Starting the BMC AMI Datastream for IMS server and customizing the server JCL

You can start the BMC AMI Datastream for IMS server by using the z/OS START command. The JCL for the server is present in the system PROCLIB.

The sample JCL is located in .AFICNTL(AFI#BJCL) and is similar to the following example:

//AFIHUB   PROC   
//AFIHUB   EXEC PGM=AFICTL00,REGION=40M,               <== MODIFY  
//              PARM='AFIS',MEMLIMIT=4G                <== MODIFY  
//STEPLIB   DD  DSN=BMCNODE.AFILIB,DISP=SHR            <== MODIFY  
//          DD  DSN=BMCNODE.AFI.OPTIONS,DISP=SHR       <== MODIFY  
//          DD  DSN=BMCNODE.XXLINK,DISP=SHR            <== MODIFY  
//*                                                                
//*DBFILTER DD  DSN=BMCNODE.AFISAMP(DBFILTER),DISP=SHR <== MODIFY  
//*                                                                                                                  
//BMCPSWD   DD  DSN=YOUR.BMCPSWD.LOAD,DISP=SHR         <== MODIFY  
//*SYSIN    DD  DSN=BMCNODE.AFISAMP(CZAINTXI),DISP=SHR <== MODIFY  
//*CZAILOGD DD  DSN=BMCNODE.AFISAMP(CZAILOGD),DISP=SHR <== MODIFY   
//SYSPRINT  DD  SYSOUT=*           

Customizing the server JCL

Use the following procedure to customize the BMC AMI Datastream for IMS server JCL :

  1. Change the PARM reference 'AFIS' to the name you choose for your Server ID. The maximum length of the server ID is four characters. (See Creating-server-options-using-the-ISPF-interface).
  2. Change all the BMCNODE prefixes to the installation library prefix. (The STEPLIB DD must be APF authorized).
  3. Ensure that The STEPLIB DD contains the BMC AMI Datastream for IMS load library.
  4. Ensure that the STEPLIB DD contains the XXLINK load library or a combined runtime of AFILIB/XXLINK.
  5. Optionally, to enable the F8 log record generation (database change Capture – F803, F804, F805) uncomment the //DBFILTER DD and set the criteria to generate the F8 log records. (Contact BMC Support to assist with enabling this feature for the generation of the F8 log records in IMS).
  6. Optionally, to enable the sending of records to BMC AMI DataStream for Z/OS server, uncomment the SYSIN and CZAILOGD DD statements and modify members as documented in Setting-up-an-interface-with-BMC-AMI-Datastream-for-z-OS.
  7. Also make sure that the Send records to BMC AMI Datastream for z/OS subsystem option is selected and is properly set in the BMC AMI Datastream for IMS server options.
