You can access Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways by using one of the following methods:
Download the software from OTN. Refer to Downloading Oracle Software from the Oracle Technology Network Web Site for details.Copy the software to a hard disk. Refer to Copying the Oracle Software to a Hard Disk for details.
This section describes how to download the installation archive files and extract them on your hard disk. It contains the following topics:
To download the installation archive files from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN):
Use any browser to access the software download page on OTN:
Navigate to the download page for the product that you want to install.
On the download page, identify the required disk space by adding the file sizes for each required file.
The file sizes are listed next to the file names.
Select a file system with enough free space to store and expand the archive files.
In most cases, the available disk space must be at least twice the size of all of the archive files.
On the file system that you selected in step 4, create a parent directory for each product, for example, dg4ims, to hold the installation directories.
Download all of the installation archive files to the directory that you created in step 5.
Verify that the files you downloaded are the same size as the corresponding files on OTN.
To extract the installation archive files:
If necessary, change directory to the directory that contains the downloaded installation archive files.
To extract each file, enter the gunzip command.
For example:
$ gunzip filename.cpio.gz
This command creates files with names similar to the following:
filename.cpio
To extract the installation files, enter the cpio command.
For example:
$ cpio -idmv < filename.cpio
Note:
Refer to the download page for information about the correct options to use with thecpio command. Some browsers extract files while downloading them, but leave the .gz file extension. If these steps do not work, remove the .gz extension from the files and repeat step 3.For each file, this command creates a subdirectory named Diskn, where n is either 1 or the disk number identified in the file name.
Before installing Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, you might want to copy the software to the hard disk. This enables the installation process to run a bit faster. Before copying the installation media content to the hard disk, you must mount the installation media. The following section describes how to mount discs and copy their content to the hard disk.
On most Sun Solaris operating systems, the disc mounts automatically when you insert it into the disc drive. If the disc does not mount automatically, perform the following steps to mount it:
Enter the following command to switch user to root:
$ su - root
If necessary, enter a command similar to one of the following to eject the currently mounted disc, then remove the disc from the drive:
On Sun Solaris (SPARC):
# eject
On IBM AIX:
# umount /cdrom
On HP-UX Itanium:
# /usr/sbin/umount /SD_CDROM
In these examples, /cdrom and /SD_CDROM are the mount point directories for the disc drive.
Insert the appropriate disc into the disc drive.
To verify that the disc mounted automatically, enter a command similar to the following, depending on your platform:
Sun Solaris (SPARC):
# ls /cdrom/cdrom0
If this command fails to display the contents of the disc, enter a command similar to the following to mount it, depending on your platform:
Sun Solaris (SPARC):
# /usr/sbin/mount -r -F hsfs /dev/dsk/cxtydzs2 /cdrom
In this example, /cdrom is the disc mount point directory and /dev/dsk/cxtydzs2 is the device name for the disc device, for example /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s2.
If Oracle Universal Installer displays the Disk Location dialog box, enter the disk mount point directory path, for example:
/mnt/cdrom
After you have the Oracle Gateway shiphome image, Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways software is located as the following file:
/gateways/legacy/Connect/Connect.zip
You can unzip this file on any machine. It includes the following files:
transmit.kit
transmit.load
brand.bin
This section explains how to install Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways from the CD-ROM. This section includes the following topics:
Note:
The back-end database gateways that run on an IBM z/OS platform are:Oracle Database Gateway for VSAM
Oracle Database Gateway for IMS/DB
Oracle Database Gateway for Adabas
Verify that you have all the information detailed in Table 2-3 so you can refer to it during the configuration process.

Before starting the installation, make sure that you have the following information available:
The output class for the installation output if you do not want to use the default value A.
If you use SMS to manage all datasets, then you cannot provide unit and volume information, which is the unit where SMS is located.
Before starting the installation, make sure that you have the following permissions:
Permission to define an APF-authorized library.
Permission to write to an active proclib, such as user.proclib.
Permission to read the CICS EXCI library when accessing data under CICS.
Permission to update the security manager, such as RACF.
Optionally, permission to specify an output class for Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways output. Assigning a device that is set on HOLD prevents the loss of log information when the started tasks of Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways finish.
Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways for the IBM z/OS platform is included in the following datasets:
[INSTROOT].TRANSMIT.KIT
[INSTROOT].TRANSMIT.LOAD
where INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier of the installation, such as AC10131.
Perform the following on the mainframe:
Run the following command:
tso profile noprefix
The user name will not be used as part of the dataset name. On some systems this is the default.
Allocate datasets with the following space for each of these files:
[INSTROOT].TRANSMIT.KIT = 130 tracks (3380 and 3390 disks)
[INSTROOT].TRANSMIT.LOAD = 500 tracks (3380 and 3390 disks)
For each dataset: RECFM=FB and LRECL=80. The block size is 3120.
You need to move the contents of the kit to the mainframe computer in the dataset that you allocated. When you copy the contents of the kit, you will see that the contents are now utilized.
Perform the following steps to copy the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways installation kit contents to the mainframe:
Extract the compressed file to a folder on a computer running Microsoft Windows.
Open the Command console on the Windows computer.
Type FTP and the name of the mainframe computer where you want to connect. This creates an FTP connection to the mainframe machine. You may have to enter a user name and password to use the machine.
Type bin to transfer binary data.
Enter the following command to transfer the data from the .KIT file to the mainframe computer:
put transmit.kit '[INSTROOT].transmit.kit' (replace
where:
transmit.kit is the name of your installation file.
(replace ensures that any data on the volume where the kit is installed is overwritten.
Enter the following command to transfer the data from the .LOAD file to the mainframe computer:
put transmit.load '[INSTROOT].transmit.load' (replace
Close the FTP connection.
Perform the following steps to install Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways:
From within TSO, run the following command at the TSO prompt:
RECEIVE INDSNAME('INSTROOT.TRANSMIT.KIT')
where INSTROOT represents the high-level qualifier you want to assign to the Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways installation. The default value is AC10131.
Note:
You can use more than one high-level qualifier (such asACME.DEV.AC10131) with the following conditions:
The total length must be less than twenty characters.
The words transmit and buildkit cannot be used as high-level qualifiers.
Enter the following command when prompted for the restore parameters:
da('INSTROOT.TRANSMIT.LIB') [UNIT (unit), VOLUME (volume)]
This extracts the INSTROOT.TRANSMIT.LIB library from the INSTROOT.TRANSMIT.KIT kit to the specified unit and volume. If a unit and volume are not specified, the library is extracted to the current unit and volume.
Run the PREPARE member of the [INSTROOT].TRANSMIT.LIB library:

The installation is completed. All JCL jobs and REXX procedures are included in the INSTROOT.USERLIB library. INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier for the installation.
The following postinstallation tasks must be done to work with Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways:
Setting Up Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways for Reentrancy
Setting Up Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways to Update VSAM, IMS, or Adabas Data
Perform the following tasks after completing the installation to configure Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways:
Allocate a dataset for INSTROOT.DEF.BRANDBIN, using 1 track and with RECFM=VB and LRECL=256. The block size is 6233.
INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed.
Using FTP, copy the brand.bin file to INSTROOT.DEF.BRANDBIN on the mainframe in binary.
Change the following line in the ATTDAEMN script to include the IP address and port of the IBM z/OS platform.
For example, before:
// PARM='-B START IRPCDINI'
After:
// PARM='-B -L ip_address:2551 START IRPCDINI'
Where ip_address is the IP address of the computer, 2551 is the default port for starting the daemon and IRPCDINI is the default daemon configuration.
Move the INSTROOT.USERLIB(ATTDAEMN) and INSTROOT.USERLIB(ATTSRVR) members to any active proclib (such as user.proclib). ATTDAEMN and ATTSRVR are run as started tasks.
If you decide to change the name of the ATTSRVR member when you move it to a general high-level qualifier, then change the name specified in the StartupScript parameter in the daemon configuration to the new name:
Run INSTROOT.USERLIB(NAVCMD) and enter EDIT DAEMON IRPCDINI at the prompt.
Change the startupScript parameter from ATTSRVR to the new name for the server as follows, where [NEW_NAME] is the new name that you chose for the server:
<Workspace name="Navigator"
startupScript="[NEW_NAME]"
serverMode="reusable"
... />
Exit and save the change.
