IMS Tools and IMS-managed ACBs support
This topic provides the minimum maintenance required for IMS Tools to support IMS-managed ACBs. This includes a new product prerequisite of the no-charge IBM® IMS Tools Base for z/OS product for some of the Tools.
In this topic, the following abbreviations are used:
- NA = Not Applicable
- The product does not have function that is impacted by IMS-managed ACBs.
- NS = Not Supported
- The product does not support IMS-managed ACBs.
- S = Supported
- The product supports IMS-managed ACBs and any required PTFs are listed.
- SP = Support Pending
- The product does not yet support IMS-managed ACBs, but will in the future. This topic is updated when the PTFs are available.
- Asterisk (*)
- Indicates that the component or stand-alone product is also included as a component in one or more of the solution packs.
Support for IMS-managed ACBs means you can configure the product to either:
- Use PSBLIB, DBDLIB, and ACBLIB
- Use the IMS catalog and the IMS directory
The data is current as of 2 July 2024.
Reminder:
- This list is for IMS Tools maintenance only, and does not include other IMS for z/OS® maintenance that might be required.
- If a prior release of a product is not listed in the matrix, it does not support IMS-managed ACBs.
