AR/CTL products
BMC offers the following AR/CTL products to meet the needs of application programs that execute in the z/OS system environment:
AR/CTL for IMS
AR/CTL for IMS works independently in application programs that use IMS databases only, sequential files only, or both. AR/CTL for IMS works with AR/CTL for VSAM in programs that use IMS databases and VSAM data sets. These programs can also use sequential files.
AR/CTL for IMS works with AR/CTL for DB2 in programs that use DB2 tables, IMS databases, and DB2 oriented services of AR/CTL (explained later in this section) in an IMS environment. These programs can also use sequential files. However, AR/CTL for IMS can work alone with programs that use DB2 tables and IMS databases but do not use DB2 oriented services of AR/CTL.
AR/CTL for DB2
AR/CTL for DB2 works independently in application programs that use DB2 tables only, sequential files only, or both. AR/CTL for DB2 works with AR/CTL for VSAM in programs that use DB2 tables and VSAM data sets. These programs can also use sequential files.
AR/CTL for DB2 works with AR/CTL for IMS in programs that use DB2 tables, IMS databases, and DB2 oriented services of AR/CTL in an IMS environment. These programs can also use sequential files.
AR/CTL for VSAM
AR/CTL for VSAM works independently in application programs that use VSAM data sets only, sequential files only, or both. AR/CTL for VSAM works with AR/CTL for DB2 and AR/CTL for IMS in any program that uses VSAM data sets. These programs can also use sequential files.
The AR/CTL products work separately or together to provide services for application programs that use the following types of data structures:
- Sequential files, using queued sequential access method (QSAM)
- IBM DB2 tables
- IBM IMS full-function, Fast Path, and/or GSAM databases
- Virtual storage access method (VSAM) data sets
- Any combinations of these data structures
This section contains the following topics:
- BMC subsystems
- REGISET

- Enhanced processing
- Application supervisor and product execution modules
- ISPF interface components
- History data sets
- VSAM file control table data set
- AR/CTL Install System and IVPs
- Product authorization
- AR/CTL security
