Exporting IMS resources to z/OS

You can export modified IMS™ resources such as program specification block (PSB) and database description (DBD) files from your IMS Explorer project to z/OS® by using the Export IMS Resources wizard.

Before you begin

  • Have a modified IMS Explorer project in your workspace.
  • Have the proper authorization to access the partitioned data set (PDS) in your z/OS environment that contains the PSB and DBD source files.

Procedure

To export IMS resources:

  1. From the main menu bar, click File > Export > IMS > z/OS System. (You can also export IMS resources by right-clicking an existing project in the Project Explorer view, clicking Export > IMS > System z/OS, and then clicking Next.) The Export IMS Resources wizard opens.
  2. In the Project name field, select the name of an IMS Explorer project and click Next.
  3. Select the type of IMS resources to export: Generated PSB Source or Generated DBD Source.
  4. Add the PSB or DBD source files that you want to export to the Selected PSB Source or Selected DBD Source field by clicking on the resources in the Available PSB Source or Available DBD Source field, clicking on the > symbol, and then click Next.
    Tip: To select multiple files, press Shift and click the first and last files in the list that you want to select. To select multiple files that are not grouped, press Ctrl and click the files in the list.
