BMC AMI Application Restart Control for Db2, IMS, and VSAM 4.2
The BMC AMI Application Restart Control (formerly known as APPLICATION RESTART CONTROL) products work separately or together to provide services for application programs that use the following types of data structures:
- Sequential files, using queued sequential access method (QSAM)
- IBM Db2 tables
- IBM IMS full-function, Fast Path, and/or GSAM databases
- Virtual storage access method (VSAM) data sets
- Any combinations of these data structures
BMC AMI Application Restart Control for IMS (AR/CTL for IMS) works independently in application programs that use IMS databases only, sequential files only, or both. AR/CTL for IMS works with BMC AMI Application Restart Control for VSAM (AR/CTL for VSAM) in programs that use IMS databases and VSAM data sets. These programs can also use sequential files. AR/CTL for IMS works with BMC AMI Application Restart Control for Db2 (AR/CTL for Db2) in programs that use Db2 tables, IMS databases, and Db2 oriented services of AR/CTL in an IMS environment. These programs can also use sequential files. However, AR/CTL for IMS can work alone with programs that use Db2 tables and IMS databases but do not use the Db2 oriented services of AR/CTL.
This space contains information about version 4.2.00 of the BMC AMI Application Restart Control (AR/CTL) products.
