Use the IBM® Z Database Assistant command
processor to run and work with IMS
type 1 and type 2 commands.
About this task
If you find problems or just want to get more information about an IMSplex or database, you
can use the Command processor to run commands. Using the IBM Z Database Assistant can be a more convenient interface to run
commands than accessing a terminal or using TSO SPOC.
Procedure
To run IMS commands:
- From the side navigation panel, select the IMS system that you want to work with and
click the Command processor tab.
- Enter a IMS command in
the input field and click Run. The command is validated automatically.
The output of the command is displayed in the Command results section of
the view.
Tip: Ask the Assistant about IMS commands and how to enter them. You can run commands to get
information from connected systems, such as /DISPLAY or QUERY.
You cannot run commands that create, update, or delete database objects.
- Usage notes:
-
- The Command editor retains the history for the last 10 commands that were
issued during a session. This history persists only during the current login session.
- After you run your first command, the output from running subsequent commands is appended to the
Command results section.
- Use the Clear and run action to run the current command, clear the
Command results section, and display the output from that command in the
Command results section.
- You can delete a single command by clicking the trash can icon for that command, or you can
delete all commands by clicking Clear all recent commands.
- You can copy the results by clicking the copy icon.
