What our QPP clients are saying about IMS 13
7
“The…IMS 13 migrations have been really easy to implement and have run very
smoothly. I have been really impressed by the ease of installing the new version and
shipping it to our systems.…..A big ‘well done’ to your team."
– United Kingdom-based Bank
“The control region CPU was reduced about 7% per
transaction.
The time waiting for the IMS log latch was reduced 90% per
transaction.
The number of WADS I/Os per transaction dropped 14%.”
“TI was able to get IMS 13 installed across all of our test and
development environments during QPP….This is the fastest we’ve
ever installed a new IMS post GA.”

GAD ran many QPPs in the past in different areas
– Hardware, MVS, VTAM, NetView, z/OS, DB2, IMS
– First IMS QPP at GAD was IMS 2.1 introducing XRF
• Real intensive testing of XRF running real production like workload with
TPNS
GAD participated in almost all IMS QPPs
– Only skipped IMS 4.1 and IMS V10
In the past 3 IMS releases all systems (development and production) migrated
before GA
In 2013 GAD ran IMS V13, DB2 V11, and z/OS 2.1 QPPs in parallel

IMS 13 Fast Path Scalability
Using an IMS Fast Path
based workload IMS 13
demonstrates
– Higher efficiency (ITR)
– Reduced contention
– Greater Scalability
in CPU service time per transaction across a range
of transaction rates
14-28% Reduction
ITR (Internal Throughput Rate) = actual transaction rate divided by CPU % utilization

Future Directions
Enhance/Extend the capabilities of IMS TM with DB2
– Performance & TCO
– ESAF enhancements
– New capabilities
• For example: Large attachments with DB2 BLOB for immutable picture/image files,
signatures, and documents, etc.
Continued modernization of the IMS System
– Continue enhancing integration & modernization
• Cloud, Mobile, and Internet integration with IMS
– Security context propagation for enhanced auditability in a distributed environment
– Continue to provide analytics for IMS
– Continue to provide graphical tooling to develop, deploy and manage both IMS and its
applications in support of IBM's "One UI Strategy“
– Continue dynamic capabilities & eliminate planned outages
• Planned outage reduction
– Cloud provisioning enablement with IMS
• Agile development, deployment, and packaging models
– Aggressively pursue full integration with strategic portfolio offerings

IMS Planned Outage Reduction Strategy
Remove planned outages that have a noticeable impact to the end user.
(i.e. our customer’s clients)
–Remove requirements to restart IMS
–Remove requirements to stop DBs
–Remove requirements to stop transactions/programs
Focus on most significant impacts
–Not all causes need to be removed
–Customer feedback helps prioritize
•Lack of dynamic DB changes clearly highest priority
•Focus in roadmap are the top causes from customers
Focus on infrastructure to facilitate dynamic changes
–Removal of SYSGEN
–Load from Catalog
Reduce IMS Shutdown/Restart time for when it is required

“…every subject was successfully covered by the most
appropriate expert. While I was there at SVL, the program
was flexible enough so we could address certain topics
which I personally identified, that would benefit me at my
home location...”
Sessions include: Installation, HALDB features, OTMA and IMS
Connect, application topics, and MORE!
Formal and informal classes taught by IMS engineers
Helps you quickly grow IMS skills
Should have at least 2-3 years of IMS experience
Contact Tori Gonzalez for more information
gotori@us.ibm.com
IMS Customer Internship Program
“…a unique experience, where I was given the
opportunity to meet with the IMS developers and
testers at the IBM Lab, and work side by side with
them… It's incredible to meet people whose work
is known worldwide.”
