BMP mode

When a Z Data Tools/IMS function is run in BMP mode, a batch message processing (BMP) program issues the DL/I calls. The BMP executes as a subtask of the ZDT/IMS function.

You use BMP mode when databases are online.

If you plan to run ZDT/IMS functions in BMP mode, you must specify the following details when you are customizing the ZDT/IMS installation options module:

The IDs of the IMS™ subsystems you plan to access in BMP mode.
The IMSBATCH parameters that are to be passed to the IMS™ region controller when accessing each subsystem.
The names of the RESLIB, IMS™ macros and DOPT ACBLIB data sets for each subsystem.
The names of the PSB, DBD and Template libraries for each subsystem.
Various processing options that you want the functions to use when accessing each subsystem in BMP mode.

For information on how you do this, see Customizing the ZDT/IMS installation options module.
