IMS Cloning Tool – Faster, automated IMS cloning and refresh operations
Available in replay for your convenience, register now.
Developed for: Management and technical database administrators, and IMS system programmers
Technical Level: Basic - Intermediate
Refreshing databases periodically is part of the job, and necessary to create test and quality assurance environments, or to offload business processes from production environments. But even planned outages can impact business because of the time required to copy data — and IMS™ databases are no exception. It simply takes too long to clone them. The time lag impacts other areas of IT as well. How can you keep production and test environments at the same level
when each one can take hours to back up? There needs to be a more efficient way to refresh databases that uses fewer host resources.
Join us for this complimentary teleconference to learn how the IMS Cloning Tool for z/OS® automates, simplifies and speeds up IMS system cloning and database refresh operations while reducing administration and processing costs. Traditional IMS cloning methods are slow, use large amounts of host processing resources and require a separate LPAR to support the cloned IMS system. Today’s storage-based fast replication facilities allow IMS data to be copied instantaneously, and without using host CPU or I/O resources.
In this teleconference, we’ll show you how the IMS Cloning Tool for z/OS can help:
- Reduce administration costs through fast and automated replication that is executed in a safe and transparent manner
- Reduce host CPU and I/O resource utilization because the copy process is done in the storage processor
- Copy data instantaneously; clone data in minutes; clone IMS systems in less than an hour
- Create a copy of production data without sacrificing data availability
Speakers: Margaret Wilson, IMS Tools Market Manager, IBM Software Group and Kelly Smith, Product Manager, Rocket Software
This teleconference will also be available for replay after the event.
