Striped data sets
Striping allows you to divide data into blocks and place them in various partitions on several hard disks. Striping data sets makes it is possible to achieve performance improvements.
When running IBM® Transformation Extender maps, striping data sets might improve the performance of batch jobs running under the Batch Command Server.
- Examine your environment and determine if you can
stripe sequential and VSAM data sets.
- Data striping sequential and VSAM data sets can
reduce the processing time required for batch jobs resulting in lowered
EXCPS.
Do not stripe temporary data sets (SYSTMP01-99) processed in IBM Transformation Extender maps.