Note:
If you change the name of theATTSRVR member, make sure to use this new name in all related tasks.Define the LOADAUT library as an APF-authorized library.
To use the global transactions capability, define every steplib library in the ATTSRVR JCL as an APF-authorized library. Make sure that the libraries are APF-authorized after each IPL.
If you want to use transactions, make sure that RRS is installed.
Note:
To define a data set as APF-authorized, in the SDSF screen, enter the following command, wherevolume_name is the volume where the data set is allocated:
"/setprog apf,add,dsn=[data_set_name],volume=[volume_name]"
If the site uses SMS, enter the following command when defining APF-authorization in the SDSF screen:
"/setprog apf,add,dsn=[data_set_name],SMS"
The ATTDAEMN, ATTSRVR, and NVIMSSRV started tasks need permission to use an OMVS TCP/IP stack. The owner must be a user with OMVS segment defined and OMVS UID= 0000000000.
In the security manager, such as RACF, create the STARTED class general resource profiles ATTDAEMN, ATTSRVR, and NVIMSSRV. These profiles need to have the following permissions:
Permission to issue master console commands.
START authority for both profiles.
Access to an OMVS segment (that defines access to TCP/IP OMVS sockets).
ALTER authority on datasets under INSTROOT.hlq (to access to read, write, allocate and delete datasets under INSTROOT.hlq).
The installation includes the data set INSTROOT.DEF.GBLPARMS, which contains global environment information. This data set is read at startup and the correct software version is used, based on the details provided in the startup task.
If you change the location of this data set, then you must also change the relevant DD card in the used started tasks and scripts.
The input during the installation procedure is written to INSTROOT.BUILDKIT.SRC(PARS2). You can use this file to provide the same inputs if you rerun the installation, where INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier you assign for the installation.
Consult TCP/IP documentation for information about specifying Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways as the service using port 2551 in the TCP/IP network services file.
Activate INSTROOT.USERLIB(ATTDAEMN) as a started task to invoke the daemon. For example, in the SDSF screen, enter the following:
'/s ATTDAEMN'
INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed.
To submit the daemon as a job, uncomment the first two lines of the ATTDAEMN JCL, change the PARM line as described earlier, and run the job using the subcommand. The ATTDAEMN JCL is similar to the following:
//*ATTDAEMN JOB 'RR','TTT',MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=A, //* MSGCLASS=A,NOTIFY=&SYSUID,REGION=8M //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IRPCD, // PARM='-B START IRPCDINI' //* PARM='-B -L :8883 START' //STEPLIB DD DSN=INSTROOT.LOADAUT,DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //GBLPARMS DD DSN=INSTROOT.DEF.GBLPARMS,DISP=SHR // EXEC PGM=IRPCD,COND=((1,EQ,STEP1),(2,EQ,STEP1)), // PARM='-KATTDAEMN START ''INSTROOT.DEF.IRPCDINI''' //STEPLIB DD DSN=INSTROOT.LOADAUT,DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //GBLPARMS DD DSN=INSTROOT.DEF.GBLPARMS,DISP=SHR //SYSDUMP DD DUMMY
All Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways load modules are reentrant to enable subtasking. Therefore, move INSTROOT.LOAD to the Link Pack Area (LPA), where INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed.
Using the LPA reduces real storage usage (because everyone shares the LPA copy) and fetch time.
Note:
If you intend to use impersonation—the ability of a server to execute in a security context that is different from the context of the process that owns the server—, do the following:Place the INSTROOT.LOAD(ATYSVCW) member in an APF-authorized library outside the LPA.
Change the ATTSRVR member (located in the active proclib), by adding the following to the STEPLIB list:
// DD DSN=apf_library,DISP=SHR
Where apf_library is the APF-authorized library outside the LPA where the ATYSCVW member was moved.
If you did not set up CICS during the installation, do the following to work with CICS:
Add the DD card that defines the CICS EXCI load library to the steplib of the ATTSRVR started task.
ATTSRVR is located in both INSTROOT.USERLIB and an active proclib (such as USER.PROCLIB).
