Configuring CA IDMS

CA IDMS Server is installed into a subdirectory in the HFS. This subdirectory, specified when the product is installed, is referred to in this document as /idmsdir. Its structure is as follows:

/idmsdir

Specifies the default location for the configuration file and example SQL script.

/idmsdir/bin

Specifies shell scripts to run the JDBC server and sample Java applications.

/idmsdir/bin/mvs

Specifies compiled executable files, including the JDBC server service wrapper.

/idmsdir/classes

Specifies the caidms.properties file and the IdmsExample sample application. It is also used for classes supplied as part of an APAR and additional helper classes provided by CA.

/idmsdir/lib

Specifies the Java archive files (including the JDBC driver and JDBC server).

/idmsdir/lib/mvs

Specifies the shared object libraries used to implement the native methods and client interfaces.

/idmsdir/sampjcl

Specifies the sample jobstreams for starting and stopping the CA IDMS Server from MVS. These jobs should be copied to an MVS PDS and customized to meet your site requirements. The sample job card member should be customized and included in each of the jobstreams.

/idmsdir/src

Specifies the sample Java source code.

For more information about configuring CA IDMS Server for use with applets and JDBC-enabled applications running on other platforms, see the Using the JDBC Driver topic in the chapter "Using the Java Client on Any Platform."
