IMS Connect support for IMSplex and shared queues

IMS™ Connect can send and receive IMS Operations Manager (OM) commands and response string messages between a TCP/IP client and the OM in an IMSplex by using the IMS Structured Call Interface (SCI).

IMS Connect can send and receive IMS Operations Manager (OM) commands and response string messages between a TCP/IP client and the OM in an IMSplex by using the IMS Structured Call Interface (SCI). IBM® Management Console for IMS and Db2 for z/OS® is an IBM-provided client that uses this interface.

The following subsections provide detailed information about the environment requirements and how to set up IMS Connect to support OM.

  • IMS Connect support for IMSplex
    TheIMS Connect support for IMSplex enables access to an OM in an IMSplex fromIBM Management Console for IMS and Db2 for z/OS (Management Console) or other OM command client through TCP/IP.
  • IMSplex support environment
    IMS Connect requires that IMS, the CSL Operations Manager (OM), and the CSL Structured Call Interface (SCI) be running to communicate with OM.
  • Installing IMS Connect support for IMSplex
    The IMS Connect support for an IMSplex requires the CSL Operations Manager (OM), the CSL Structured Call Interface (SCI), and TCP/IP.
  • Retrieving ALTPCB output in a shared queues environment
    In a shared queues environment, to retrieve messages inserted to an ALTPCB output queue by IMS systems to which IMS Connect is not directly connected, use the OTMA super member function.
