IMS Database Repair Facility - Setting up IMS environment

Select option 1. Set up IMS environment in the Main menu and press Enter.

In the Set up IMS system ID panel, specify an IMS system ID in the Add new IMS system ID field. If the IMS system ID that you want to work with is already defined, select the IMS system ID by entering an S in the input field that corresponds to that IMS system ID. Then, press Enter.

Tip: You can also delete an IMS system ID by entering a D in the input field that corresponds to the IMS system ID that you want to remove from this panel. You can delete multiple IMS system IDs at once.

In the Setup- Select environment panel, supply information whether the IMS management of ACBs is enabled or not in the selected IMS system environment. If the IMS management of ACBs is enabled in the IMS system, enter Y. If the IMS management of ACBs is not enabled or if you want to use DBD and ACB libraries with IMS Database Repair Facility, enter N.

Provide the library information in the following fields:

Copy libraries from ID: If an IMS system ID is already defined and you want to use the same libraries or some of the libraries that are defined to that IMS system ID, specify the IMS system ID in this field and then press Enter. The fields are populated with the libraries that are defined to the specified IMS system ID. If necessary, update the populated library names.
IMS RESLIB: Specify the name of the IMS RESLIB.
Randomizer library: Specify the name of the library that contains the randomizing modules.
If you leave the field blank and press Enter, the library name that is specified in the IMS RESLIB field is populated in this field.
Part. Selection exit library: Specify the name of the library that contains the HALDB partition selection exit routine.
DBD library: Specify the name of the DBD library. Specify this field only if the IMS management of ACBs is not enabled.
IMS bootstrap data set HLQ: Specify the high-level qualifier of the IMS bootstrap data set (BSDS), which is one of the system data sets of the IMS catalog. Specify this field only if the IMS management of ACBs is enabled.
IMS Tools Base library (SGLXLOAD): Specify the SGLXLOAD library of IMS Tools Base. Specify this field only if the IMS management of ACBs is enabled.
Dynamic allocate library: If your database data set names are stored in a dynamic allocation library, enter the name of the library.
This field is optional, but if left blank for a non-partitioned database or a DEDB, you must later supply the name of the dynamic allocate library or a list of database data set names in the Update libraries panel.
ACB library: If you want to modify a Fast Path DEDB and want to view the segment by key, specify the name of the ACB library that contains the DBD definition. Specify this field only if the IMS management of ACBs is not enabled.
The DBD must be defined in the DBDLIB and the ACBLIB. Specify the ACB library only if you plan to modify a Fast Path DEDB.
DYNLIB for RECONs: If RECON dynamic allocation members are not in the RESLIB or the dynamic allocation library, specify the library where they can be found.
RECON data set names: Specify the RECON data set names.
If you leave the fields blank and press Enter, IMS Database Repair Facility generates RECON data set names based on the dynamic allocation members that are found in RESLIB or DYNLIB. You can accept or modify the displayed names. If none were found, the fields are blank and you must manually enter the names of the RECON data sets.

The library names that you specify on this panel initially become the defaults for the entire IMS Database Repair Facility. You can overwrite these defaults later on the Update libraries panel.

Press Enter. The Set up IMS system ID panel is displayed again. Press END (PF3) to return to the Main menu.
