Support for IMS Managed ACBs Key:

  • NA = Not Applicable
    The product does not have function that is impacted by Managed ACBs.
     
  • NS = Not Supported
    The product does not support Managed ACBs. 
     
  • SP = Support Pending
    The product does not yet support Managed ACBs, but will in the future. This page is updated when the PTFs are available.
     
  • S = Supported
    The product supports Managed ACBs and any required PTFs are listed.
     

    Support for IMS Managed ACBs means you can configure the product to either:

      or

    • Use the IMS catalog and the IMS directory.

      The product listed uses the data source you specify in the product configuration.

NOTE: If a prior release of a product is not listed in the matrix, it does not support Managed ACBs.
