Installing and configuring IMS High Performance Load

The following topics provide the prerequisites and requirements for installing IMS™ High Performance Load, and explain the configuration procedures.

Hardware and software prerequisites
Before you install and configure IMS HP Load, make sure that your environment meets the following minimum hardware and software requirements.
Configuring the IMS Tools Knowledge Base server
IMS Tools Knowledge Base (IMS Tools KB) is a IMS 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.
Configuring for DBRC command authorization
If IMS DBRC command and API request authorization support with RACF® is used, the user ID of the master address space must have authorization to access resources so that IMS HP Load can issue DBRC commands and DBRC API requests.
Configuring the environment to use the Load API
If you want to use the application programming interface of IMS HP Load (Load API), configure the environment before you use the Load API.
