IMS High Performance System Generation Tools for z/OS


Information Management software
Overview
  • Do you have problems managing your IMS sysgen because it has become large and unmanageable?
  • Can you perform updates to IMS without an outage?

IMS High Performance Sysgen Tools for z/OS offers an integrated solution that helps reduce the requirement for IMS sysgens. With IMS HP Sysgen Tools, database administrators (DBAs) and system programmers have reliable, easy-to-use IMS management tools to make application resource changes faster using fewer resources.

IMS HP Sysgen Tools contains a Resource Update List which provides the capability to define a set of IMS sysgen changes (update, add, or delete databases, programs, transactions, or route codes), and verifies that the changes are compatible with a specific IMS subsystem's configuration, and installs the changes in an IMS subsystem.

Key Features
  • Provides IMSplex support with the capability to simultaneously update multiple IMS control regions when executing a resource update list.
  • Has the capability to undo a resource update list. Enhancements to the IMS HP Sysgen Tools history log provide the capability to select individual resource changes to be undone.
  • Contains additional options for reverse sysgen, including the capability to select either in-core control blocks or MODBLKS data set resource definitions.
  • Provides an enhanced Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) IMS command interface.
  • Can issue IMS commands as part of the installation of a resource update list.
  • Contains IMS storage display and zap which provides the capability to display and alter IMS control blocks and storage. A storage map provides z/OS virtual storage boundaries and percent utilization for common storage areas.
  • Has the ability to dynamically update Security Maintenance Utility (SMU) definitions for transaction command authorization, command and transaction security for logical terminal (LTERM) names, and application group name (AGN) resource definitions.
  • Reloads ACBLIB definitions for database descriptions (DBDs) and program specification blocks (PSBs) without using online change for ACBLIB.
  • Generates a resource update list that will make IMS control blocks match IMS sysgen source macros.
