Eclipse Reorganization Utilities:NEON for IMS Databases

Eclipse Reorganization Utilities™

Eclipse Reorganization Utilities provide the power and functionality you need for fast IMS reorganizations. It is no longer necessary to maintain and manage separate sets of IMS utilities for the different types of databases. The solution consists of an integrated set of products that support both IMS full function and Fast Path DEDB databases: iBuild, iCheck, iCopy, iLoad, iSurvey, and iUnload.

The Eclipse Reorganization Utilities utilize IBM System z9 Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs). By moving eligible work to zIIPs, the utilities free up central processors and reduce the overall cost of computing. The table shows the percentages of the processing for specific utilities that can be eligible for processing using zIIPs.
