To import IMS transactions

Open a command prompt.

Change to the directory that contains your transaction file.

Note: If you want to import into an existing imsgen2.dat file, be sure that either the transaction file and the imsgen2.dat file are in the current directory, or that you have set the ES_IMSLIB environment variable to point to the location of the imsgen2.dat file.

Enter the following:

mfims stage1imp transactionfile [ADDREPL] [DELEXIST]

where:

`transactionfile`	The transaction file created from a stage 1 file or from Enterprise Server.
ADDREPL	If the imsgen2.dat already exists, specifies adding new transactions and replacing existing transactions. If you do not specify ADDREPL, new transactions are added but existing transactions are left unchanged.
DELEXIST	If the imsgen2.dat already exists, specifies that all the existing transaction definitions in the imsgen2.dat file be deleted before importing extracted transactions.
