Course Overview
The IMS Installation Workshop (CM059G) by IBM is an intermediate-level course designed for system programmers responsible for installing and maintaining IBM's Information Management System (IMS). While this course does not align with a specific certification exam, it delivers essential skills for professionals working in mainframe environments, particularly those in roles such as IMS Systems Programmer, Mainframe Database Administrator, and IT Infrastructure Specialist. With over 90% of Fortune 500 companies still relying on mainframe systems for critical operations, expertise in IMS remains in strong demand across banking, insurance, and large-scale enterprise sectors. Participants should have foundational knowledge of IMS fundamentals, Job Control Language (JCL), SMP/E, and ISPF/PDF editing to fully benefit from the curriculum.
This hands-on workshop covers core IMS installation components including Packaging and Installation, SMP/E Installation, IMS IVP Dialog, IMS Definition, and Migration Considerations. Students engage in practical lab exercises where they select and install an IBM-supported version of IMS, then execute the IMS Installation Verification Program (IVP) process in their preferred configuration—such as Database Control (DBCTL), Database/Data Communications (DB/DC), or DB/DC with Extended Recovery Facility (XRF). The lab environment leverages real mainframe infrastructure using ISPF, JCL, and SMP/E tools, simulating actual deployment scenarios. A key project involves performing a complete IMS sysgen setup and troubleshooting common installation issues, providing learners with direct experience in avoiding and resolving real-world implementation challenges.
Although the IMS Installation Workshop (CM059G) does not lead directly to an IBM certification, it strengthens technical competencies that support advanced IMS and z/OS administration credentials. Professionals with IMS installation and maintenance skills command competitive salaries, with senior mainframe administrators earning between $110,000 and $140,000 annually in North America, according to recent industry surveys. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning experience with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official IBM courseware, ensuring consistent delivery regardless of enrollment size. By mastering IMS installation through this course, attendees position themselves for advancement into senior system programming and mainframe modernization roles, contributing to the ongoing evolution of mission-critical enterprise systems.
