IBM Software Group


A Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is Key to providing an Integrated Environment for On Demand Solutions

• Packaging business functions from new and existing applications in a simple and standardized way creates services that are available for use

• Services are used to help get the right information to the right people at the right time

• Services can be reused and combined to deploy composite applications to address new opportunities

• Increasing use of “Web” services based on open standards complements existing services technology

IMS applications and data are enabled as Services

Services are the Building Blocks

zAAP – z/Series Application Assist Processor-- Lowering the cost of running Java applications

• Specialized processing unit for z890 and z990 processors– Requires z/OS 1.6

• Provides a highly strategic z/OS Java execution environment– Increases system productivity by reducing the

demands on general purpose processors, making capacity available for reallocation to other workloads.

– Allows Java workloads to run at a lower total cost of ownership

– Java workloads are transparently executed on the zAAP processors

• No requirement to change applications

IBM Software Group


Operations Management Requirements

ƒ Target Market– For customers requiring improved operations using the IMS Common Service Layer (CSL) to enter commands to IMS

ƒ Challenge–Allow command processing clients to send unsolicited messages through OM–Provide an audit trail for OM commands

ƒ Solution–Define a new AOI for unsolicited messages. –Create new log records for commands entered through OM API.

ƒ Value–Improved output and auditability for commands entered through the Single Point of Control (SPOC)

–Integration with other products

53

IBM Software Group


Systems Management Enhancements (SME) Target Market

ƒ IMSplex users using type-2 commandsƒ IMS users using Type-2 AOI exits or use Secondary Master logging

Challengesƒ Maintaining same command status in IMSplex while IMSs are down (Global Cmd Status)ƒ Allow user to enable/disable maintaining command status without a IMSplex outageƒ Queuing transactions to IMS from a Single point of Control (QUEUE commands)ƒ V9 type-2 DB commands need to address all functions of type-1 cmdsƒ Controlling IMS Secondary Master logging for msgs for all or specific system messagesƒ Completion code for type-2 commands does not explain the error

Solutionƒ Exploit RM to save global cmd status, propagate to unavail IMS when cmd issued during restart ƒ Add IMSplex wide parameter support without CMƒ Type-2 QUEUE TRAN | QUEUE LTERM commands from OM APIƒ OPTION(PFA) added to type-2 UPD DB and UPD AREA commands ƒ /SMCOPY MSG ON | OFF supportƒ Type-2 AOI Exit DFSAOE00 driven before a message is logged to the secondary master ƒ Add Completion Code text for error completion codes

Valueƒ Single System Image, simplified Systems Management with Single Point of controlƒ IMSplex wide parameter supportƒ Granular control of logging secondary master messageƒ type-2 DB commands equivalent to type-1 DB commands

• Dynamic commands to query and change resources • Quiescing of only affected resources

56

IBM Software Group


IMS Dynamic Resource Definition (DRD) RequirementsIncreased availability

Allows system to change dynamically for MODBLKS resources via a commandDATABASE, APPLCTN, TRANSACT, RTCODECan modify one, some or all resources at once

No need to cold start system to introduce new MODBLKS resourcesSystem is quiesced for only those resources to be changed

Adding a new application does not force all applications to quiesceChanging or deleting an existing application causes the specified application to quiesce in the system but does not affect any others

Allows transactions to be defined dynamically via a user exit

Increased productivity New User InterfacesEliminates system definition and generation using Assembler macrosReduces number of required user decision points Reduces the need for Assembler skills to define an IMS system

57

IBM Software Group


Additional Requirements• ACBLIB Member Online Change (OLC)

– Allows you to add or change one or more members of the ACBLIB without the need to perform an online change on the entire library.

– Makes online change for ACBLIB more usable and improves availability. – Only affected resources by member level online change are quiesced allowing

concurrent activity

• Program Serialization across the Sysplex– Expands serial program usage to all IMS systems – Requires CSL and IMS Resource Structure

• Transaction Level Statistics– Provides a new optional log record to reflect each transaction – Requires CSL for commands

• • •
