Compatibility with BMC Software Products

Compatibility with BMC Software Products

The IMS synchronous ECCR requires components from the BMC Software CHANGE RECORDING FACILITY, BMC AMI Database Integrity for IMS (formerly called DATABASE INTEGRITY PLUS), and BMC AMI Fast Path Online Restructure for IMS (formerly calledFast Path Online Restructure/EP) products.
These components are also part of some other BMC Software products such as CONCURRENT REORG and BMC AMI Online Reorg for IMS (formerly called BMC MAXM Reorg/Online for IMS).
If you have one of these BMC Software products, use it instead of the PowerExchange
hlq
.CRG.LOAD library.
If you have BMC Software CHANGE RECORDING FACILITY, DATABASE INTEGRITY PLUS, or Fast Path Online Restructure/EP, 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
CHANGE RECORDING FACILITY
  • 4.9.00 Level 1302B, for IMS Version 13
  • 5.0.00 Level 1502B, for IMS Version 14
  • 5.1.00 Level 1907 with BMC PTF BQQ4590, for IMS Version 15
DATABASE INTEGRITY PLUS
  • 4.9.00 Level 1302B, for IMS Version 13
  • 5.0.00 Level 1502B, for IMS Version 14
  • 5.1.00 Level 1907 with BMC PTF BQQ4590, for IMS Version 15
Fast Path Online Restructure/EP
  • 3.11.00 Level 1302B, for IMS Version 13
  • 3.11.00 Level 1501B, for IMS Version 14
  • 4.1.00 Level 1907 with BMC PTF BQQ4590, for IMS Version 15
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:
  • CHANGE RECORDING FACILITY: Version 5.1.00 Level 2101
  • BMC AMI Database Integrity for IMS: Version 5.1.00 Level 2101
  • BMC AMI Fast Path Online Restructure for IMS: Version 4.1.00 Level 2101
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.
