Description
BMC APPLICATION RESTART CONTROL for IMS AR/CTL for IMS enables you to implement batch checkpoint/restart capabilities and control checkpoint frequency so that you can resume batch applications from the most recent checkpoint rather than from the beginning of the job step. It resets the working storage areas after a batch job failure. Faster restarts minimize contention between batch jobs and online processing. You can often implement the checkpoint/restart mechanism with no changes to application code or jobs. BMC AR/CTL for IMS helps you helps you determine the best balance between performance, restart time, and checkpoint overhead by controlling the checkpoint frequency outside the application.
