  routing codes, and IMSplex members. The IMS Explorer for
  Administration can query, start, and stop IMS resources from an
  easy-to-use browser interface. The IMS Explorer for

  Connect and does not require any additional IBM IMS Tools
  products.  IMS Explorer for Administration replaces IMS Control
  Center.  Customers using this function should migrate to use IMS
  Explorer for Administration. This support will be available in
  the IMS Tools Base Administration Console for z/OS V1.4 service
  process.

Comments

• After the SMP/E RECEIVE and APPLY process is complete, this
  update must be applied by using Installation Manager. The
  original Administration Console installation package must be
  replaced with the new one that is delivered with this PTF,
  and then the update can be applied on Windows or on z/OS:
  
  - On Windows, launch Installation Manager from the Windows
  Start menu and click Update.
  
  - On z/OS, complete the following steps:
    - Run member AIIGINS, which is delivered as part of the
      IBM Tools Base for z/OS SMP/E installation.
  
      After you successfully run AIIGINS, the job log states
      that the com.ibm.imac_1.4.0.20131016_1238 repository was
      installed or modified in the Administration Console
      installation directory.
  
  After you successfully install this update, the Administration
  Console About page displays build number 201310161144.

  Console interface.
