Abstract:

This presentation looks at IMS 11 Database and Transaction Servers, for which the Quality Partnership Program starts in January 2009. It covers the new features including IMS Open Database for direct industry standard DRDA access to IMS databases; the ability to "Quiesce" databases to establish a consistent recovery point; ACBGEN usability enhancements; the Fast Path 64 bit buffer manager; new Type-2 Query commands for TM resources; a Transaction "Expiration" option; as well as the numerous OTMA, DBRC, IMS Database Manager and Transaction Manager enhancements.

Alison Coughtrie, from IBM Europe BetaWorks, Hursley, UK, is responsible for the IMS Quality Partnership Programs (QPPs) for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. During the QPP a small set of Customers implement future releases of IMS to validate the quality of the code prior to it being made generally available to the broader community. Alison has specialised in IMS over the past 25 years both as an IMS Customer and within IBM.
