Overview
Simplify IMS resource management
IMS™ High Performance System Generation Tools for z/OS® simplifies IMS resource management with dynamic updates that eliminate outages and IMS restarts, helping maintain synchronized resource definitions across the IMSplex while streamlining change deployment and administration.
Features
Streamline IMS system generation tasks
Manage sysgen activities through an integrated workspace that includes Fast Generation (SYSGEN), Merge Clone, and SYSGEN Compare. Consolidating these capabilities simplifies configuration management, reduces administrative effort, and provides the tools needed to create, compare, clone, and maintain IMS system generation environments more efficiently.
Accelerate IMS system generation processes for transactions, programs, databases, and route codes through a single-step batch job or online update process. Streamlined resource change management reduces CPU consumption, shortens update cycles, and helps administrators implement changes more efficiently across IMS environments.
Create and manage IMSplex sysgen configurations while controlling IMS SMU security settings, including AGN, Transaction Command authorization, and Terminal security. Centralized administration simplifies configuration management, supports consistent security controls, and helps maintain operational standards across IMS systems.
Install resource changes across multiple IMS systems simultaneously to maintain consistency throughout the IMSplex. Coordinated deployments keep resource definitions synchronized, reduce manual update activities, and help ensure that changes are applied uniformly across connected IMS environments.
Use cases
Simplify IMS change management
Keep IMS environments aligned while reducing the effort required to manage change. Streamline resource updates, validate changes before deployment, synchronize configurations across IMSplex systems, and improve operational efficiency with less CPU consumption.
Make IMS definition changes without full sysgen processes or downtime, helping teams update databases, programs, and transactions faster.
Roll out validated resource updates across multiple IMS systems at once, helping teams maintain consistency and avoid configuration drift.
Complete MODBLKS-type sysgen activities with up to 90% less CPU and elapsed time, helping teams implement changes more efficiently.
Track updates, restore prior definitions, and keep source and runtime environments aligned, helping teams improve audit readiness and control.
