4.2.5 Task 5: Create an Oracle TMA TCP for IMS Configuration File

Oracle TMA TCP for IMS makes use of a text configuration file which is read and processed during initialization to establish the configuration. Any text editor (such as the ISPF Editor) can be used to create the configuration file. CONFIGOT, the OTMA sample in the CONTROL distribution library is a sample configuration file which you may use as a starting point for creating configuration files tailored to your particular installation.

Place your completed configuration file in the configuration dataset allocated in the Task 1: Allocate z/OS Datasets. A configuration file includes the following basic sections:

  • SYSTEM Statement Definition
  • Local Gateways Definition
  • Remote Gateways Definition
  • Remote Services Definition
  • Local Services and IMS Host Systems Definition

    Note:

    You must define local services and IMS host systems if running OTMA.

For detailed information about syntax and parameter definitions for the configuration file, refer to the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP IMS User Guide.
