Common Service Layer (CSL)
The topics included in this information provide information about the CSL.
- Writing a CSL client
These topics describe the considerations for writing a CSL client. This information is for the programmer who writes the client, but also for the CSL administrator or IMS™ system programmer who must be aware of the issues involved in designing and writing a CSL client. - CSL automated operator program requests
Certain CSL requests can be used by AOP clients such as TSO SPOC in order to automate some of your operator programs. The following topics describe these requests in detail. - Writing a CSL ODBM client
You can write your own ODBM clients that register with Open Database Manager (ODBM) and use the CSLDMI interface to pass DL/I calls to databases that are managed by IMS DB in DBCTL and DB/TM systems within an IMSplex. - Writing a CSL OM client
These topics describe the client requests and directives for writing an OM client. - Writing a CSL RM client
The topics in this section describe the client requests and directives for writing an RM client. - Writing a CSL SCI client
You must establish a connection to SCI (Structured Call Interface) in order to write a program that participates in an IMSplex (such as an AOP) and allows your IMSplex member to communicate with other IMSplex members. Without a connection to SCI, a program cannot participate in an IMSplex and communicate with other IMSplex members. - CSL Operations Manager XML output
Command responses that are returned through the OM API are embedded in XML tags using codepage 037. XML output is generated for responses to the CSLOMI, CSLOMCMD, and CSLOMQRY requests. - REXX SPOC API and the CSL
The REXX SPOC API allows REXX programs to submit commands to OM and to retrieve the command responses.
