Configuring Management Console for IMSplex management

Create a connection to your IMS Connect by adding an IMS Connect component and specifying the IMSplex name to begin accessing and managing your IMSplex.

Before you begin

You must have an IMSplex with the following address spaces:

IMS Connect: IMS Connect must be accessible to the Management Console server via HTTP or HTTPS communication.; The IMS Connect OM command HWSCSLO1 exit routine must be configured.
IMS Operations Manager: Operations Manager is required to query, start, and stop resources in an IMSplex by using type-2 commands.
IMS control region: Your IMS control region can be a DBCTL, DCCTL, or DBDC region.; Tip: Based on the connection definition, Management Console later issues calls to discover the resources to build the IMS resource view. IMS could be started, or a new IMS control region could be added later. Management Console will discover these resources when it builds the resource view.

About this task

After a connection to IMS Connect is created, you can view the status for various resources, start and stop the communication with most of these resources, update programs, transactions, databases and routing codes, and issue IMS commands that are supported by the Operations Manager API.
