GSE UK Conference 2008

"Be Recognized"

Abstract:

Over the past few years, the IMS developers in the Silicon Valley Lab have produced a steady number of enhancements and new functions that were not announced as part of a new IMS release, but which have been made available as PTFs. Consequently, they have slipped quietly into the product, and may have escaped your notice. They cover a broad range of IMS components - DL/1, HALDB, Fastpath, DBRC, data sharing, CSL, and so on. Some enhancements look very useful, others are more esoteric. IMS 10 in particular has had significant new function added by PTF, and there is more still to come. This presentation reviews the most significant functional enhancements that have been delivered through the service process for IMS 9 and 10, and summarises what is still planned for IMS 10.

Alan Cooper is an IMS Consultant in the IBM Software Business, and is based in Newcastle, UK.

He features on the agenda of many IBM and GSE IMS-related technical conferences in Europe, assists with the IMS Early Support Programme, and travels widely to help customers working on the leading edge of IMS technology.
