Analyze, diagnose, and repair databases

IMS HP Pointer Checker helps you efficiently manage many database reorganization activities. When used regularly, IMS HP Pointer Checker helps ensure that your database pointers are error free by alerting you when it's time to perform a database reorganization.

This utility provides important information that helps to reduce the time spent handling diagnostics and repairs. These reports reveal errors and their locations within the database, facilitating system tuning and optimization. When IMS HP Pointer Checker is used in conjunction with Database Repair Facility (a powerful tool that can interactively and rapidly repair VSAM- and OSAM-organized IMS databases containing pointer or data errors), their synergy creates a powerful set of productivity aids that helps you detect and correct database errors quickly and repair them with minimum downtime to your IMS environment. These tools help you maintain the data availability you need to help your business thrive.
