The architecture of IMS Hardware Data Compression Extended comprised several key components. The compression engine was responsible for the actual compression and decompression of data, utilizing z/OS hardware compression features. Interface modules facilitated communication with IMS and the z/OS operating system.
Configuration was managed through JCL and control cards, defining parameters such as the input and output datasets, compression algorithms, and other operational settings. The product did not expose any APIs. The primary storage mechanism was the IMS database.
The product's main function was to reduce storage space and improve I/O performance for IMS databases. The product's design leveraged the z/OS hardware compression capabilities to optimize performance. Since the product is not supported, users should consider alternative solutions such as IBM Tools Base, which offers similar functionality and integration capabilities.
When migrating, consider the JCL scripts and configuration parameters used in the original implementation.
