Hi,

I modified an IMS DC(Message processing program) program and compile, linkedited successfully. When I go to IMS region and start my IMS transaction, it does not pick the latest load in the IMS pgmlib library. Do we need to refresh the program in IMS region? If yes what is the command or how do we do it?[/quote]

Hi Balasubra,

We need to refresh the loadlib. I usually recycle the region to pick the latest load modules.

Thanks,
Ram

Hi Ram,

When you say "recycle the IMS region" , do you mean bring down the concerned IMS region and again bring up that region?

Also, should we compile/link-edit the application program only after the region is stopped or is it that we can have the new loadlib ready and then go ahead with recylcling the region?

Please advice.

Yes! First you have to prepare the LOADLIB then recylce the region.

When you recycle the region that would pick up the latest loadlib.

Thanks,
Ram

Bringing down the MPR and bringing it up is one way refreshing the region. Is there any other way of doing it without bringing down and bringing up the MPR. May through a IMS DC operator command or somthing.

Hello Balasubra,

Try this if you are allowed to use commands below, otherwise ask to MTO:
/sto reg 1 2 3 ... (region # that matching with your transaction class)
/sta reg reg1 reg2 reg2 (region name)
or
/ass tran your-transaction-name class=1 (class # that region has that you never run in this region before)
or
wait until your program will page-out from region(s).
