Before starting the installation, make sure that you have the following permissions:

Oracle Connect for IMS/DB software for the IBM OS/390 machine is contained in the following datasets:

These datasets are provided on a CD-ROM in the directory Oracle_Connect\IMSDB_Legacy_Adapter.

Installing the Kit on the Mainframe

  1. On the mainframe, run the following command:

    tso profile noprefix
    
    
  2. The user name will not be used as part of the dataset name. On some systems this is the default.

  3. On the mainframe, allocate datasets with the following space for each of these files:

    • OCL904.TRANSMIT.KIT = 130 tracks (3380 and 3390 disks)

    • OCL904.TRANSMIT.LOAD = 420 tracks (3380 and 3390 disks)

    For each dataset: RECFM=FB and LRECL=80. The block size is 3120.

  4. Using FTP, copy OCL904.TRANSMIT.KIT and OCL904.TRANSMIT.LOAD in binary mode from the installation CD to the mainframe. You can replace the OCL904 high-level qualifier to any qualifier you want.

Installation Instructions

Complete the following steps to install Oracle Connect for IMS/DB:

  1. From within TSO, run the following command at the TSO prompt:

    RECEIVE INDSNAME('nnn.TRANSMIT.KIT')
    
    

    where nnn represents the high-level qualifier you want to assign for the Oracle Connect for IMS/DB installation. Assign the high-level qualifier you specified in step 7 of the preinstallation. The default value is OCL904.


    Note:

    You can use more than one high-level qualifier (such as ACME.DEV.OCL904) with the following conditions:

    • The total length must be less than or equal to twenty characters

    • The words "transmit" and "buildkit" cannot be used as high-level qualifiers


  2. Enter the following when prompted for the restore parameters:

    da('nnn.TRANSMIT.LIB') [UNIT(unit) VOLUME(volume)]
    
    

    This extracts the nnn.TRANSMIT.LIB library from the nnn.TRANSMIT.KIT kit to the specified unit and volume. If a unit and volume are not specified the library is extracted to the current unit and volume.

  3. Execute the PREPARE member of the nn.TRANSMIT.LIB library:

The installation is completed. All JCL jobs and REXX procedures are written to the INSTROOT.USERLIB library. INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier for the installation.

Postinstallation Instructions

The following postinstallation tasks must be done to work with Oracle Connect for IMS/DB:

General Postinstallation Procedures

Perform the following procedures after completing the installation, to configure Oracle Connect for IMS/DB.

Starting the Daemon

Activate INSTROOT.USERLIB(ATTDAEMN) as a started task to invoke the daemon. For example, in the SDSF screen enter the following:

'/s ATTDAEMN'

INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS/DB is installed.

To submit the daemon as a job, uncomment the first two lines of the ATTDAEMN JCL, change the PARM line as described above, and run the job using the sub command. The ATTDAEMN JCL is similar to the following:

//*ATTDAEMN JOB 'RR','TTT',MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=A,
//* MSGCLASS=A,NOTIFY=&SYSUID,REGION=8M
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IRPCD,
// PARM='-B  START IRPCDINI'
//* PARM='-B -L :8883 START'
//STEPLIB DD DSN=INSTROOT.LOADAUT,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//GBLPARMS DD DSN=INSTROOT.DEF.GBLPARMS,DISP=SHR
// EXEC PGM=IRPCD,COND=((1,EQ,STEP1),(2,EQ,STEP1)),
// PARM='-KATTDAEMN START ''INSTROOT.DEF.IRPCDINI'''
//STEPLIB DD DSN=INSTROOT.LOADAUT,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//GBLPARMS DD DSN=INSTROOT.DEF.GBLPARMS,DISP=SHR
//SYSDUMP DD DUMMY

Setting Up Oracle Connect for IMS/DB for Reentrancy

To set up Oracle Connect for IMS/DB to be reentrant, move INSTROOT.LOAD to the Link Pack Area (LPA).

INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS/DB is installed.

Using the LPA reduces real storage usage (because everyone shares the LPA copy) and fetch time.


Note:

If you intend using impersonation, so that you can run in a security context that is different than the context of the process that owns the server, do the following:

  • Place the INSTROOT.LOAD(ATYSVCW) member in an APF-authorized library outside the LPA.

  • Change the ATTSRVR member (located in the active proclib), by adding the following to the STEPLIB list:

// DD DSN=apf_library,DISP=SHR

Where apf_library is the APF-authorized library outside the LPA where the ATYSCVW member was moved.


Setting Up Oracle Connect for IMS/DB to Work Under CICS

In order to access IMS/DB data under CICS, do the following.

