Subsystem Selection panel

The Subsystem Selection panel is displayed when you enter either no subsystem name or a subsystem name pattern on these panels:
  • Browse Entry panel
  • Edit Entry panel
  • Delete/Define Entry panel
  • Initialize Entry panel
  • Extract Entry panel
  • Load Entry panel
  • Print Entry panel
  • Batch Edit Entry panel
  • Batch Browse Entry panel
  • Subsystem Settings Menu panel

If no subsystem name is supplied, all IMS subsystems specified in the FM/IMS installation options module are shown on the panel. If a subsystem name pattern is supplied, all IMS subsystems specified in the FM/IMS installation options module that have a name matching the pattern are shown on the panel.

Cmd
Selection entry field.

To select a subsystem, enter S in the Cmd field and press Enter. You can only select a subsystem for:

  • Edit, Delete/Define, Initialize, Load and Batch Edit when the subsystem has not been defined as read only.
  • A function that runs in BMP mode when the subsystem is active and has not been defined as DLI mode only.
  • A function that runs in DLI mode when the subsystem has not been defined as BMP mode only.
  • A function that uses a dynamic PSB when the subsystem has not been defined as static PSB only.
  • A function that uses a static PSB when the subsystem has not been defined as dynamic PSB only.
  • The BMP mode settings panels when the subsystem has not been defined as DLI mode only.
  • The DLI mode settings panels when the subsystem has not been defined as BMP mode only.
    Note: The Cmd field is protected when you are not allowed to select the subsystem.
SSID
The IMS subsystem ID. The subsystem ID is highlighted when when you are allowed to select the subsystem.
Status
The current status of the subsystem. The subsystem can be ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
IMS VER
The version of IMS that the subsystem runs. The version number is only displayed when the current status of the subsystem is active.
Read Only
Whether or not the subsystem has been defined as read only in the FM/IMS installation options module (Y or N respectively). FM/IMS prevents you from selecting a read only subsystem for Edit, Delete/Define, Initialize, Load and Batch Edit.
Note: A subsystem can be defined as read only for one region type (DLI or BMP) and not read only for the other.
PSB Types
The PSB types that you can use to access databases in the subsystem:
BOTH
You can use both dynamic and static PSBs.
STAT
You can only use static PSBs.
DYN
You can only use dynamic PSBs.
FM/IMS prevents you from selecting:
  • A static PSB only subsystem for a function that uses a dynamic PSB.
  • A dynamic PSB only subsystem for a function that uses a static PSB.

The PSB types you can use to access a subsystem in BMP mode may be different from the PSB types you can use to access the subsystem in DLI mode.

Region Types
The region types you can use to access databases in the subsystem:
BOTH
You can use both BMP and DLI regions.
BMP
You can only use BMP regions.
DLI
You can only use DLI regions.
FM/IMS prevents you from selecting:
  • A BMP mode only subsystem for a function that runs in DLI mode.
  • A BMP mode only subsystem for a DLI mode settings panel.
  • A DLI mode only subsystem for a function that runs in BMP mode.
  • A DLI mode only subsystem for a BMP mode settings panel.
AGNs Used
Whether or not the subsystem uses AGNs to secure dependent regions (Y or N respectively).
Description
The subsystem description as specified in the FM/IMS installation options module.

Use the REFRESH primary command to refresh the statuses of the listed subsystems.
