Smart/RESTART Suite (including Smart/RESTART and Smart/RRSAF) delivers robust checkpoint and restart functionality for mission-critical z/OS batch workloads. It enables applications to resume execution near the point of failure, maintaining resource consistency across Db2, MQ, IMS, VSAM, and other RRS-compliant resources. This minimizes downtime, improves z/OS concurrency and availability, and simplifies recovery without complex restart logic or operational procedures. Dynamic adjustment of commit frequency and interval further enhances performance without requiring application changes. Features:
- Checkpoint restart for z/OS batch applications: Easily adds restart capability to new and existing applications.
- Multi-resource support: Maintains consistency across Db2, MQ, IMS, VSAM, and other RRS-compliant resources.
- Sysplex ready: Enables restarting failed applications on other LPARs within a Sysplex.
- Dynamic adjustment: Allows adjusting commit frequency and interval without application changes.
- Improved z/OS concurrency and availability: Reduces recovery time by eliminating the need to redo processed work.
- Simplified Db2 batch: Improves Db2 batch application performance, accounting, and problem determination.
