You must create an IMS connection to connect to one or more IMS source files.
The PWX Reader that is on the system where the Secure Agent runs requires the connection information to move data from IMS source files.
You can create an IMS connection in Administrator or Data Integration, provided that your assigned user role allows this action. Use one of the following methods:
•In Administrator, click Connections on the navigation bar. On the Connections page, click New Connection and then enter connection details and properties for a connection that has the type of IMS.
•In Data Integration, when you create a mapping, click Source on the mapping canvas and then click Source in the Properties: Source panel. To create a connection, click New Connection and define a connection that has the type of IMS. Alternatively, if you previously defined an IMS connection, select it from the Connection list.
When you configure a connection, you must specify a runtime environment for the connection. The runtime environment must contain a Secure Agent with the status "Up and Running."
After you create an IMS connection, it becomes available for use within the organization and can be used in multiple mappings.
