Obtaining XCF group names for IMS Tools Base servers

You must obtain the XCF group names for the IMS Tools Base server groups to set up JCL streams, cataloged procedures, and site default options for IMS Fast Path Solution Pack tools.

XCF group name for the IMS Tools Knowledge Base servers

The XCF group name for the IMS Tools Knowledge Base servers must be specified in the JCL streams for IMS Fast Path Solution Pack tools to use one of the following services of IMS Tools Base directly from tools' jobs:
  • IMS Tools Knowledge Base report repository service
  • Policy Services
  • Autonomics Director
For example, specify the ITKBSRVR parameter on the GLOBAL control statement of IMS Fast Path Advanced Tool. You can set default values for the run time options by using the installation default option to make the specification applied to all the run of IMS Fast Path Advanced Tool jobs, without specifying them in each JCL stream.

XCF group name for the Autonomics Director servers

The XCF group name for the Autonomics Director servers must be specified in the JCL steams for IMS Fast Path Solution Pack tools to use the sensor data notification service from various database sensor functions of the tools.

For example, specify the ADXCFGRP parameter on the GLOBAL control statement of IMS Fast Path Advanced Tool. You can set default values for the run time options by using the installation default option to make the specification applied to all the run of IMS Fast Path Advanced Tool jobs, without specifying them in each JCL stream.

XCF group name for the IMS Tools Online System Interface server tasks

The XCF group name for the IMS Tools Online System Interface server tasks must be specified in the JCL streams for IMS Fast Path Solution Pack tools to issue IMS commands from the tools' jobs.

For example, specify the TOIXCFGR=grpname parameter in the GLOBAL control statement of the ICEIN input of the IMS HP Image Copy, where grpname is the 5-character XCF group name. You can set default values for the runtime options by using the site default table to make the specification applied to all the run of IMS HP Image Copy jobs, without specifying them in each JCL stream.
