Statement of Direction• IBM IMS has evolved into a more dynamic system, based on continuous redesign

that will ultimately eliminate the need for system generation. This redesign currently includes dynamic definition for resources such as application programs, databases, routing codes, transactions, OSAM buffer pools, VSAM share pools, MSC physical links, logical links, logical link paths, and remote logical terminals.

• IMS 14 delivered optional support allowing IMS to dynamically manage application control blocks (ACBs). IMS-managed ACBs allows for the use of DDL to replace DBD and PSB generation processes. Databases and program views can be dynamically defined using SQL DDL statements instead of generation utilities, such as ACBGEN.

• IBM intends to require IMS management of ACBs in the future. IMS and the IMS catalog must be set up to support ACB management. IMS provides a utility for this.

• At a later date, after the requirement for IMS-managed ACBs is in place, IBM also intends to remove the generation processes for PSBLIB, DBDLIB and ACBLIB. At that time, the IMS catalog, SQL, and DDL become the interface to IMS database management.

• These planned changes to IBM IMS will enhance availability, free up DBA resources, improve productivity, simplify operations, testing, and debugging, and accelerate time-to-value for new business solutions.

• Statements regarding IBM’s future direction and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice, and represent goals and objectives only.

Presentation Notes
So why do we think this solution has value. If is continue step towards making IMS a “Gen-less” system. Other major subsystems to not have gen processes and because of this and Because of our proprietary syntax/processes, IMS appears out of date even though we constantly deliver capabilities that are cutting edge with the current IT trends. Because IMS is managed differently that most other DBMS, it can be harder to learn; By providing industry standard interfaces (such as DDL), the same skills someone learns to manage DB2 or Oracle or … can more easily be applied to managing IMS IF lays the foundation for significantly simplifying operations, Since the process is managed by an online IMS, we can do things more dynamically and we can also consolidate processes. More on that in the demo. Also, we employ modern data sets such as PDSEs which removed limits and are easier to manage. Finally all of this can lead to increased productivity for you which can lead to more revenue as you can rollout new applications quicker

So why and what is the IMS Catalog?

© Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 5

Why have a Catalog?• Enables scalable and flexible IMS Open Database solution• Allow direct access to IMS databases from Java• Introduced the Single Source of Truth Concept with IMS v12• Natural next step for IMS Users with long-term IMS plans• Provides a trusted online source for two types of metadata

– IMS Database– IMS Application

IMS Catalog is not the same as IMS Repository DB

• PSB/DBD resources‒ Database structure

definitions‒ Physical database definitions‒ Segment definitions‒ Field definitions

• Application‒ Data types‒ Application defined fields‒ Encodings‒ Redefines‒ User defined types‒ Structures

TM• MODBLKS resources

What is the IMS Catalog? • Introduced back in IMS V12 – optional

• IMS Catalog is a HALDB database

– Contains IMS metadata (data about the data)

– Used by IMS Universal drivers for JDBC & DL/I access to IMS Databases

– Useful for integration with tools that provide JDBC access (e.g. Datastage)

– Data Modeling

– Etc.

• IMS Catalog is required if you will implement IMS Managed ACBs

Presenter
Presentation Notes
A very brief overview of the IMS Catalog & some of its uses. Very important: an IMS Catalog is required to implement IMS Managed ACBs. Please note, even if the client has no intention of doing JDBC access to IMS data, the Catalog is required for implementing IMS Managed ACBs

• Foundation for additional existing and future IMS features:– IMS 13 Database Versioning– IMS 13 IMS Native SQL support for COBOL 5.1– IMS 13 .NET access to IMS data– IMS 14 Dynamic Database Definition– IMS 14 IMS Managed ACBs

• Some IBM products which can utilize the IMS Catalog:– IMS Explorer for Development– IBM Data Studio – Rational Asset Analyzer– COGNOS– QMF– InfoSphere Data Architect, DataStage, and Metadata Asset Manager– IBM WAS Liberty Profile, IBM MobileFirst, and IMS Mobile Feature Pack

Presenter
Presentation Notes
With IMS Managed ACBs, IMS does not use the ACBLIB. It loads the ACB Blocks from what’s called the directory dataset. The Directory dataset is the runtime equivalent of the Catalog.

WHAT IS THE IMS DIRECTORY?

© Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 15

What is the IMS Directory?

It’s a PDSE (ACBLIB is a PDS)

IMS directory houses ACBs (just like an ACBLIB)

Directory records have a format much like the ACBs in an ACBLIB

The directory has functionality similar to an ACBLIB IMS will reference the directory to get the runtime ACBs

© Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 16

Why not just use ACBLIB? Any differences between ACBLIB & Directory?

