The BMC Fast Path Online Restructure/EP product is an application enhancement tool that is included in the BMC Fast Path/EP Series of products.

The Fast Path/EP Series consists of the following products:

  • Fast Path Analyzer/EP
  • Fast Path Indexer/EP
  • Fast Path Online Analyzer/EP
  • Fast Path Online Image Copy/EP
  • Fast Path Online Reorg/EP
  • Fast Path Online Restructure/EP
  • Fast Path Reorg/EP
