An ims profile is used to issue commands in the ims command group that interact with IMS regions. The ims profile contains your IMS Operations API web server host, port, user name and password, IMS Connect host and port and IMS plex name.

Usage

zowe profiles create ims-profile <profileName> [options]

• --host | -H (string)

  • The IMS Operations API server host name.

• --port | -P (number)

  • The IMS Operations API server port.

• --ims-connect-host | --ich (string)

  • The hostname of your instance of IMS Connect. This is typically the hostname of the mainframe LPAR where IMS Connect is running.

Examples

• Create a ims profile named 'ims123' to connect to IMS APIs at host zos123 and port 1490. The name of the IMS plex in this example is 'PLEX1' and the IMS region we want to communicate with has a host of zos124 and a port of 1491:

  • zowe profiles create ims-profile ims123 --host zos123 --port 1490 --user ibmuser --pass myp4ss --plex PLEX1 --ich zos124 --icp 1491 Copy
