IMS High Performance System Generation Tools

The architecture of IMS High Performance System Generation Tools is centered around three main components: the Resource Definition component, the Change Management component, and the Utilities component. The Resource Definition component handles the creation and modification of IMS resource definitions. The Change Management component manages the application of changes, ensuring consistency and minimizing downtime.

The Utilities component provides the necessary tools for various operations, such as database updates and transaction modifications. These components interact through control statements and utilize VSAM datasets for storing control information and metadata. , RACF) for authentication and access control.

The tool does not expose any APIs. The primary administrative interface is a set of z/OS utilities and control statements. The tool provides comprehensive auditing and logging capabilities, integrating with the z/OS system logs to track all changes and user activities.

This architecture ensures a controlled and auditable process for updating IMS resources, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing the risk associated with system changes. The tool does not expose any APIs.
