Hi All,
Is it possible to share the same userid between different users and all of them can logon to IMS Online at the same time ? Here we use IMS Connect to retrieve data from mainframe thru a GUI Screen and not all users have a mainframe userid. So we decided to have one single userid and hardcode it in the java program and use it for logging on. But this is not working.
Is there any parameter we need to specify while crating the userid to enable it for multiple logon ?

Thanks
Sreejith

The SGN parameter (either in the IMS EXEC statement or in the DFSPBxx member) must be set to M, G or Z for multiple signon. If this is the case, then it should not be a problem signing on multiple times from IMS Connect as long as the clientid is unique. If you are using the sample JAVA application, look at SampleTran.java - the code sets it to the userid which is a problem because these have to be unique. Try setting it to the machine name or even a random number.

Other things you should also do:

In the config file, set the MAXSOC value to the maximum value of 2000 as the default value of 50 is too low.

Also in the config file, make sure that you add the ECB=Y parameter if you can - this is a major performance boost.

Bithead,
Thanks for the reply. I will request the Sys. progs to check the SGN parameter. I don't have a clue where to look for this and I don't think I will have access rights to do this(client is a defence firm and we don't have access to anything useful). Any idea where to look for.

At the moment we use the same client-id. So may be that's one of the reason why we got into this problem.

I checked the MAXSOCC and ECB and bothe are set as you mentioned.

Thanks
