Compatibility with BMC Software Products

Compatibility with BMC Software Products

The IMS synchronous ECCR requires components from the BMC Software BMC AMI Online Reorg for IMS, BMC AMI Database Integrity for IMS, and BMC AMI Fast Path Online Restructure for IMS products.
The components used by the ECCR are part of BMC products which have changed names over time. Some of former product names were CHANGE RECORDING FACILITY, CONCURRENT REORG, BMC MAXM Reorg/Online for IMS, DATABASE INTEGRITY PLUS, and Fast Path Online Restructure/EP.
If you have one of these BMC Software products, use the BMC tools loadlib instead of the PowerExchange
hlq
.CRG.LOAD library.
If you have BMC Software BMC AMI Online Reorg for IMS, BMC AMI Database Integrity for IMS, or BMC AMI Fast Path Online Restructure for IMS, verify that it meets the minimum version requirements for IMS synchronous CDC. The following table shows the minimum version by BMC product and IMS version:
BMC Software Product
Minimum Version That PowerExchange Requires
BMC AMI Online Reorg for IMS
  • 5.1.00 Level 2401 with BMC PTFs BQQ6601 and BQQ6695 for IMS Version 15 or greater
BMC AMI Database Integrity for IMS
  • 5.1.00 Level 2401 with BMC PTFs BQQ6601 and BQQ6695 for IMS Version 15 or greater
BMC AMI Fast Path Online Restructure
  • 4.1.00 Level 2307 with BMC PTF BQQ6106 for IMS Versions greater than Version 15.2
The BMC product versions with which PowerExchange is certified might differ from the specified minimum versions. The current PowerExchange version has been certified with the following BMC product versions, which provide the CRG code delivered with PowerExchange:
  • BMC AMI Database Integrity for IMS: Version 5.1.00 Level 2307 plus BMC fixes BQQ6601 and BQQ6695
  • BMC AMI Fast Path Online Restructure for IMS: Version 4.1.00 Level 2307 plus BMC fixes BQQ6601 and BQQ6695
If you use a product version earlier than the certified version, consider upgrading the product to the certified version.
If you do not know the version of the BMC product that is installed, browse the BMC load library and select the CRGLEVEL and DBILEVEL load modules. The version information is on the last line, after the date. If you need assistance, call BMC Software Technical Support.
Based on whether your BMC Software product meets the minimum version requirement, complete one of the following actions:
  • If the BMC Software product meets the minimum version requirement, use its BMC Software load libraries instead of the PowerExchange
    hlq
    .CRG.LOAD library.
  • If the BMC Software product version is earlier than the minimum required version, upgrade the product before you configure IMS synchronous ECCR JCL and activate the ECCR.
