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. |
