IBM® Tools Base IMS™ Tools Knowledge Base (IMS Tools KB) is a Tools Base component that provides common services for
storing and viewing reports that are generated by other participating IMS Tools products. Configure the IMS
Tools Knowledge Base server if you want to store IMS HP Load
reports in the IMS Tools Knowledge Base Output
repository.
About this task
To fully participate in the IMS Tools
Knowledge Base information management environment, each IMS tool must be enabled to communicate with
the IMS Tools Knowledge Base
server. An enabled IMS tool can
automatically send its generated reports to the IMS Tools Knowledge Base repository. This version
of IMS HP Load is enabled to
participate in the IMS Tools
Knowledge Base environment.
Procedure
To store IMS HP
Load reports in the Output repository of IMS Tools
KB by using the ITKBSRVR=server_name control statement,
you must set up the environment by completing the following steps:
Note: For detailed procedures about the tasks that are related to IMS Tools Knowledge Base, see the following publications:
- For Tools Base 1.4, Tools Base IMS Tools
Knowledge Base User's Guide
- For Tools Base 1.5 or later, Tools Base Configuration Guide
.
- Ensure that APAR PM00732 is applied to IMS HP Load.
- Ensure that Tools Base IMS Tools
Knowledge Base is installed.
- Set up an IMS Tools
KB server.
- If needed, register the RECON.
- Register IMS HP Load
with IMS Tools Knowledge Base.
The registration process defines IMS HP Load reports to IMS Tools Knowledge Base so that IMS HP Load reports can be stored in the IMS Tools
Knowledge Base repository.
Use the IMS Tools Knowledge Base product administration
utility (HKTAPRA0) to register IMS HP Load with IMS Tools Knowledge Base. The product definition table for registering IMS HP Load is HPSRITKB. For more information, see the topic "Registering IMS Tools
products by using the definition table of the product" in the following publications:
- For Tools Base 1.4, Tools Base IMS Tools
Knowledge Base User's Guide
- For Tools Base 1.5 or later, Tools Base Configuration Guide
After you register IMS HP Load with IMS Tools Knowledge Base, see the topic "Listing registered products and
reports" in the Tools Base IMS Tools
Knowledge Base User's Guide or the Tools Base Configuration Guide to list the registered products and
reports, and ensure that IMS HP Load (product ID is DL) is
added.
- Verify communication with the IMS Tools
Knowledge Base server.
Verify that the systems that you will run IMS HP Load on
will have XCF communications with the IMS Tools Knowledge Base
server and that the FPQ subsystem is started on each of these systems. In the Tools Base IMS Tools
Knowledge Base User's Guide or the Tools Base Configuration Guide, see the topic "Defining IMS Tools
Knowledge Base to the operating system".
- Request that IMS HP
Load write reports to the IMS Tools
Knowledge Base repository.
Specify the IMS Tools Knowledge Base server information on
the ITKBLOAD and ITKBSRVR control statements. These control statements
can be specified in the FRRIN data set. These control statements direct IMS HP Load to communicate to the IMS Tools Knowledge Base server so
that IMS HP Load reports can
be stored in the IMS Tools Knowledge
Base repository. For more information about the control statements
to specify in the FRRIN data set and the reports that can be stored
in the repository, see ITKBSRVR control statement and ITKBLOAD control statement.
What to do next
After you complete these steps, IMS HP Load can store its reports in the Output
repository of IMS Tools Knowledge
Base. Before you run IMS HP Load
jobs, always confirm that the IMS Tools
Knowledge Base server is initialized.
When the reports are stored
in the repository, you can use the ISPF user interface to view, print,
and manage reports.
