Test 000-549: IBM Certified System Programmer - IBM IMS

• IMS System Programming: Database and Transaction Management

IMS DB/TM is IBM's premier transactional and hierarchical database management system for critical on-line operational and On Demand applications and data, enabling high availability, information integration, management, and scalability. This course is intended for IMS DB/TM systems programmers and will provide them with a detailed description of the activities required to install, tailor, maintain and support an IMS DB/TM system. Additionally, learn about aspects of the IMS architecture and internal structure that support Database and Transaction management.

• IMS System Programming : DBCTL

Database Control (DBCTL) is an Information Management System (IMS) facility that provides CICS access to an IMS database subsystem. DBCTL provides access for CICS transactions to IMS managed databases. Get a detailed description of the activities required to install, tailor, maintain, and support an IMS DBCTL system. Additionally, learn about aspects of the IMS architecture that apply to database management and attaching to CICS systems and transactions.

• IMS Database Recovery Control (DBRC) and Data Sharing

Learn all aspects, including installation, implementation, and management of the Database Recovery and Sharing Control (DBRC) system of Information Management System (IMS) - an IMS facility that provides database recovery in all IMS environments.

• Implementing IMS Security

Learn how to implement Information Management System (IMS) using Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) as the external security manager, the Security Maintenance Utility (SMU), and the installation provided security exit routines. Apply classroom lectures with security paper lab exercises in which you set up the security definitions in both RACF and SMU.

• IMS Block Level Data Sharing

Learn about Information Management System (IMS) data sharing capabilities. Examine how multiple IMS systems on different processors can access and update the same databases with complete integrity.

• IMS Shared Queues

Learn about the key enhancement to Information Management System (IMS) Version 6 - the Shared Queues facility, which offers the ability to share full function message queues within a parallel sysplex environment. Also, learn about sharing Fast Path Expedited Message Handler (EMH) queues within a parallel sysplex environment.

• IMS Fast Path Implementation

Learn the features and functions of Information Management System (IMS) Fast Path from both a capability perspective and an implementation perspective. There is something in this course for all Information Technology (IT) professionals, including applications, systems, and database practitioners. The instructor assumes that you already have an understanding of IMS Database / Transaction Manager (DB/TM) fundamentals and that the information presented here builds upon that knowledge.

• IMS Installation Workshop

Learn how to successfully install and successfully maintain an Information Management System (IMS) system, with insights on common problems, how to avoid them and how to correct them should they occur. In the hands-on lab, select an IBM-supported Version of IMS to actually install, then install that IMS and run the IMS Installation Verification Program (IVP) process in the environment of your choice: Database Control (DBCTL) Database Coordinator Controller (DCCTL) Database/Data Communications (DB/DC) DB/DC with Extended Recovery Facility (XRF)

• IMS InfoCenter
