Workshop: IMS073 - IMS Parallel Sysplex & IMS Data Sharing

---

Prerequisites

You should have visited the IMS Systems programming (IMS041) course, or have equivalent knowledge. Knowledge of IMS databases, IRLM and DBRC is required. (IMS002, IMS003)

Description

This course describes IMS data sharing concepts and explains how IMS uses the Parallel Sysplex to provide enhanced availability, enhanced capacity and to balance your workload. Guidelines how to implement and to operate an IMS Parallel Sysplex are part of the course as well.

Objectives

• Define IMS subsystems, IRLMs, and Coupling Facilities to setup IMS block level data-sharing
• Design recovery procedures for failures in the block level data-sharing environment
• Monitor the performance of a block level data-sharing environment
• Explain IRLM and Coupling Facility roles in supporting block level data-sharing.
• Setup a Shared Message Queue environment.
• Implement the Common Service Layer.
• Setup VTAM Generic Ressources.

Content

The course is structured to teach IMS Block Level Data Sharing for all relevant job tasks. It is primar­ily aimed for Parallel Sysplex implementations with IRLM. Necessary aspects of the relevant hardware and zOS facilities are covered to enable successful implementation of IMS BLDS.
Overview of Data-sharing Functions

• Locking, Buffer Invalidations and Notifications
• Utilities
• Normal Operations, Recovery Operations
• Monitoring and DiagnosticsTools
• Performance considerations
• Batch considerations

IMS Architecture in view of parallel sysplex

• Shared message queues
• CQS and CSL architecture
• VTAM Generic Ressources
• Data-sharing Configurations and Migration
