IMS Option Worksheets

These worksheets will help you gather the needed information.

IMS Support Administration Worksheet 1

Use this worksheet to complete Part 1 of the Global Definition panels.

In the following table, supply the information required. The IMS ID is usually assigned by an IMS systems programmer when the IMS control region is created.

IMSID **Site Logical Site **Active? DEVCHAR Suffix DBDGEN PSBGEN ACB

...

IMS Support Administration Worksheet 2

Use to complete the IMS System Library Global Declaration panels. Complete a Worksheet 2 for each entry in Worksheet 1.

Hi-level Node Bkup IMSGEN Macro Def. Member Name
(The Hi-level node is a pattern for backups of the IMS system libraries during promotion and installation.) (This is the IMS system generation data set containing the system generation member name.) (This is the member that contains the source code that generated the IMS control region, databases, programs, and so on.)

For certain types of PSBs and DBDs, parsing source alone is not sufficient to determine if an ACB GEN is required. To completely determine if an ACB GEN is required, the IMSGEN Macro definition and member name must be analyzed. Because ChangeMan ZMF determines this requirement during Stage, the IMSGEN data set name entered here must be available on the development site.

...

The IMS subtypes must be one of the subtypes listed in the following table.

Like “S” (Source) Type Target Type
A - ACB Control C - ACB
D - DBD Source B - DBD
M - MFS Source F - MFS Format (if the Referal library is not used)
M - MFS Source R - MFS Referal (if the Referal library is used)
P - PSB Source S - PSB
R - MFS Referal F - MFS Format (if the Referal library is used)

...

Any like L (Load) library requires additional processing by the AUDIT program and, as a result, causes the audit process to take longer to execute. Serena suggests that you use only like L (Load) for program load libraries.

IMS Support Administration Worksheet 4

In the following table, associate a compile procedure with each IMS global language name.

Language Procedure
DBD CMNDBDGN
