pureQuery also provides an API that helps rapid development and
deployment of new enterprise database applications, significantly
reducing the development cost, time to market, or go-live cost for
customers. Applications developed using the pureQuery API show improved
performance due to the underlying pureQuery technology, such as static
execution of queries. Features of pureQuery, such as allowing additional
authorizations to run queries, help customers build more secure database
applications.
What's new in InfoSphere Optim pureQuery Runtime for z/OS, V3.1
- Nested Query Beans, a feature that eases development of application
code which executes and handles results from an SQL statement with
joins
- A feature that simplifies moving of database applications which
use pureQuery in an enterprise from test to production environments
- Performance improvements that make it possible to capture application
SQL statements with low overhead
- Features that help leverage the Literal Substitution functionality
for a larger variation of SQL statements and the ability to create
a capture file by importing SQL statements from the InfoSphere Optim Workload
Query Tuner product
- The ability to remove SQL statements invalidated due to schema
changes from the capture file
- Application development enhancements that reduce the need for
the user to write custom code and deployment enhancements that include

InfoSphere Optim pureQuery Runtime for z/OS is a database access platform
used by database application developers and database administrators
to help improve performance, enhance security, and speed up application
development.
pureQuery delivers benefits to customers in two ways: the first
is through its Client Optimization component and the second is through
the development and runtime components.
The Client Optimization component captures the SQL statements run
by existing applications and provides a number of features that help
improve the performance of these SQL statements while providing insight
into their usage by the database applications.
pureQuery delivers improved performance with its Client Optimization
by converting dynamic SQL statements normally used by a JDBC, CLI,
or .NET application to static SQL. It can automatically convert literal
values in SQL statements to parameter markers, enabling better statement
reuse and caching. pureQuery allows an administrator to specify an
alternate SQL statement in place of the one used in the application.
Insight into the applications that are running is provided by features
that make it possible to track SQL statements directly back to the
originating application code.
pureQuery provides development and runtime components to help developers
rapidly develop (generate) new application code that simplifies the
coding needed to execute SQL statements and handles the results that
come back from such execution. This is done by generating Java code that provides convenience
methods to set SQL parameters and generate Java classes that represent results coming back
from such SQL statements. The generated code employs best coding
practices and built-in performance enhancements.
pureQuery integrates tightly with IBM Data
Studio and aids rapid application development by providing a user
friendly graphical interface that generates pureQuery enabled application
and test code needed to retrieve and process data from databases.
Version 3.1 delivers features that enhance the two major components
of InfoSphere Optim pureQuery Runtime for z/OS:
- The Nested Query Beans feature helps lower the cost of customer
application development that involves use of complex Java objects to process results from SQL queries
containing joins. Version 3.1 automates the generation of Java code needed to create nested
beans that replicate the relational structure of the result data returned
by SQL queries with joins.
- A utility that translates location and schema names in captured
SQL statements to ease moving applications deployed with pureQuery
from test environments to production environments in an enterprise.
This translation utility is useful as location and schema names usually
differ between test environments where SQL capture is typically done
and production environments where the captured SQL statements are
used to enable static execution.
- New capture mode with lower processing overhead that makes capturing
in a production environment possible. Another capture mode introduced
makes it possible for users to identify SQL statements encountered
that have not been captured before and hence do not execute statically.
This release offers a new mode that captures more application information
than the modes available in previous versions of pureQuery.
- Literal substitution enhancements make it possible to handle a
larger number of captured SQL statements containing literals than
was possible in the previous releases. This release also makes it
possible to create a capture file using SQL statements imported from
the InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner.
- Application development enhancements that help to reduce the need
for the user to write custom code and deployment enhancements that
include binder improvements and the ability to define group-level
properties.
- A feature that provides the user with the ability to remove SQL
statements from the capture file that have become obsolete or have
been invalidated due to changes in schema or tables originally used
by the SQL.
- Low-impact logging for the pureQuery Runtime component that makes
it possible to leave logging on in a production environment. Logging
into the pureQuery repository has also been introduced.
- New command line scripts that function like macros and enhance
usability of pureQuery utilities by consolidating and combining them,
thus reducing the number of steps to complete a given operation.

