Procedure

  1. Prerequisites
  2. Recommended Steps
  3. Customizing IMS Interface
  4. Installing the OTMA Message Routing
  5. Installing IVP System Definitions
  6. Executing IMS Interface IVPs
  7. Optional IMS Interface Items
  • Prerequisites
    IMS version 10 or later is necessary for interfacing with Substation ES.
  • Recommended Steps
    You can use the recommended steps to install the Substation ES IMS interface.
  • Customizing IMS Interface
    To install the IMS components for Substation ES, you have to customize IMS Interface by editing the data sets and selected members listed in the following steps. You must follow the instructions in the members and submit them for execution.
  • Installing OTMA Message Routing
    If you want to have messages routed through OTMA to Substation ES IMS Interface, you have to first set up the OTMA messaging routing. IMS transactions that did not originate through OTMA can route messages through OTMA to Substation ES.
  • Installing IVP System Definitions
    Before you perform the sample IVP installation steps and tests to verify the IMS Interface installation, first you have to set up the IVP system definitions.
  • Executing IMS Interface IVPs
    After installing and activating IMS Interface, you should execute the IMS Interface IVPs to verify your installation. By performing the sample IVP installation steps and tests, you can verify the bidirectional communication from and to your IMS system through Substation ES.
  • Optional IMS Interface Items
    Although executable modules are available as part of the installation, you can change the source code of the sample IMS Interface IVPs, which requires additional tasks.
