BMC AMI Application Restart and VSAM Recovery

Optimize checkpoints and commits, eliminate the risk of restart errors, and automate VSAM recovery

Implement checkpoint and commit logic in batch Db2®, IMS™, and VSAM application programs – with no application changes – to reduce costs and ensure quicker restarts. Quickly recover VSAM files.

Restarting batch jobs has never been easier and VSAM is now supported like a database

Resume failed or interrupted batch applications from the most recent checkpoint rather than from the beginning of the job. Focus on the process of recovering data rather than the program that recovers the data.

  • Automatic checkpoint: Simplify and speed up the process of implementing checkpoint/restart logic into application programs

  • Optimal checkpoint logic: Modernize IMS and Db2 applications by modifying the frequency of checkpoints and commits

  • Program exception handling: Automatically redirects “bad” input data that causes S0C7 abends into a reject file and lets the application continue

  • Streamlined recovery: Focus on the process of recovering data rather than the program that recovers the data

  • Central point of control: Provides a central information repository for managing all backup, recovery, and journal processes

  • Automatic journal: Performs automatic journaling and backout of VSAM updates made by batch programs
