Installing the BMP for the IMS Command Entry feature

If you plan to run multiple Image Copy utility jobs concurrently, you must define multiple transactions for the AOI. Only one job at a time can use a transaction; any others that attempt to use the same transaction will abend. The job uses the transaction specified with the TRAN keyword specified during customization.

To install the BMP for the IMS Command Entry feature, perform the following steps:

1. Run a PSB and ACB generation. Use member ICPPSB of the sample library as a model PSB for the generation:

       PSBGEN PSBNAME=DBU$IMS,LANG=COBOL,IOASIZE=512
       END

2. Define the PSB and transaction code to your IMS/DC system and modify your IMS system security. Use member ICPSTG1 of the sample library as a model for the PSB and transaction code definition. You can change the variables DBU$IMS and ICPTRAN to any valid name.

   APPLCTN  PSB=DBU$IMS,                          X
            SCHDTYP=PARALLEL,                                           X
            PGMTYPE=(BATCH)
      TRANSACT CODE=ICPTRAN,                         X
            MSGTYPE=(SNGLSEG,NONRESPONSE),                              X
            MODE=SNGL

3. Use member ICPTCMD of the sample library as a model for the security modification:

       )( CTRANS ICPTRAN
          TCOMMAND *

   If you have the BMC DELTA IMS DB/DC or DELTA IMS VIRTUAL TERMINAL product, you can use its PSB, transaction, and security profile as a prototype for generating the PSB, transaction, and security for the BMP. You can also use DELTA IMS to do the generation. See DELTA IMS or DELTA IMS VIRTUAL TERMINAL documentation for instructions.