Value Unit-based pricing
Value Unit pricing for eligible IBM System z® IBM International Program License Agreement (IPLA)
programs enables a lower cost of incremental growth and enterprise
aggregation. Each System z IPLA
product with Value Unit pricing has a single price per Value Unit
and a conversion matrix, called Value Unit Exhibit, for converting
from some designated measurement to Value Units. Most commonly, Millions
of Service Units (MSUs) is the measurement designated by IBM to be converted to Value Units. Some other
measurements are engines or messages. Since MSUs are the most common
measurement, that measurement will be used for the remainder of this
description.
Value Unit pricing offers price benefits for you. For each System z IPLA program with
Value Unit pricing, the quantity of that program needed to satisfy
applicable IBM terms and conditions
is referred to as the required license capacity. Each of the
various Value Unit Exhibits stipulate that the larger your required
license capacity, the fewer Value Units per MSU you will need. Value
Unit Exhibits are uniquely identified by a three-digit code and referred
to using the nomenclature VUExxx, where xxx is the three-digit code.
Subsequent acquisitions of Value Unit priced programs offer additional
price benefits. The quantity of each System z IPLA program that you have acquired
is referred to as entitled license capacity. If you want to
grow your entitled license capacity for a System z IPLA program, the calculation to
determine additional needed Value Units is based upon the number of
Value Units already acquired.
For each System z IPLA
program with Value Unit pricing, you should:
- Determine the required license capacity, in MSUs
- Aggregate the MSUs across the enterprise
- Convert the total MSUs to Value Units, using the applicable Value
Unit Exhibit
- Multiply the price per Value Unit by the total number of Value
Units to determine the total cost
To simplify conversion from the designated measurement to Value
Units or vice versa, use the Value Unit Converter Tool. For additional
information or to obtain a copy of the Value Unit Converter Tool,
visit the Value Unit Converter Tool website
- http://ibm.com/zseries/swprice/vuctool
Note that Value Units of a given product cannot be exchanged, interchanged,
or aggregated with Value Units of another product.
To determine the required license capacity for the System z IPLA program you selected, refer
to the Terms and conditions section.

5655-W92 IBM Optim pureQuery execution-based
Runtime for z/OS sub-capacity
Sub-capacity mainframes
In cases where sub-capacity is applicable, the following terms
apply.
Execution based: The required capacity of a System z IPLA sub-capacity program with
these terms equals the capacity of the LPARs where the System z IPLA program executes.
z/OS based: The required
license capacity of a System
z IPLA program with these terms equals the license capacity of z/OS on the machines where the System z IPLA program executes.
Reference based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms equals
the license capacity of the applicable monthly license charge (MLC)
program. This MLC program is called the parent program.
Full machine based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with
full machine based terms equals the MSU-rated capacity of the machines
where the System z IPLA
program executes.
For more information on mainframe MSU-rated capacities, refer to The IBM System z Machines Exhibit, Z125-3901,
or visit the Mainframes section of the System z Exhibits website

across the environment, regardless of where in the environment the System z IPLA program executes.
An environment is defined as either a single or stand-alone machine
or a qualified Parallel
Sysplex®. You may have one or more different environments across
the enterprise. To determine the required license capacity for each System z IPLA program with
referenced-based terms, each environment should be assessed separately.
When a System z IPLA
sub-capacity program with reference-based terms is used in a qualified Parallel Sysplex environment,
the required license capacity of the System z IPLA program must equal with the
license capacity of the parent program across the Parallel Sysplex. Qualified Parallel Sysplex refers
to one:
- Where MLC pricing is aggregated across the sysplex
Sub-capacity eligibility
To be eligible for sub-capacity charging on select System z IPLA programs, you must first implement
and comply with all terms of either sub-capacity Workload License
Charges (WLC) or sub-capacity Entry Workload License Charges (EWLC).
To implement sub-capacity WLC or EWLC, a machine must be System z (or equivalent).
On that machine:
- All instances of the OS/390® operating
system must be migrated to the z/OS operating
systems.
- Any licenses for the OS/390 operating
system must be discontinued.
- All instances of the z/OS operating
systems must be running in z/Architecture® (64-bit)
mode.
For that machine, you must create and submit a Sub-Capacity Report
to IBM each month. Sub-Capacity
Reports must be generated using the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool (SCRT).
For additional information or to obtain a copy of SCRT, visit the System z Software Pricing website
