Proactively manage IMS full-function databases and high-availability large databases (HALDBs) to ensure availability, data integrity, and performance. Solve issues with IMS databases reaching size limitations.

Simplify and automate full-function and HALDB maintenance

Through an intuitive web-based user interface, BMC AMI Full Function for IMS allows you to:

• Reorganize databases while they are online and available to applications
• Partition without the restrictions of HALDB
• Ensure data integrity
• Enable intelligent compression

Intelligently manage Full-Function and HALDB databases

Availability: Reorgs with no outage

Well-organized databases are essential for optimal application performance, but database reorganizations traditionally require lengthy outages. BMC AMI Full Function for IMS solutions enable you to reorganize – with virtually no downtime – so that your applications are available when your users need them. With these solutions you can:

• Reorganize databases while they are online and being updated
• Reorganize just the parts of a database that are causing performance problems
• Ensure optimal application performance with well-organized databases
• Save CPU resources by taking an image copy of the reorganized database as part of the reorg process

Agility: Ensure data integrity, implement compression, and partition full-function databases easily

BMC AMI Full Function for IMS solutions enable you to get the most from your IMS databases, regardless of which type of database structure you use.

• Proactively monitor database space usage, ensure data integrity and availability, and improve performance by identifying internal database problems
• Ensure data integrity by preventing online and batch programs from using the wrong IMS control block
• Reduce database reorganization and image copy run times by 30%-50% with compression that allows you to select the best compression method to match your data
• Implement database partitioning without the restrictions of HALDB