Today, GSAM database control blocks stored in DBDLIB and PSBLIB, not in ACBLIB

With IMS management of ACBs, GSAM databases will be stored in the Directory

‒ IMS will use the directory to load the GSAM runtime control blocks at each dependent region schedule

Today, logical database control blocks are stored in the DBDLIB, not in ACBLIB

With IMS Management of ACBs, logical DBDs will be stored in the IMS Catalog

© Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 17

Why do they call it IMS Managed ACBs?IMS will self-manage the IMS directory PDSE data sets

‒ An additional data set is allocated when a directory data set becomes full

Data set names will be an extension of the HALDB catalog data set name‒ <HALDB data set prefix>.DI<suffix>• Example

o IMSTEST.DFSCD000.DI1001o IMSTEST.DFSCD000.DI1002

IMS will use DFSDIRxx DD for directory data set allocation

IMS maintains a boot strap data set (BSDS) with information about the directory data sets

© Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 18

Application control blocks (ACBs) generated can be stored in a staging directory

From the IMS staging directory dataset they can be added to the IMS directory (while IMS is up) using an IMPORT command

IMPORT DEFN SOURCE(CATALOG)

• IMPORT DEFN SOURCE(CATALOG)– Moves members from STG directory to active directories

– Moves ALL members in STG

– Single process• Messages for problems are displayed in the output

– Command can be submitted again after corrective action taken for resources

– Imported resources are logged in 7002 log records that have the names of the resources that are changed or added

Presentation Notes
This foil shows the various datasets for the Catalog & Directory. The Catalog is a HALDB database. So the database is made up of partitions. Each partition has up to 4 data set groups. The Catalog also has a secondary index. The IMS directory is a PDSE. The directory is created & populated using the Catalog Populate utility (DFS3PU00). More on this on the next page. IMS manages the directory datasets – meaning, if the directory data set fills up, IMS will create another directory dataset. If the second one fills up, IMS will create a third directory data set & so on. Since there can be multiple directory data sets, a Boot Strap Data set (BSDS) exists to keep track of the directory data sets. The Staging Directory data set is used an interim when importing ACB updates into the IMS directory data set.

Difference between IMS Catalog & IMS Directory

IMS Catalog contains metadata for your DBDs & PSBs IMS Directory contains the ACBs of your DBDs & PSBs

IMS Catalog contains various instances of your DBDs & PSBs IMS Directory only contains the latest ACB of your DBD or PSB The directory is kept in sync with the catalog Both are updated

1:1 relationship between ACBs in the directory and the catalog– If the catalog is shared then Directory PDSE(s) are shared– If the catalog is non-shared then Directory PDSE(s) are non-

shared

Again, just a very, very high level view. The IMS directory is initially created & populated by running the Catalog Populate utility with MANAGEDACBS=SETUP specified in the SYSINP data set. If you don’t have an IMS catalog created, then the Catalog populate utility will also create the IMS Catalog for you. The Catalog Populate utility uses as input the ACBLIB to build the IMS directory & the IMS catalog.

Presentation Notes
After a client implements managed ACBs, they have 3 options to update the directory. Here we talk about the first option. In the beginning this is what most customers would do and what we'd recommend. Here’s option 1: The client can continue to maintain their ACBLIBs & keep doing ACBGENs. But to get the ACB info from the ACBLIB into the catalog/directory, they need to run the CATPOP utility. The CATPOP utility in this case can run with either MANAGEDACBS=STAGE or MANAGEDACBS=UPDATE. With MANAGEDACBS=STAGE, the IMS Catalog is updated & the ACB blocks are placed in a staging directory data set. The ACB blocks are then ”imported” into the Directory by issuing the type 2 IMPORT DEFN command. The MANAGEDACBS=UPDATE option requires IMS to be down. With MANGEDACBS=UPDATE the Catalog Populate utility directly updates the IMS directory data set. No staging data set comes into play here. I suspect in the beginning this is what most customers would do and what we'd recommend.

Presentation Notes
Here is option 2 for updating the directory: To use ONLY DDL (and not do ACBGENs). Please note that even though the client is not doing ACBGENs they could still maintain their ACBLIBs and for that they would need to run the IMS Catalog Database Library Utility (DFS3LU00) to get the member update from the Catalog into the ACBLIB after they have done the DDL. They may want to do this because some of their vendor tools may still require ACBLIBs I doubt most customers will use this option because I don't think they will cut over to DDL all at once. They probably want to to do a phased approach. Try some DDL & do the rest via ACBGEN and as they get comfortable with DDL, they'll cut over more of their ACBGENs to DDL. Which leads to option 3 on the next page.

Updating the directory – option 3 – continue with ACBGENs

Batch Implications Application batch jobs do not have to be modified for IMS Managed

ACBs. They can continue to run with DBDLIBs & PSBLIBs

However, to enable batch jobs for IMS Managed ACBs

• Specify use of the IMS catalog and ACB management‒ Add JCL PARM to specifiy DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member or ‒ Use DFS3CDX0 exit as an alternative to modifying the JCL

• IMS will load application control blocks from the catalog

• If present, IMS ignores DBDLIB and PSBLIB, or ACBLIB‒ Overrides the DLI or DBB processing option specified in the JCL
