Enabling IMS-managed ACBs

This topic describes the BMC AMI Recovery Manager for IMS (IRM) functions that IMS-managed ACBs affect and how to enable ACBs for both the ISPF interface and batch processing in IRM.

Areas affected by IMS-managed ACBs

When you enable IMS-managed ACBs, the following IRM functions are affected and might require validation or updates:

• Building a group via the ISPF UI
• Building a group in batch via (IRMBGPMN)
• Validating or rebuilding group function
• Recovery JCL generation

To enable IMS-managed ACBs

1. Update the BMCIRM CLIST:
   • Replace the existing version of the BMCIRM CLIST with the new version in the SAMP library delivered through PTF BQQ7539.
   • Modify the CLIST in accordance with your site requirements.

2. Start the IRM started task.

3.  Run the IRM UI CLIST by specifying an IMS V15 RESLIB.

4. On the IRM Primary Menu panel, select option 3.
5. On the IRMOP00 panel, select option 2 (IMS or sharegroup).
6. Locate the record associated with the active RMGR by entering S in the Action column for the record for which YES is displayed under Associated with this RMGR.
7. On the IRMSM00 panel, press Enter.
8. On the IRMLB00 (MDALIB) panel, press Enter.

   1. (Optional) Remove the DBDLIBs (Database Definition (DBD) libraries).
   2. Press Enter.
10. On the IRMLB00 (PSBLIB) panel:

To enable managed-ACBs support during a batch group build (IRMBGPMN)

2. Submit the job.
3. After the job starts, verify enablement by checking the JESMSGLG log for the following message:
