Tutorial: IMS Support

Takes you step by step through the main features of Enterprise Developer and Enterprise Server IMS support. You start by importing an IMS demonstration application into Enterprise Developer, and finish by running the application on Enterprise Server.
Note: You can follow this tutorial in lieu of performing the steps outlined in IMS Installation Verification Procedure (IVP), which effectively produces the same end result using the command line instead of the Enterprise Developer user interface.

  • DEMO03DD.DBD
  • DEMO03DD.DBU
  • DEMO001T.PSB
  • DEMO90.MFS
  • DEMO91.MFS
  • DEMO92.MFS
  • TRANCODE.TXT - IMS Stage 1 file
