Starting the interface

When the OMEGAMON® for IMS interface starts, it runs a series of commands that are in member KOImpP00 in the rhilev.RKANPAR library, where mp is the MPREFIX specified during startup. By default, the commands are in member KOIM0P00.

Note: IBM supplies a default series of commands with OMEGAMON for IMS. The commands in KOImpP00 and the members that they might execute are also based on your PARMGEN configuration. You can tailor the commands for your installation.

When the interface starts, it establishes the internal ID. Then, the first command that it issues is the command to execute the startup member, KOImpP00.

EXEC KOImpP00

The startup member is processed automatically, but only during the initial startup.

The OMEGAMON for IMS interface performs all of the actions that are defined in KOImpP00. When those actions complete, you can then issue more interface commands to the internal ID by using the z/OS® MODIFY command.

MODIFY command example

This example shows the use of the z/OS MODIFY command to start a dedicated session. In the example, the internal ID assigned to the interface was M0IMSA.
