| Overview |
|
IBM DB2 Sort for z/OS, V1.1.0 (5655-W42) is a new DB2 tool that provides high-speed utility sort processing for data stored in DB2 for z/OS. DB2 Sort for z/OS can help improve sorting performance while optimizing overall system efficiency through reduced elapsed time and CPU consumption, and improve memory management by exploiting the advanced facilities of the IBM z/OS operating system and IBM System z® server.
DB2 Sort for z/OS:
- Helps reduce elapsed time and CPU consumption by IBM utilities sort
- Allows flexibility to optimize utility sort processing
- Improves application availability by reducing the batch window for utility maintenance
DB2 Sort for z/OS, V1.1.0 includes a 64-bit API that facilitates information sharing between the sorting software and IBM products that invoke it. The API implements a handshaking algorithm that validates authorized callers and provides improved memory and sort workspace management. IBM DB2 Utilities Suite for z/OS, V9.1.0 (5655-N97) and IBM Utilities Suite for z/OS, V8.1.0 (5655-K61) are supported by the API.
This product is not designed to be a replacement for general purpose sorting products that are invoked through the standard z/OS system sort interface.
IBM IMS Recovery Expert for z/OS, V2.1.0 (5655-S98) is a storage-aware backup and recovery solution that integrates storage processor fast-replication facilities with IMS backup and recovery operations to allow instantaneous backups with no application downtime and to help reduce recovery time, and simplify disaster recovery procedures while using fewer CPU, I/O, and storage resources. The IMS Recovery Expert V2 product belongs to the family of IMS Tools that provides backup and recovery solutions.
IMS Recovery Expert V2 has integrated Intelligent Recovery and Disaster Recovery Managers that analyze recovery assets and establish optimal recovery procedures to help minimize recovery time and recovery point objectives. Recovery jobs are tailored specifically to available backup and hardware resources.
IMS Recovery Expert V2 validates backups to allow users to validate that all data has a backup and that the backup is recoverable. When a recovery needs to be performed, IMS Recovery Expert V2 determines the recovery assets to use, the recovery steps to run, and then manages the entire recovery process for an entire IMS system, an application, or database.
Further, IMS Recovery Expert V2 transforms disaster recovery into a disaster restart process, helping to reduce recovery time objectives (RTO). The tool simplifies and automates the backup, recovery, and disaster recovery processes.
A system backup can remain on disk for local recoveries or can be automatically offloaded to tape for local or remote recovery.
IMS Recovery Expert V2 provides the ability to automate the process of backing up entire IMS subsystems by volume. It also helps safeguard IMS applications and increases application availability with point-in-time recoveries.
IMS Recovery Expert V2 takes advantage of IBM Space Efficient FlashCopy®, IBM or STK Snapshot, and EMC TimeFinder/Snap virtual devices to create IMS system clones from the backups without using additional storage.
IMS Recovery Expert for z/OS, V2.1 can help you:
- Back up entire IMS systems nearly instantaneously with a significantly reduced likelihood of application downtime
- Recover more quickly and more easily using Intelligent Recovery Managers for local and remote recovery support
- Reduce recovery time and complexity with faster restore and parallel recovery (log apply)
- Support efforts to reduce storage costs by utilizing one backup for multiple purposes
- Reduce the effort required to accomplish IMS backup and recovery management through an easier-to-use ISPF interface
- Use fewer CPU, I/O, and tape resources than image copy
- Identify assets and prepare files and JCL for a more successful disaster recovery or disaster restart
- Automatically perform backup validation to achieve more successful recoveries
- Document compliance efforts against internal requirements or federal regulations
- Reduce recovery time objectives by transforming disaster recovery into a disaster restart process
- Eliminate backup windows and extend batch processing windows by eliminating many image copies
- Perform IMS system cloning operations from a system-level backup without increasing storage for the clone when using space-efficient technologies
IMS Recovery Expert for z/OS, V2.1 offers the following key features:
- Automatically identifies volumes for a more complete IMS system backup.
- Creates instant point-in-time backups of an entire IMS system without having to take the system offline or make it unavailable.
- Provides extensive backup validation to verify that IMS files and catalog structures are in the backup to enhance chances of a successful recovery.
- Keeps track of information and options that help perform a system-level backup of individual IMS systems in its metadata repository.
- Provides support for IBM, EMC, and HDS storage and fast replication processes.
- Performs application-level -- database, index, or groups of databases and indexes -- recovery from a system backup.
- Helps you recover more quickly from a disaster by restoring a complete system without requiring you to coordinate individual database recoveries. It transforms traditional IMS disaster recovery procedures into a tape-based disaster restart process.
- Provides a familiar, easier-to-use interface with more flexible options.
- Can save detailed and summary reports with IBM IMS Tools Base for z/OS.
- Allows you to copy system-level backups to tape or disk, including offsite disk, for subsequent restore when required.
- Creates a system-level backup that can be used for system recovery, application recovery, database recovery, or disaster recovery.
- Can invoke compression and encryption services when offloading data to or restoring data from tape using DFSMSdss™ or Innovation FDR to help reduce tape usage and better safeguard critical data.
- Provides the ability to back up and restore a subset of the IMS system.
- Integrates with IBM IMS Recovery Solution Pack for z/OS to help:
- Forward recover any IMS database or indexes
- Rebuild any nonrecoverable indexes
- Health check a RECON prepared for remote site recovery
- Create image copies and perform pointer validation of recovered databases and indexes
- Provide recovery asset validation at a remote recovery site

Accessibility by people with disabilities
A U.S. Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) containing details on accessibility compliance can be requested at
Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act
The products in this announcement are capable as of their general availability, when used in accordance with IBM's associated documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly interoperates with it.
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 wish 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 Web site
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.

Full-capacity mainframes
In cases where full capacity is applicable, the following terms apply.
Execution based, z/OS based, full machine based: The required capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms equals the MSU-rated capacity of the machines where the System z IPLA program executes.
For more information on mainframe MSU-rated capacities, visit
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 .
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 (and z/OS.e) 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 System/370™, System/390®, and System z Machine Exhibit (Z125-3901), or visit the Mainframes section of the System z Exhibits Web site
For more information on sub-capacity System z IPLA terms and conditions, refer to Software Announcement 204-184, dated August 10, 2004.
For additional information for products with reference-based terms, System z IPLA sub-capacity programs with reference-based terms adds value to the parent program 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:
- That meets the criteria defined in Hardware Announcement 198-001, dated January 13, 1998.
- 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:
