Database Management

Serena XML supports database development and administration with both the IMS Option and the DB2 Option of ChangeMan ZMF. User tasks are grouped by database environment:

  • IMS Development and Administration — Tasks that support IMS data binding or retrieve IMS database override settings at the package, application, or global level. The typical command for general use is list.

  • DB2 Development and Administration — Tasks that support DB2 data binding or retrieve DB2 database configuration settings at the application or global level. The typical command for general use is list.

The syntax that identifies these functions generally appears in the name attribute of the <service> tag, as follows:

<service name="IMSOVRD">
<service name="DB2ADMIN">

In addition, some package-level IMS functions are performed by the low-level package service, not the IMS Override service. The <service> tag for these functions takes the name attribute of "package". The syntax that identifies these as IMS functions appears in the name attribute of the <scope> tag. For example:

<scope name="IMS_CRGN">
<scope name="IMS_ACB">
