Configuring the PowerExchange dbmover.cfg File on Windows

Before you add an IMS data map, update the dbmover.cfg file on Windows to provide access to the IMS source data.

Configuration settings depend on whether you access IMS by using DL/1 batch or IMS ODBA.

To configure the PowerExchange dbmover.cfg file on Windows:

Add a NODE statement to the dbmover.cfg file to access the remote IMS system, as follows:

To use DL/1 batch or BMP to access IMS, add a NODE statement that points to the netport port for the PowerExchange Listener on z/OS. The format is:

NODE=(location_name,TCPIP,[hostname_or_IPaddress],port_number)

To use IMS ODBA to access IMS, add a NODE statement that points to the PowerExchange Listener port on z/OS. The format is:

NODE=(location_name,TCPIP,[hostname_or_IPaddress],port_number)

Restart the PowerExchange Listener to implement the configuration changes.

You do not need to start the PowerExchange Listener on Windows to access the IMS data.
