7.3.4.7 IMSALIAS Statement

This parameter is used in conjunction with the AutoDetect
Facility (ADF).  The ADF currently supports auto detection
when processing BMC MAINVIEW for IMS Online transaction data
and non-BMC MAINVIEW for IMS Online data that is fed
directly to DAY060 (not via LDE).  When ADF is in use, the
ORGIMSID is extracted from the BMC MAINVIEW for IMS Online
transaction data or the IMS log records.  The ORGIMSID
element is then used to establish the value of the IMSID
element.  If, for some reason, the existing value of the
IMSID element is different from the ORGIMSID value, the
IMSALIAS statement can be used to force a different value
into the IMSID element.  This would most typically occur as
the result of an IMSID having changed over time, although the
original value was maintained for consistency in the CA MICS
database.

The IMSALIAS statement has the following format:

IMSALIAS(oimsid,imsid)

where:

oimsid = The physical IMSID as it would be extracted from the
         BMC MAINVIEW for IMS Online transaction data or IMS
         log records.

imsid  = The logical IMSID that is to be assigned to the
         IMSID data element in the CA MICS database.

Note: The mapping function of the IMSALIAS statement is only
performed on BMC MAINVIEW for IMS Online log data that is
being processed using the AutoDetect Facility.  The log data
for all IMS regions defined using the non-ADF OPTIONS
statements is processed as before.
