To verify IMS connectivity

  1. On the BMC AMI Energizer for IMS Connect - Primary Menu, type 4.
  2. (Optional) If you know the IMS Connect started task name, TCP/IP host, or port information, you can enter that information on the BMC AMI Energizer for IMS Connect - Primary Menu.

  3. Press Enter.

    Select the IMS Connect to use by typing an S or a U, and press Enter.

    The Verify IMS Connectivity panel is displayed.

    • If you entered the IMS Connect information on the BMC AMI Energizer for IMS Connect - Primary Menu, the Verify IMS Connectivity panel is displayed. For information about this panel, see online Help.

  4. To update information on the panel, perform one of the following actions:
    • Type a new IMS Connect name, and press Enter.
    • Type the new value for any IRM Header or Energizer options fields and press Enter.

To send a transaction or IMS command without changing any other fields, type the message and press Enter.

The message is sent to IMS Connect, and the results are displayed on the Verify Browse panel.

Important

To allow multiple segments and messages on the message input lines, enter a single delimiter character in the Seg/msg delim field for delimiting segments. For example: to use ; as the delimiter, enter 'TEST;SEG1;SEG2;;/DIS A;;'

When you specify a delimiter, you can type a single segment that spans more than one line. If you do not type to the end of a line and do not end the line with a delimiter, a single blank is inserted between the lines.

If you do not specify a delimiter, use the following rules to divide the input lines into messages and segments:

  • Each line is a separate segment.
  • Any line that starts with a slash (/) or hyphen (-) begins a new message.
  • Any line that ends with a period (.) ends a message.

Prompt datastore list is empty when Energizer routing is inactive. Refer valid datastore name from PROCLIB HWS configuration member.
