Data Sensor components
Data Sensor consists of several components.
- FF Database Sensor, FP Database Sensor, and Recovery Sensor
- Data Sensor components are delivered in IMS Tools solution
packs; IMS Database Solution Pack, IMS Database Utility Solution, IMS Fast Path Solution Pack, and IMS Recovery Solution Pack.
- Data Sensor that can be used for full-function databases is delivered with IMS Database Solution Pack and IMS Database Utility Solution, and the component is referred to as Full-Function Database Sensor (also referred to as FF DB Sensor).
- Data Sensor that can be used for DEDBs is delivered with IMS Fast Path Solution Pack, and the component is referred to as Fast Path Database Sensor (also referred to as FP DB Sensor).
- Data Sensor that is delivered with IMS Recovery Solution Pack is referred to as Recovery Sensor. Recovery Sensor can collect statistics from the content of DBRC RECON data sets.
- Stand-alone Data Sensor and Integrated Data Sensor
- You can run a Data Sensor job as a stand-alone job, or you can include the FF DB Sensor or FP DB
Sensor process in the jobs of IMS Database Reorganization
Expert, IMS High Performance Image Copy, IMS High Performance Pointer Checker, and IMS High Performance Fast Path Utilities.
The following terms are used to distinguish the two forms of execution:
- DB Sensor Site Default Generation utilities (FF and FP DB Sensors)
- You can use the Site Default Generation utilities to set your own default values for the
Stand-alone DB Sensor runtime options.
The FF DB Sensor Site Default Generation utility is provided for FF Stand-alone DB Sensor, and the FP DB Sensor Site Default Generation utility is provided for FP Stand-alone DB Sensor.
- DB Sensor Printing utilities (FF and FP DB Sensors)
- You can use the DB Sensor Printing utilities to print the data element values that are stored in the IMS Tools KB Sensor Data repository in the Sensor Data Statistics report. By using this utility, you can analyze the most recent database statistics data.
