IMS Parallel Change Accumulation

IMS Parallel Change Accumulation was designed to improve the efficiency of change accumulation tasks within IMS environments on z/OS. It allowed for parallel processing of change accumulation, potentially reducing the time required for these operations compared to serial processing methods. The product is no longer supported.

The product's architecture likely involved several components, including a change accumulation engine, a task scheduler, and interfaces for interacting with IMS databases. These components would have communicated to facilitate parallel processing. The product would have interacted with IMS databases, likely using native IMS APIs to read and write data.

The product likely used a command-line interface (CLI) for its operations. Specific commands would have been used to initiate change accumulation processes, manage tasks, and monitor progress. Configuration would have involved specifying parameters related to the IMS environment, the sources of changes, and the scheduling of accumulation tasks.

The product's ability to process changes in parallel could have reduced the impact of change accumulation on system resources. This could lead to better overall system performance during these operations. Since IMS Parallel Change Accumulation is no longer supported, organizations should migrate to modern change management solutions.
