FEATURE  A New Paradigm for IMS Database Reorganization The days of database maintenance occurring on a scheduled routine are over. Today the goal is to minimize the amount of database downtime, while maintaining performance. Another way to say this is "just enough, just in time." These drivers create the need for user-friendly, intelligent software that can perform the day-to-day tasks of monitoring, analyzing and recommending database maintenance. BMC MAXM Database Advisor for IMS analyzes IMS databases and recommends when to perform database maintenance. It can start the maintenance jobs automatically. Download the white paper. (pdf)
