

The IMS Connect support for an IMSplex requires the CSL Operations Manager (OM), the CSL Structured Call Interface (SCI), and TCP/IP.

IMS must be installed to use the IMS Connect IMSplex support. Ensure that the IMS.SDFSRESL data set has been added to the STEPLIB to enable access to SCI for IMS Connect IMSplex support.

OM requires the appropriate IMSplex component (IMS, IMS Connect, RM, or ODBM) to be running to provide the OM command capability. IMS Connect IMSplex support does not require these components to be running. However, if these components are not running, none of the commands can be processed.

Install or modify the following components of the IMS Connect support for IMSplex in the following order:

Procedure

  1. The IMS Connect configuration file:
    1. Add the IMSplex statement.
    2. Add the HWSCSLO0 exit to the TCPIP statement EXIT= parameter.
  2. The BPE configuration file:
    1. Add OMDR and HWSO statements, if the IMS Connect trace entries are listed separately.
  3. The OM command client:
    1. Identify the IMS Connect HWS ID= value.
    2. Identify the IMS Connect IMSPLEX tmember= value.

When installation is complete, start the following features in order:

  1. Start SCI.
  2. Start OM.
  3. If you are using RM, start RM.
  4. Start IMS.

You can start IMS Connect before, during, or after the steps listed above. IMS Connect attempts to connect to SCI for 30 minutes. If SCI is not brought up or the connection attempt fails, you must issue an OPENIP imsplex_name command.

The following IMS Connect commands are enabled by IMSplex support:

  • STOPIP
  • OPENIP
  • VIEWIP
