iMS database performance and tuning

By attending IMS Database Performance and Tuning workshop, Participants will learn to:

  • Analyze performance data about the IMS database environment
  • Choose IMS access methods that provide the best database performance
  • Improve performance by selecting database buffer pools and buffer pool options and with the correct data set access method and storage attributes
  • Implement the optimum performance options for VSAM data sets at define and execute time
  • Evaluate the need for secondary indexes and select implementation options to improve their performance
  • Choose physical database implementation options to improve performance
  • Select HDAM randomizing parameters that can improve the key randomization process

In IMS Database Performance and Tuning training course, delegates learn how to tune Information Management System (IMS) databases for use in IMS/Batch, IMS/Data Communications (DC), CICS-Local-Data Language One (DL/I), and Data Base Control (DBCTL) environments. They will explore the IMS database features that affect performance such as data set considerations and buffers for VSAM and OSAM.

  • Experience with the IMS database system.

This course is for individuals interested in the performance of the IMS Database System.
