Understanding CPC components
The following table lists the CPC components of the BCSS subsystem:
Component | Description |
|---|---|
Console | The console is the graphical user interface (GUI). The console runs on a client workstation under the Microsoft Windows operating system and communicates with the UIM server through TCP/IP technology. |
UIM server | The UIM server resides on the mainframe and handles communication between the console and BMC console-enabled mainframe products and features. |
ADV server | The ADV server is the product server for various console-enabled functions and features. The products use the ADV server to communicate with the UIM server, ADV repositories, IMS subsystems, and IMS databases. |
ADV repositories | The ADV repositories are VSAM data sets. The ADV repositories store information for various console-enabled functions and features. |
BCSS/CPC subsystem | The BCSS subsystem manages APF-authorized functions and performs processing for intercepted operating system requests. If CPC was installed with BCSS, console-enabled BMC products for IMS can share a BCSS with other BMC products. Always use the latest version of the BCSS subsystem. To determine whether an earlier version of BCSS is installed on your system, use the BCSCHECK program. For more information about the BCSCHECK program, see the BMC Software Subsystem User Guide. BMC recommends that the BCSS/CPC subsystem always remain active. However, you must terminate a subsystem to install maintenance modules for that subsystem. |
IMS subsystems | Console-enabled BMC products for IMS retrieve information about active IMS subsystems and the databases that are defined to the IMS subsystems. The information is used by the products during processing. |
