Working with TCO Functions

The master terminal functions provide a fullscreen panel interface to perform Time Controlled Operations (TCO) functions.

Select option 9, TCO Management, to display the IMS TCO Status panel, as shown in Figure 1.
Note: Use the new IMS Automation command INGIMS to achieve the same functionality: for example, INGIMS resource REQ=TCO

The Time Controlled Operations (TCO) interface lets you issue TCO commands from the IMS Automation interface.

From this panel you can:

  • Load a specific member
  • Start or stop TCO processing for a logical terminal
