Term

Definition

eLink

Energizer address space that provides the communication link between the MVS operator console and the IMS Connects.

You can use the eLink to change the environment and obtain system-related information.

Warning

Important

  • You must use an eLink when entering Energizer commands from an IBM z/OS operator console.
  • You can run Energizer for IMS without using an eLink address space. You do not need an eLink or eLink started task to use the ISPF or console interfaces.
  • You can run Energizer without running an eLink address space, by adding a host name and port number to the options for each IMS Connect.

eGroup

Unique grouping of IMS Connects that use the same load balancing method

WorkLoad Governor

Controls the number of messages passing through individual IMS Connects

DataStore Router

Directs a message to the datastore that is best equipped to process it

DataStore Router uses the following components to route transactions:

  • Affinity Manager ensures that messages that have unique processing characteristics are sent to the correct datastore.
  • Load Balancer routes messages based upon weights defined within the load balancing method that you selected.
  • Resource Status Checker verifies that the datastore is active before routing a transaction to it.

Exit Services

Enhances IMS Connect functionality, such as dynamically add and reload exits and processing options, define security, and create and maintain exits without coding in assembler language