Add the CICS EXCI load library to the TASKLIB list of the REXX procedures NAVCMD and NAVSQL of the INSTROOT.USERLIB, as follows:
ALLOCATE DDNAME(TASKLIB) DA(...[CICS_EXCI_load_library]...) SHR
For the IRC (Inter Region Communication) to start, IRCSTRT=YES must be defined in the CICS initialization parameters, as specified in Software Requirements for Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways.
By default, Oracle Studio for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways sets the VTAM netname for CICS data sources to ATYCLIEN.
You can set up ATYCLIEN by doing one of the following:
Use the JCL in the INSTROOT.USERLIB(CICSCONF) member to submit the DFHCSDUP batch utility program to add the resource definitions to the DFHCSD dataset (see the IBM CICS Resource Definition Guide for further details).
Use the instream SYSIN control statements in the INSTROOT.USERLIB(CICSCONF) member as a guide to defining the resources online using the CEDA transaction.
If you work intend to work with the IMS-DBCTL data source, initialize the EXCI by using the CDBC transaction.
If you want to use the IMS/DBDC data source, you need to check your OTMA configuration. If the OTMA is not configured, perform the following procedure:
If OTMA is not installed, install it using the IMS INSTALL/IVP Dialog.
Set the startup parameter in the IMS startup procedure to OTMA=Yes.
In addition, set OTMA-related parameters such as GRNAME= for the XCF group name and OTMANM= for the IMS member name in that XCF group, as in the following example:
EDIT IMS.PROCLIB(DFSPBIV1) - 01.03command ===>000082 AOIS =,000083 GRNAME=IMSATT01,000084 OTMA=YES,000085 MAXPST=000086 OTMANM=
Add an entry in the program properties table (PPT) for the OTMA C/I initialization program by editing the SCHEDxx member of the SYS1.PARMLIB dataset and adding the following entry:
PPT PGMNAME(DFSYSVI0) /*PROGRAM NAME =DFSYSVI0 */CANCEL /*PROGRAM CAN BE CANCELED */KEY(7) /*PROTECT KEY ASSIGNED IS 7 */SWAP /*PROGRAM IS SWAPPABLE */NOPRIV /*PROGRAM IS NOT PRIVILEGED */DSI /*REQUIRES DATA SET INTEGRITY */PASS /*CANNOT BYPASS PASSWORD PROTECTION */SYST /*PROGRAM IS A SYSTEM TASK */AFF(NONE) /*NO CPU AFFINITY */NOPREF /*NO PREFERRED STORAGE FRAMES */
Do one of the following for the SCHEDxx changes to take effect:
Execute IPL.
Issue the SET SCH= command.
Edit and submit the following JCL procedure to run DFSYSVI0 after the IPL to initialize OTMA C/I:
//OTMAINIT PROC RGN=3000K,SOUT=A,/PARM1=//*//IEFPROC EXEC PGM=DFSYSVI0,//REGION=&RGN//*//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,UNIT=SYSDA,//DSN=IMSVS.RESLIB//*//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=&SOUT//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=&SOUT//*
It is recommended to add the step for running this program to the IMS/TM started task.
You can set up Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways to directly update VSAM, IMS/DB, or Adabas data. The setup procedure depends on whether your data source runs under CICS or not. Perform the relevant task.
To set up Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways so that you can update VSAM data from a CICS transaction
Copy the UPDTRNS load module from INSTROOT.LOAD to a CICS user load library and then define the UPDTRNS program under CICS using any available group:
CEDA DEF PROG(UPDTRNS) G(group_name) LANG(C) DA(ANY) DE(ORACLE data source UPDATE PROG)
Where INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed and data source is VSAM.
After defining the UPDTRNS program to a group, install it as follows:
CEDA IN G(group_name)
To set up Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways so that you can update IMS/DB data from a CICS transaction
Copy the ATYDBCTL load module from INSTROOT.LOAD to a CICS user load library and then define the ATYDBCTL program under CICS using any available group:
CEDA DEF PROG(ATYDBCTL) G(group_name) LANG(C) DA(ANY) DE(ORACLE data source UPDATE PROG)
Where INSTROOT is the high-level qualifier where Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is installed and data source is IMS.
After defining the ATYDBCTL program to a group, install it as follows:
CEDA IN G(group_name)
