Please note

IBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or

withdrawal without notice at IBM’s sole discretion.

Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product

direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.

The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise,

or legal obligation to deliver any material, code or functionality. Information about potential

future products may not be incorporated into any contract. The development, release, and

timing of any future features or functionality described for our products remains at our sole

discretion.

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM

benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance

that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including

considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream,

the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed.

Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results

similar to those stated here.

IMS 12 catalog

� Trusted IMS metadata information

� Comprehensive view of IMS database metadata (including application metadata) managed by IMS with standard access patterns (JDBC/SQL)

� Offers metadata discovery and exchange via IMS Open Database and the IMS Explorer for Application Development

� Scalable Open Database solution – large scale deployment into virtualized production and test environments

� Enables broad IMS integration into the IBM and non-IBM portfolio of tools (Optim Development Studio, Rational Asset Analyzer, InfoSphere Data Architect, etc)

IMS catalog – intended support

PSBLIB

Catalog

• IMS DB changes start with catalog

• IMS loads resource information from catalog

• ACBLIB/PSBLIB/DBDLIB updates will be the by-product of catalog updates

• Tools that use these libraries can continue to operate, but should

migrate to catalog

• PSB and DBD source can still be optionally generated from PSBLIB and

Dynamic database - Data Definition Language

� SQL incorporates DDL to modify the schema of a database

� Authoring DDL is straight-forward with sophisticated tooling support in the industry

� SQL/DDL can be used to update/add metadata in the catalog without the need of a GEN– Directly update the catalog

� IMS can be notified of such an update and load the new definitions

� It is our intention to offer this type of dynamic definition for IMS

Enhancing IMS analytics on System z with Big Data

• Much of the world’s operational data resides on z/OS

• Unstructured data sources are growing fast

• There is a need to merge this data with trusted OLTP data from System z data sources

• IMS provides the connectors and the DB capability to allow BigInsights v2.1.2.0 to easily and efficiently access the IMS data source
