Integrating with IMS › Configure IOF

Configure IOF

Before you use IOF, you need to set up its parameters. If you do not have AO exits installed, you must also install the supplied sample exits.

Note: This topic provides an overview of how to configure IOF. For special considerations, see the Installation Guide.

To configure IOF

1. Ensure that the following statements are included in your OPSSPA00 program:
   • Include the following statement to activate IOF:

     var = OPSPRM("SET","INITIMS","YES")
     

   • Include the following statement for each IMS control region with which IOF communicates:

     var = OPSPRM("SET","IMSnID","ims_id")
     

   Include statements for other parameters as required.

   These changes take effect when CA OPS/MVS is recycled.

   Note: For more information about IOF-related parameters, see the Parameter Reference.

2. Install the supplied sample exits if you do not have AO exits installed:
   • Customize the OPSAOUE0 job in the CNTL data set, and submit it.

     A type 1 AO exit is installed.

   • Customize the OPSAOE00 job in the CNTL data set, and submit it.

     A type 2 AO exit is installed.

3. (Optional) Set up a BMP region.

   CA OPS/MVS can issue IMS commands through this region instead of WTOR messages.

   Note: For information about how to set up the BMP region, see the Installation Guide.
