I.    Sample APPC/IMS Configuration

VTAM APPL Parameters:

               VBUILD       TYPE=APPL,
--> REMTLU     APPL         AUTH=(ACQ,PASS,VPACE),
                            MODETAB=MSMODE,
                            DLOGMODE=DEPMODE,
                            PARSESS=NO,
                            PARSESS=NO,
                            APPC=YES,
                            SONSCIP=YES,
                            ACBNAME=REMTLU,
                            VERIFY=NONE,
                            SECACPT=CONV

APPC/MVS Instructions:

  1. Configure APPC/MVS. This is an IBM program that is available with the MVS
    operating system, but has to be configured separately. It is a service that extends LU 6.2/APPC functionality to IMS and other programs in an MVS system.
  2. In SYS1.PARMLIB(APPCPMxx), define the IMS LU to APPC/MVS:
         LUADD ACBNAME(REMTLU)
             BASE
             SCHED(IMSA)            APPC/MVS transaction scheduler.  This
    		                value must match in your IMS startup job.
             TPDATA(MS.APPCTP)      Permanent VSAM data set for TP profiles
             TPLEVEL(SYSTEM)        Search order for TP profiles
    
  3. Add the IMSID keyword in the IMSCTRL macro to match the SCHED keyword in the LUADD statement above:
           IMSCTRL SYSTEM=(VS/2,(ALL,DB/DC),4.2),
           IMSID=IMSA
    
  4. Start IMS/APPC by specifying APPC=Y (default is NO) on the IMS startup
    procedure. You can use /START APPC if IMS is already up. This is just to
    start the APPC components within IMS DC.
  5. In IMS startup job, ensure JCL symbolic parameter IMSID= matches the
    scheduler defined in SYS1.PARMLIB (this case IMSID=IMSA) This points IMS DC to the above PARMLIB entry.
