Making Your IMS Ready for Year 2000: Migrating to IMS Version 5

Our goal in writing this redbook is to provide sufficient information to customers
running IMS Version 4 or earlier to allow them to migrate their systems to IMS
Version 5. IMS Version 5 is the first release of IMS that allows your applications
to continue to function after December 31, 1999.

Now that the IMS/ESA Year 2000 Local DL/I Limited Offering is generally
available, we also have included information on this option for migration to a
Year-2000-ready IMS level.

In this book, we provide
- Advice and guidance on the important issues associated with migration
- Several practical examples to describe what you need to do to perform the
upgrade
- A checklist of migration tasks
- A sample project plan.

This redbook does not include information about how to use the new functions
IMS has added over the years in its various versions. IMS manuals, especially
the Release Planning Guides, already provide this information. Also, we do not
discuss the issues associated with the applications themselves. For further
information, please refer to the IBM Year 2000 home page on the Internet at
http://www.ibm.com/IBM/year2000.

This redbook was written for systems programmers and database administrators
who need to upgrade their IMS systems to a level that can continue to support
their business after the year 2000.

Some knowledge of IMS is assumed, but not a lot. People who are just learning
about IMS should not be deterred from migrating their systems.
