Overview of SmartSwitch feature
The SmartSwitch feature lets you take advantage of the BMC AMI Reorg for Db2 ( BMC AMI Reorg ) product without changing your existing REORG PLUS JCL. SmartSwitch dynamically "switches" jobs from REORG PLUS to BMC AMI Reorg , based on BMC AMI Reorg capabilities and the rules that you specify to comply with your business needs. With SmartSwitch, you can enhance performance by exploiting a mixture of REORG PLUS and BMC AMI Reorg functions.
Licensing requirements
To use SmartSwitch, the following conditions must exist:
- You are using version 11.2.00 of REORG PLUS.
- You are using version 11.2.00 or 12.1.00 of BMC AMI Reorg .
- You have a license to use at least one of the following BMC solutions:
- BMC AMI Utilities for Db2
- BMC AMI Database Performance for Db2
Important
These solutions also give you access to BMC AMI Command Center for Db2 product functions, which you will use to set up and manage SmartSwitch rules.
Tip
SmartSwitch switches to BMC AMI Reorg more often with version 12.1.00 than with version 11.2.00 because version 12.1.00 contains additional features (for example, OUTPUT statement support). Therefore, although SmartSwitch is compatible with version 11.2.00 of BMC AMI Reorg , we recommend upgrading to version 12.1.00 as soon as possible.
