Milestone 15: Enabling COPE logical system support

If your site is not using—and does not plan to use—Xchange's COPE Logical System support, you may skip this milestone and continue with Milestone-16-Deployment.

This milestone configures Xchange to support the IMS Logical Systems created by BMC's COPE product. 

The roles involved are: Xchange Installer.

Task 15.1: Enable COPE logical system support

With Xchange's COPE Logical System support, you can exchange the date and time for IMS Message Processing Programs (MPPs), including Wait for Input (WFI) transactions, Interactive Fast Path (IFP) programs, and Batch Message Processing (BMP) regions at the COPE Logical System level.

Warning

If an individual Xchange request is entered on the primary Simulated Date Time Settings figure for a job that happens to run in a COPE Logical System for which there is an active COPE Logical System request, the date/time fields from the individual request will be used instead of the COPE Logical System figure's date/time fields. This is because specific individual requests always take precedence over COPE Logical System requests.


  1. To enable COPE Logical System support for IMS DC, copy the following modules from COPE.LOAD to your COPE RESLIB that resides in the STEPLIB concatenation of all COPE message processing regions in which date and time exchanges are to be performed:
    • COPEGLSY
    • COPETRA
  2. Recycle the affected message processing regions.
  3. To enable COPE Logical System support for IMS DB, copy the following modules from COPE.LOAD to your COPE RESLIB that resides in the STEPLIB concatenation of your batch jobs in which date and time exchanges are to be performed:
    • COPEGLSY
    • COPETRA

  4. Add a COPEBSYS DD to your batch jobs to identify the Logical System to Xchange as follows:

    //COPEBSYS DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,1),DSN=&&<lsys>

  5. where lsys is a value specified on an Xchange COPELSYS parameter.

    Important

    Do not identify the Logical System in the second positional JOB card parameter or in place of the IMSID in the PARM field of the DFSRRC00 program.
