Installing CONNX Components on the Target IMS System
1. Run CONNX Server Setup.
2. In the the z/OS tab of the CONNX Server Component Installation dialog box, select IMS in the Product area. Select Started Task in the Server Type area.
3. In the Login Information area, type the TCP/IP symbolic host name or dotted numeric address for your z/OS server in the Server text box, a TSO user ID in the User ID text box, and its password in the Password text box.
4. In the CONNX Server Data Set area, enter the data set name of the CONNX server component location (where CONNX for IMS will be installed on the mainframe) in the CONNX DSN HQL text box, its VOLSER in the VOLSER text box, and its DASD device type in the UNIT text box. If SMS is installed on the CONNX server system, select the SMS check box.
5. In the Load Library Parameters area, enter the dataset name of the link step output files in the Load Library DSN text box, its VOLSER in the VOLSER text box, and its DASD device type in the UNIT text box.
Enter the dataset name of the IMS High Level Qualifier in the IMS HQL text box and the dataset name of the library where you will find the IMS Library Integrity Utilities for z/OS in the IMS Utility Location text box.
The use of these utilities allows CONNX to automatically import IMS metadata by reading the content of the IMS PSBs and DBDs. If these utilities are not present on the system, leave this field blank. In this case, you will need to provide an index text specification file along with a COBOL copybook in order to import metadata into the CDD. Please see the CONNX User Guide for more information on importing IMS metadata into a CDD.
The Load Library DSN name is automatically generated when you enter the data set name of the CONNX server component location in the CONNX Server Data Set area.
6. In the FTP Mode area, enter the FTP mode that is appropriate for your FTP server. If the host cannot be accessed via FTP, select Manual Copy. Manual Copy creates a local copy of the files that need to be transferred along with a text file with instructions.
7. In the IMS Interface area, select the interface you are using to access IMS.
8. Click Install.
This action starts an FTP session to copy the selected components from the client PC to the target host.
Close the installation dialog box.
