BMC AMI Fast Path for IMS^™

With BMC AMI Fast Path solutions you can:

• Reorganize only the parts of the database that need reorganization
• Dramatically reduce logging overhead for online reorganizations
• Change the structure of a DEDB while it is online: add, remove, or resize areas; change randomizing routines; modify segment lengths; create SDEP segments; or add segments at the end of hierarchical paths

Ensure recoverability – even during an IMS cold start

• Back up DEDBs with no outage and ensure recoverability and integrity
• Provide robust image copy options including stacked image copy data sets, multiple output image copies, and compressed output image copies
• Analyze the area during image copy
• Ensure the integrity of IMS databases and system data sets during the restart of an IMS control region

Maximize availability, performance, and integrity for Fast Path databases, and improve throughput by enabling indexing.

• Analyze DEDBs performance, space usage, and physical attributes with no outage
• Gain insight into DEDB status by viewing interactive displays of current and historical information about jobs, databases, database partitions, data sets, and segments
• Model the effect of a potential DEDB change before implementing it
• Increase transaction throughput with direct access to data by implementing secondary indexes
