Connecting the IMS attachment facility

Connecting DB2® to IMS™ requires coordination with your company's group that supports IMS systems.

Procedure

To connect the IMS attachment facility:

Make DB2 load modules available to IMS.
Define DB2 to IMS.
Define new programs and transactions to IMS.
Depending on your site, you might also need to:
- Define DB2 plans for IMS applications.
- Generate a user language interface.

What to do next

An IMS system definition might be required to complete the steps to connect DB2 to IMS. If RACF® is installed, you also need to define the IMS-to-DB2 connection to RACF.
