RELATED IDEAS

Allow for a single DVM subsystem to connect to multiple IMS subsystems.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently DBCTL access to IMS requires that an IMSID be provided in the DVM configuration file. This parameter is limited to a single value and therefore a DVM subsystem must be created for each IMS subsystem. In a single test environment, we could have over 100 IMS subsystems. Trying to manage a DVM subsystem, and the associated maps, for each would be extremely difficult. Conversely, when dealing with Db2, multiple Db2 subsystems can be accessed from a single DVM subsystem. Our proposal would be to allow the use of IMS Connect in order to access multiple IMS subsystems from a single DVM.
