Capacity Utilities

NEON's IMS database utilities are powerful tools for managing capacity in full-function and Fast Path databases. Capacity management tools prevent outages that can occur if your IMS databases exceed existing capacity.



For full-function databases, Partitioned Database Facility (PDF™) increases IMS database capacity and performance, providing a cost-effective method for growing your business with no impact on business applications. PDF allows you to manage capacity growth without redesigning IMS or requiring an all-or-nothing migration to partitioned databases. PDF organizes a database into up to 127 partitions or data groups, and more than 500GB of capacity for VSAM and more than a terabyte for OSAM data sets.

When combined with the NEON IMS Utilities, PDF delivers superior performance with dependence upon fewer IMS resources than any other solution on the market.
Lightning Utilities offer a streamlined, effective solution for IMS Fast Path DEDB database capacity and performance. The utilities also reduce CPU usage, efficiently managing sequential dependent (SDEP) and independent overflow (IOVF) capacity to optimize performance.

Lightning X is a Fast Path indexing utility that lets you create secondary indexes for Fast Path DEDBs with the database offline, providing a set of easy-to-use utilities to build, verify and maintain the indexes.
