There are two IMS Captures, this checklist covers the tasks required to prepare the operating environment and configure the IMS Log Reader Capture. Before beginning these tasks however, the base product must be installed.
Note: If you are implementing the IMS TM Exit Capture there are additional prerequisite and different configuration tasks. You can however use this Quickstart for configuring the Daemon and Publisher if you prefer to use the recommended ISPF panel interface.
Make sure that the following installation and configuration tasks have been completed to prepare the environment:
Each of these steps are described in detail in the IMS z/OS Capture reference.
