Browse and Sample IMS DL/I PSBs

Open IMS-DLI → Browse to load and assess PSBs. Load an individual PSB by name, or load all PSBs from the IMS Catalog in ACB mode or the configured PSB library otherwise.

The PSB table shows segment counts, operational and approved segments, and last sample status.

  1. Select one or more PSBs.
  2. Select Load samples to run a one-record read for each PSB.
  3. Review status: OK, Warning, or Failure.
  4. Select Approve only for fully operational PSBs, or Reject.

A Warning means the read completed but one or more segments returned no data. A Failure means the DL/I job failed. Select See logs to review the JES job ID, generated JCL, and resolved error details.

Load PSBs, check reachability, sample data, and approve healthy structures.