  1. Copy the ATYDBCTL from INSTROOT.LOAD to a CICS DFHRPL library (such as 'CICS.USER.LOAD') and then define the ATYDBCTL program under CICS using any available group such as ORA group:

    CEDA DEF PROG(ATYDBCTL) G(ORA) LANG(C) DA(ANY) DE(ORA IMSDB CICS PROGRAM)
    
    

    INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS/DB is installed.

    After defining the ATYDBCTL program to a group, install it as follows:

    CEDA IN G(ORA)
    
    
  2. Under CICS, run the CDBC transaction and choose the first option (Connection). Provide the startup table suffix and DBCTL ID override value.

Setting Up Oracle Connect for IMS/DB to Work Under IMS/TM

In order to execute an IMS transaction, you need to set OTMA (Open Transaction Manager Access), as follows.

  1. Install OTMA with OTMA C/I where IMS resides, since OTMA is not automatically installed using the IMS INSTALL/IVP Dialog.

  2. During IMS system definition, set the startup parameter in the IMS procedure to OTMA=Yes.

    In addition, set additional OTMA-related parameters such as GRNAME= for the XCF group name and OTMANM= for the IMS member name in that XCF group, as in the following example:

    EDIT       IMS.PROCLIB(DFSPBIV1) - 01.03
    command ===>
    000082 AOIS =,
    000083 GRNAME=IMSATT01,
    000084 OTMA=YES,
    000085 MAXPST=
    000086 OTMANM=
    
    
  3. Start the OTMA Callable Interface (C/I).

    Add an entry in the program properties table (PPT) for the OTMA C/I initialization program as follows:

    1. Edit the SCHEDxx member of the SYS1.PARMLIB data set by adding the following entry:

      PPT PGMNAME(DFSYSVI0)	/*PROGRAM NAME =DFSYSVI0 */
      CANCEL 	/*PROGRAM CAN BE CANCELED */
      KEY(7)		/*PROTECT KEY ASSIGNED IS 7 */
      SWAP 		/*PROGRAM IS SWAPPABLE */
      NOPRIV 		/*PROGRAM IS NOT PRIVILEGED */
      DSI 		/*REQUIRES DATA SET INTEGRITY */
      PASS 		/*CANNOT BYPASS PASSWORD PROTECTION */
      SYST 		/*PROGRAM IS A SYSTEM TASK */
      AFF(NONE)		/*NO CPU AFFINITY */
      NOPREF 		/*NO PREFERRED STORAGE FRAMES */
      
      
    2. Do one of the following to make the SCHEDxx changes take effect:

      • Re-IPL the system

      • Issue the SET SCH= command

    3. Edit and submit the following JCL procedure to run DFSYSVI0:

      //OTMAINIT PROC RGN=3000K,SOUT=A,
      /PARM1=
      //*
      //IEFPROC EXEC PGM=DFSYSVI0,
      //REGION=&RGN
      //*
      //STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,UNIT=SYSDA,
      //DSN=IMSVS.RESLIB
      //*
      //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=&SOUT
      //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=&SOUT
      //*
      
      
  4. Run DFSYSVI0 after the IPL, to initialize the OTMA C/I.

  5. Copy INSTROOT.LOAD(ATYDBDC) to an IMS/TM program library (such as IMS.PGMLIB) with the name of the PSB name that you are using to access the IMS/DB data.

  6. Specify a transaction to point to this program. Oracle Connect for IMS/DB assumes a default transaction called ATYIMSTM.

Use statements similar to the following statements to define to IMS a transaction code supported by the sample program:

APPLCTN PSB=PSBNAME,SCHDTYP=PARALLEL
TRANSACT CODE=ATYIMSTM,PRTY=(7,10,2),INQUIRY=NO,MODE=SNGL,EDIT=ULC

Note that either upper or lower case is accepted, since the EDIT parameter is set to ULC.

Specifying Users with Administrative Rights to a Machine

By default, only the user who was specified during the installation as an administrator has the authorization to modify settings on that machine from Oracle Studio. This user can then authorize other users to make changes or to view the definitions for a selected machine. Adding a machine to Oracle Studio is described in "Task: Setting Up the IBM OS/390 Machine".


Note:

The default during installation is to enable all users to be administrators.


Task: Setting Administrative Rights to a Machine

    Designers - Designers can view all the definitions for the machine in Oracle Studio and can modify any of the definitions under the Bindings and Users nodes for the selected machine. For example, Oracle Studio database administrator can add new data sources and adapters and can change metadata definitions for a table in a data source.
