How to Control IMS Databases (Option 3.3.4)

To control IMS databases, you must access the IMS Database Display panel. To do so, select option 4 when you fill in the IMS Control panel. You will need the four-character ID of an active IMS region to select this page. As a result you see a display similar to the following one:

Data Base Display - CA99 --- O P S V I E W ---------- Row 96 to 114 of 460

This display shows a page of the scrollable OPS 3.3.4 display. Note that the subset column contains a number on rows D14, D16, D17, and D18. The presence of a number in this column indicates that an area or partition exists for that line. The E (Examine) command brings a lower level display showing the areas or partitions. Their status can be monitored or changed.

This screen displays details of the three areas associated with line D14:

The commands available on this screen are the same as those on the main screen, except that the E command is not supported.
