Hi Bala, the IMS CLI connects to a REST API that is enabled with the “IMS Operations API”. This needs to be installed on z/OS, the instructions are at [GitHub - zowe/ims-operations-api](https://github.com/zowe/ims-operations-api). Let us know how you get on and if you run into any problems or have more questions. Cheers !
