Setting IMSID options when installing DELTA PLUS or DELTA PLUS VIRTUAL TERMINAL.
This section describes the procedures for setting IMSID options.
You should set IMSID options if you are performing an initial installation of DELTA PLUS or DELTA PLUS VIRTUAL TERMINAL.
You must create IMSID basic options for each control region that the products service. For more information, see To set IMSID options.
For the products to access an IMS system, you must define the system to the products with a set of IMSID options. When you create or change IMSID options, the load module DLP#iiii (where iiii is the IMSID) is link-edited to your product options library.
You can create a new IMSID by using the product defaults or by copying the options for a new IMSID from an existing IMSID. For more information, see To create a new IMSID.
DELTA PLUS VIRTUAL TERMINAL includes IMSID options that are not available with DELTA PLUS. For additional IMSID options that you can set for DELTA PLUS VIRTUAL TERMINAL, see Setting-virtual-terminal-IMSID-options.
To create a new IMSID
- Invoke the online interface through the modified ISPF/PDF Primary Option Menu that you created in Accessing-the-products-from-an-ISPF-options-menu or through the CLIST that you created in Accessing-the-products-from-a-CLIST.The Main Menu is displayed.
- Type 4 in the selection field and press Enter.The Administration Menu is displayed.
