Issuing DBRC commands

With DBCTL, you must issue DBRC commands via DBCTL console commands (/RMxxxxxx) because DBRC runs outside the CICS® address space. You can issue the /RMxxxxxx commands via the CICS-supplied transaction CDBM.

You can use the following /RMxxxxxx commands online:

For example:

/RMINIT DBRC='DB DBD(IVPDB2) SHARELVL(3)'.

See the IMS™ Operator’s Reference manual for further guidance on the syntax of these commands.

You can also enter DBRC commands in batch, but the syntax is slightly different, as shown in Figure 22.

Figure 22. Example JCL to register a database with DBRC
//INITDB JOB 1,PGMERID,CLASS=Q,MSGCLASS=A
//*
//RECON    EXEC PGM=DSPURX00,REGION=1000K
//STEPLIB  DD DSN=IMS.RESLIB,DISP=SHR
//DFSRESLB DD DSN=IMS.RESLIB,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//RECON1   DD DSN=IMS.RECON1,DISP=SHR
//RECON2   DD DSN=IMS.RECON2,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN    DD *
 INIT.DB DBD(IVPDB2) SHARELVL(3)
