Learn how to successfully implement and tune Information Management System (IMS) databases with IMS logical relationships. Examine in detail the various pointer options. Practice these skills in intensive machine-lab exercises.

 

People responsible for designing, implementing, maintaining, or tuning IMS databases using logical relationships.

 

Prerequisites

 

You should have at least four months of experience using IMS and should be able to:

  • • Use TSO/ISPF or PDF
