Submitting IMS commands

The IMS™ Configuration Manager Eclipse plug-in allows you to submit IMS command to individual systems or IMSplexes.

About this task

The Eclipse plug-in issues commands through the Operations Manager (OM) API, which supports all type-2 commands, and many type-1 commands. For a complete list of commands, see the IMS documentation on commands and keywords supported by the OM API.

Procedure

  1. From the Navigation view, double-click a system. A new tab is displayed showing the system or IMSplex you have selected.
  2. Select the Commands tab.
  3. Type your command in the Command box. Examples:
    • QUERY IMSPLEX SHOW(ALL)
    • DISPLAY STATUS
    • DISPLAY TRAN ALL or QUERY TRAN SHOW(ALL)
    • QUERY TRAN NAME(*) SHOW(QCNT)
    Note: Commands are submitted with the TSO credentials used to connect to the Common Services Library server. This TSO userid must be authorized to run the commands using the appropriate IMS command access authority.
  4. Press Enter, or click the Refresh button (refresh icon). The results of the query are displayed in the table.
