This tutorial 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.
Prerequisites
To complete this tutorial, you need the following software in addition to
Enterprise Developer:
- Micro Focus Rumba TN3270 emulator, supplied with the
Enterprise Developer installer.
Note: If you did not choose to install Rumba when you installed
Enterprise Developer, either rerun the installer to install Rumba, or use an alternative TN3270 emulator. If you choose to use an alterative TN3270 emulator, be aware that all instructions in this tutorial assume that you are using the embedded Rumba emulator.
Demonstration Application
This tutorial uses the MFDEMO demonstration, located by default in the
%PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\Mainframe\IMS\Classic\IVP (for 32-bit) or
IVP64 (for 64-bit) directory.
MFDEMO is a COBOL IMS TM application for creating and maintaining an IMS DB tabular database. User-defined tables are organized by table element within table name. The following components are used by this application:
IMS components:
-
DEMO03DD.DBD
-
DEMO03DD.DBU
-
DEMO001T.PSB
-
DEMO90.MFS
-
DEMO91.MFS
-
DEMO92.MFS
- TRANCODE.TXT - IMS Stage 1 file
COBOL components:
-
DEMO001T.CBL
-
RGHTJUST.CBL
Outline
In this tutorial you perform the steps typically required in implementing and running IMS applications. Follow the steps in these topics in the order presented here:
