This checklist covers the tasks required to prepare the operating environment and configure the IMS TM EXIT Data Capture. Before beginning these tasks however, the base Connect CDC (SQData) product must be installed.
An ISPF panel interface provides for a simplified implementation experience. While most of the steps below remain the same the IMS Quickstart Guide provides a tutorial approach to configuring the Log Reader Capture using the ISPF panels.
