Setting Up and Testing Connectivity to an IMS Source or Target

To access an IMS data source or target on a remote z/OS system, PowerExchange must be able to communicate with the PowerExchange Listener on the remote system. Use the following procedure to configure and test connectivity to the remote PowerExchange Listener.

To set up and test connectivity to an IMS source or target:

On the systems where the PowerExchange Navigator, PowerCenter Client, and PowerCenter Integration Service run, use the ping
command to test network access to the remote z/OS system.

Add the NODE statement to the dbmover.cfg file on each PowerExchange and PowerCenter system to identify the remote node where the IMS source or target is located. Use the following syntax:

NODE=(node_name,TCPIP,ipaddress_or_hostname,port_number)

If you plan to use a DL/1 Batch data map, this statement points to the z/OS system where the batch netport job for the bulk data movement will run.

If you plan to use an IMS ODBA data map, this statement points to the z/OS system where the remote PowerExchange Listener runs.

To determine the port number, consult with the person in your organization who installed the PowerExchange Listener on the remote system.

Run the DTLREXE utility on the local PowerExchange system to test connectivity to the remote PowerExchange Listener that you defined in the NODE statement.
