Partitioning sample application

The Partitioning sample application provided by the IVP demonstrates the conversion of a non-partitioning database to a partitioned database.

After you complete the IVP jobs and tasks during the execution phase, the Partitioning sample application is fully executed, and the IMS components that are associated with the Partitioning sample application are tested.

This sample is based on the HIDAM database and applications of the IVP sample application but does not depend on it. This partitioning sample application is stand alone; that is, the IVP sample application does not need to be run.

This sample includes all the steps you need to perform to define, create and verify the partitioned database. These instructions are included in the online help of the IVP N series jobs and tasks. The partitioned database is set up and verified using an MFS screen format.

Defining the partitioned database includes the following processes:

1. Create and initialize a non-partitioned HIDAM database.
2. Unload the database by specifying Migrate = YES.
3. Delete the old database from the RECON data sets.
4. Define the partitioned database using %DFSHALDB.
5. Allocate the partitioned database.
6. Initialize the partitioned database.
7. Reload the partitioned database.
8. Create an image copy of the partitioned database.

Verifying that the partitioned database includes initializing IMS and running sample transactions through an MFS screen, terminating IMS, and performing clean-up activities.
