BMC RECOVERY PLUS for IMS

 

Business Challenge

Conventional recovery methods are costly and time-consuming due to job step and recovery point limitations. Only one database data set can be recovered per job step which adds elapsed time for serial recovery. Every recovery step reads change accumulation or log data sets. To recover multiple data sets, the same data is processed multiple times. Furthermore, you can only recover to a valid recovery point. Creating periodic recovery points can be disruptive in continuous availability environments.

Business Need

  • Recover a database to any point in time
  • Increase system availability
  • Automate recovery procedures, eliminating manual processing and the possibility of error
  • Recover multiple databases in one job step
  • Reduce costs incurred during system down time

Our Solution

RECOVERY PLUS for IMS is flexible enough to adapt to any recovery situation. You can perform full or roll-forward recovery for one or multiple databases. This product integrates with other BMC Software IMS database utilities to further enhance recovery performance. It supports full-function, partitioned, and Fast Path databases. Using RECOVERY PLUS for IMS saves you time and money by reducing overall recovery time.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Reduces downtime and increases availability after a failure by recovering DL/I databases and Fast Path DEDBs faster than the native IMS utility
  • Provides flexibility for handling all recovery situations by enabling true point-in-time recoveries while eliminating manual tasks
  • Reduces overall elapsed time and resource usage by recovering multiple databases in one pass of the log and change accumulation data sets
  • Reduces time and effort for preparing recovery JCL by automatically handling database authorization and allocation
