IMS DB system command interfaces

You can execute IMS DB system commands using any of the following interfaces:

TN3270

Database commands can be entered via a TN3270 session connected to /IMS.
The response output from the command will be sent back to the terminal session.

ESCWA

DB commands can be entered via the IMS Control page in ESCWA.
The response output is sent back to ESCWA.

See the IMS chapter in Enterprise Server Common Web Administration for more information.

JCL

DB commands can be entered via the IMSDBU JCL interface using the PARM parameter.
The response output is sent back to the job in the SYSOUT DD for the job step.
Step condition code is set if command fails.

Sample JCL step:

//STEP01  EXEC PGM=MFDBUJCL,PARM='/DIS DB DEMO03DD'
//SYSOUT  DD SYSOUT=*

Only one command can be entered per JOB step.
