Hi,

I want to undergo a training in IMS DB/DC, however, dont have IMS available on our Educational System.

Is there a free IMS emulator (or is it simulator) available?

Regards,
Manoj.

An old question but have seen around many times, so I'll try...

I'd say, you are in the middle of license regulations. First thing you need is a working 'zOS' system -- Hercules can be your choice though.

As Hercules says,
Quote:
Hercules is an open source software implementation of the mainframe System/370 and ESA/390 architectures, in addition to the new 64-bit z/Architecture. Hercules runs under Linux, Windows (98, NT, 2000, and XP), and Mac OS X (10.3 and later).
It's availabe from http://www.hercules-390.org/

Getting a legal IMS license will not be that easy.

Hercules is not a "working z/OS system". It is a hardware emulator. IBM does not license z/OS to run on Hercules. Getting a z/OS license for Hercules will be "not that easy" also.
