Build Toolkit plug-in properties for IMS resources

This topic describes the properties expected by the File Manager Build Toolkit plug-in for IMS data resources.

Property Importance Description
name Required The name of the service. Must be unique across SAR files.
description Optional The description of the service. Recommended to help manage SAR files.
version Required The version of the service.
provider Required Must be filemanager.
ssid Required The IMS subsystem identifier.
database Required The name of the IMS database.
psbMember Optional The IMS Program Specification Block (PSB) member name. This is a member in the File Manager PSB data set concatenation. If psbMember is not specified File Manager will attempt to generate a dynamic PSB (if this is permitted). For a dynamic PSB, the pcbNumber and pcbName parameters are ignored.
pcbNumber Optional The Program Communication Block (PCB) number. This is the relative position of the PCB within the PSB member and must be numeric. The relevant PCB can be identified using pcbNumber or pcbName. The default is 1.
pcbName Optional Program Communication Block (PCB) name. This is the PCB label name within the PSB member. The relevant PCB can be identified using pcbNumber or pcbName.
regionType Required The IMS region type. Must be "BMP" or "DLI".
dataCcsid Optional CCSID of resource alphanumeric data in the database. Default is 037.
dbcsCcsid Optional CCSID of graphic or double-byte data. Default is 930.
viewName Required Name of a File Manager/IMS view. Example: MVS.DATASET(MYVIEW).
viewCcsid Optional CCSID of the FM/IMS view. Default is 037.
timeout Optional Time in seconds for which the FM/IMS view session can be inactive before it is terminated. Can be any value from 0 to 28800 (eight hours). The default is 300 (5 minutes).

If the value is greater than the max_timeout in the server.xml configuration, the timeout value is ignored and the max_timeout value is used instead.

connid Optional Connection ID. Associates the generated SAR file with a configuration element in the server.xml of the z/OS® Connect WLP server. Default is default.
host Required The hostname or IP address of the ADFzCC server (IPVSRV) where the FM/IMS view resides. The host property is only relevant during SAR creation.
port Required The port number of the ADFzCC server (IPVSRV) where the FM/IMS view resides. The port property is only relevant during SAR creation.
userid Required A user ID that has read access to the FM/IMS view on the z/OS system running the IPVSRV server. The userid property is only relevant during SAR creation.
passwd Required A password of the user ID that has read access to the FM/IMS view on the z/OS® system running the IPVSRV server. The passwd property is only relevant during SAR creation.
