Service Parameters for IMS Option (Remote IMS)

An example of the RIMS configuration:

<!-- Sample IMS servers - multiple servers may be defined -->                                                        
<RIMS        ID="IMSA" LUNAME="IMSSYSA" MODENAME="IBMRDB"    
             TPNAME="MFDBTP6" SYNCLEVEL="0" SECURITY="0"     
/>                                                           
                                                             
<RIMS        ID="DEFAULT" LUNAME="IMSTEST" MODENAME="IBMRDB" 
             TPNAME="MFDBTP6" SYNCLEVEL="0" SECURITY="0"     
/>

Use the following parameters to configure RIMS:

ID
If an IMS Option client request does not specify a target server ID or the specified target server ID does not exist, Mainframe Access selects the DEFAULT IMS target server, if one has been defined. This IMS target server ID name is used in the configuration of the client. When a Remote IMS request is sent this name is sent in the request data and is used to locate the target server definition for the IMS system that will receive the request. Specify DEFAULT or an ID of up to four alphanumeric characters.
LUNAME
The LU name of the IMS server (also known as the ACBNAME or VTAM APPLID). Specify an LU name of up to eight characters. This name must match the ACBNAME defined in an APPC/MVS LU definition for the target IMS system.
MODENAME
The SNA log mode name that will be used by Mainframe Access to indirectly specify SNA session parameters when Mainframe Access initiates sessions with the IMS server.
TPNAME
The IMS server transaction program name for IMS Option transactions.
SYNCLEVEL
The SNA LU6.2 sync level option to be used on conversations with the IMS server. Specify 0.
SECURITY
The security level to be indicated in SNA LU6.2 Attach FMH-5 requests sent to the IMS server.
