Product Overview

IMS Tools Knowledge Base, first released in 2007, was designed to store and manage historical reports from IMS DB Tools on the z/OS platform. The architecture comprised several key components: a data storage module, a report indexing module, and a user access module. The data storage module utilized a proprietary mechanism for storing reports generated by IMS DB Tools.

The report indexing module provided efficient search and retrieval capabilities, allowing users to quickly locate specific reports based on various criteria. The user access module managed user authentication and authorization, ensuring that only authorized users could access the reports. The product is no longer supported.

Users should migrate to a supported solution such as IBM Tools Base. Migration involves transferring historical reports and reconfiguring report storage and access mechanisms within the new environment. The product is no longer supported.
