Audience
The primary audience includes users who want a basic understanding of the IMS Database (IMS DB) and IMS Transaction Manager (IMS TM) products. Additionally data processing individuals who work with an IMS system whether Database (DB) Database/Data Communications (DB/DC) or Database Control Subsystem (DBCTL). Learners should be able to describe the fundamentals of data processing including the function of operating systems access methods and Job Control Language (JCL). These skills can be obtained from on-the-job experience.
