IBM is enhancing IMS capabilities to provide insights from operational data. Key capabilities include reducing path length and contention to improve performance, enhancing reliability and reducing outages. IBM is also expanding IMS to support big data and analytics, as well as cloud and mobile access to IMS resources. These enhancements leverage and extend existing IMS investments.

that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including
considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream,
the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed.
Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results
similar to those stated here.

• IMS DB changes start with catalog
• IMS loads resource information from catalog
• ACBLIB/PSBLIB/DBDLIB updates will be the by-product of catalog updates
• Tools that use these libraries can continue to operate, but should
migrate to catalog

Dynamic database - Data Definition Language
SQL incorporates DDL to modify
the schema of a database
Authoring DDL is straight-forward
with sophisticated tooling support
in the industry
SQL/DDL can be used to
update/add metadata in the
catalog without the need of a GEN
– Directly update the catalog
IMS can be notified of such an
update and load the new
definitions
It is our intention to offer this type
of dynamic definition for IMS

Enhancing IMS analytics on System z with Big Data
• Much of the world’s operational data resides on z/OS
• Unstructured data sources are growing fast
• There is a need to merge this data with trusted OLTP data from
System z data sources
• IMS provides the connectors and the DB capability to allow BigInsights
v2.1.2.0 to easily and efficiently access the IMS data source
