Add AWS support to DVM

As more of our users begin to move portions of their application and data to public and private cloud environments, we are seeing an increased desire to present a complete picture of the data across mainframe and distributed platforms. Adding AWS ...

Enable sampling for RUNSTATS

Currently RUNSTATS for non-Db2 virtual tables or virtual views will pull all data from the map and then calculate the stats values. When millions of records are present, the process begins to exceed the subsystem limits on cpu and memory. We would...

AVZLINE support for outbound connections

We have a REXX script named REXUSER, provided a few years ago, that processes connections for ACI/Adabas users. It issues command RXRC = AVZRXPC(SUBSYS,'DISPLAY', 'REMU', 500, 1920 ) then parses the line details. We would like to use this (or simi...

Mass creation or migration of Virtual Target System maps

Our goal is to use the same VTS names in our formal test environments that are used in production so that developers do not need to change them during the import/export process. On the test environments, we simply point the VTS's to the test endpo...

before DVM termination, wait for seconds which defined in CLIENTQUIESCEDELAY until there are no PSB scheduled with DVM.

DVM v1.1 IMS v13 With above env, we issued /P AVZS to terminate DVM while PSB is still scheduled. Then, it caused U3398 error of that application. We believe that termination command should wait till application will be stopped, or at le...

Use Data Stage data map as input to DVM Virtual Table definition

Currently Data Stage users who want to use DVM, must convert the Data Stage metadata maps to COBOL copybooks to be used when defining a DVM virtual table. It would be more efficient to the user to use the Data Stage metadata map as input to the DV...

NEVER fall back to IMS DBCTL when SQL is not eligible for IMS Direct

We have a requirement to restrict access to IMS Direct only. Users should not have access to IMS Online. In DVM when an SQL is not eligible for IMS Direct DVM directs the SQL to IMS Online despite IMS Online not being enabled in DVM. There is no o...

Converting ZCEE WOLA to ZCEE JVM

Currently the connection between zCEE and DVM is over WOLA. This setup requires a 1:1 zCEE server for each DVM subsystem that needs to expose web services. We would like to see an alternative interface added that would allow multiple DVMs to be se...

Exploit the data that RMF is generating in online mode

GISS wants to exploit the data that RMF is generating in online mode, that is, to exploit the data that RMF is holding online. Probably an easy way is to access the VSAM file where RMF keeps the data, but we don’t know the record layout. We see th...
