Configuration Tasks for Using the IMS Catalog

Configuration Tasks for Using the IMS Catalog

You can configure PowerExchange to get DBD metadata for source objects from the IMS catalog.
To use the IMS catalog, perform the following configuration tasks:
  1. Allocate a partitioned data set extended (PDSE) to hold output from the IMS Catalog Library Builder Utility, DFS3LU00. For more information, see Allocate a PDSE for the IMS Catalog Builder Utility Output.
  2. Customize the PowerExchange Listener JCL or PROC to specify the DD statements required for IMS catalog use. For more information, see Customize the PowerExchange Listener JCL for IMS Catalog Use.
  3. In the DBMOVER configuration member on the PowerExchange Listener machine, define the following required statements:
    • IMSID. You must specify an
      ims_ssid
       value that matches the
      ims_ssid
       in the IMSBSDS statement.
    • IMSBSDS. Make sure the
      ims_ssid
       in this statement matches the
      ims_ssid
       in the IMSID statement.
    • LU00FILE. Enter the name of the PDSE that you created to store DBD output from the IMS Catalog Library Builder Utility, DFS3LU00.
    For more information, see "DBMOVER Configuration File" in the
    PowerExchange Reference Manual
    .
  4. When you add data maps for IMS source objects in the PowerExchange Navigator, be sure to configure the following fields:
    • On the
      Name
       page, select
      Import Record Definitions
      .
    • On the
      DL/1 Batch Access Method
       page, enter an IMS SSID value that matches the
      ims_ssid
       value that you specified in the IMSBSDS statement in the DBMOVER configuration file.
    • On the
      Import Copybook - Source Details
       page, select
      Remote
       under
      Source
       and select
      DBD
       in the
      Type
       field.
    • On the
      Import Copybook - Remote DBD Details
       page, in the
      File Name
       field, enter the name of a PDS along with the DBD member name that you want to look for in the IMS catalog.
    If the DBD source information in the IMS catalog defines a field with an EXTERNALNAME value but no NAME value, for example,
    FIELD EXTERNALNAME=
    external_name
    , the PowerExchange Navigator uses the EXTERNALNAME value as the field name in the data map record. This field name will not appear in the
    Search Fields
     list for the record and cannot be used in the Segment Search Arguments (SSAs) that PowerExchange creates.
