IMS Commands Issued from a BMP Region
The IOF can use a BMP region to issue IMS commands and retrieve command responses. This ability provides an alternative to requiring that CA OPS/MVS use the IMS WTOR method whenever it needs to issue an IMS command.
The IOF use of a BMP region for IMS commands has these advantages:
- The IOF can issue most IMS commands without waiting for the IMS WTOR.
- Command responses are more reliable and more efficient, because command output is neither automatically routed to the consoles (as it would be if the commands were issued through the IMS WTOR) nor routed through the subsystem interface (SSI).
Notes:
- The OPSCMD and ADDRESS OPER keyword BMPCMDOUT can be used to echo the current command output optionally. Possible values are OPSLOG, WTO, or NONE.
- The OPSCMD and ADDRESS OPER keyword IMSREPLY forces the current command to bypass the BMP and to issue the command through the IMS WTOR.
Note: For details about these keywords, see the Command and Function Reference.
