BMC AMI Application Restart Control 4.x: Fundamentals Concepts for Db2® , IMSTM, and VSAM (WBT)
BMC AMI Application Restart Control (AR/CTL) enables to resume failed or interrupted batch applications from the most recent checkpoint rather than from the beginning of the job. It helps implement checkpoint/restart functionality with no changes to application code or jobs. AR/CTL helps determine the best balance between performance, restart time, and checkpoint overhead by controlling the checkpoint frequency outside the application.
AR/CTL is integrated with other BMC AMI products to provide suspend-and-resume processing to obtain a point of consistency required for reorganization or recovery in BMC AMI Backup and Recovery for IMS™, BMC AMI Online Reorg for IMS™, BMC AMI Fast Path Online Restructure for IMS™, and BMC REORG PLUS for Db2® Online Feature.
This course introduces the fundamentals of BMC AMI AR/CTL for Db2®, IMS™, and VSAM including Batch Control Facility (BCF) concepts, product features, and key benefits. This course also covers services provided by BMC AMI AR/CTL, such as checkpoint/restart services, data services, and operational services.
