Replicating IMS Data with InfoSphere Classic Replication
Gregory Meimers NA IIDR Specialist
IMS Replication
InfoSphere IMS Replication for z/OS delivers a native IMS-to-IMS software replication solution that supports high-availability IMS data environments. This solution synchronizes the contents of IMS databases on a single site, or across geographically dispersed locations, in
near real time with full recovery.
3
Heterogeneous:Synchronize Operational Data Stores with Reporting data bases, Information Server (ETL/Quality), MDM, Data Warehouses, and Datamarts for Business Intelligence, Analytics, Data Consolidation & Migrations
Homogeneous:Synchronize data between two or more data centers for Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery & Query Offload
Heterogeneous:Synchronize data across multiple systems.Data distribution and synchronization for Billing, Inventory, Financials, Customer data, etc.
The Role of Data ReplicationHomogeneous and Heterogeneous Data Synchronization

Changes
Consider the New Ways to Use Copied DataMobile Applications, Business Analytics and Big Datawill all drive dramatic increases in query workloads
A dedicated query data environment maintained by data replication
is a quick and easy way to handle the growth!
− Offload the query workload to a real time copy of the data on a secondary system
� No new programming
� No visible impact on users
� No impact on the existing transaction environment
− “Update” workload continues on the primary system
� Optimizes update environment
− Using dual sites also introduces continuous availability benefits !
� Secondary environment ready and able to carry the load during both planned and unplanned outages

Subscriptions
� Subscription
A programming object consisting of multiple replication mappings that identify the source tables that you want to replicate as a consistent group to the target tables.
Subscription methods:
Continuous
Net change
Refresh
Persistent subscriptions start replicating automatically:
When you start the data server
After transient failures, such as communication outages
The data server disables persistency:
When you explicitly stop replication
After a non-recoverable error
A. High speed, low latency unidirectional IMS to IMS data replication
spanning unlimited distances
� Support for updates made via DB/TM, DBCTL and Batch DL/I programs
� Requires DBRC to “chase” logs for scheduled & recovery modes
� Replication monitoring is built in
� Independent initial load of target DB is required
� Integration with Tivoli for GDPS Active-Active Continuous Availability

A. IMS to IMS Data ReplicationSample Replication Performance
� Source System
− 8-way IMSPLEX
− Peak OLTP workload: 2,200 – 2,600 transactions/second
− Peak Batch workload: 100,000 – 120,000 updates/second
� Target System
− 2-way IMSPLEX
− OLTP Latency: Sub-second end-to-end
− Batch Latency: Maximum 10 minute delay during peak processing only

B. Heterogeneous IMS to non-IMS replication � Continuous mirroring: Apply changes at target as made at source
� Refresh: Apply a snapshot version of source system
− Shares IMS to IMS Capture Engine but :
� Requires “Classic” IMS meta data to map to a relational target model
− Requires InfoSphere Data Replication’s CDC Target engine for:
1. Broad targeting and target engine transformations
2. Map source to target replication subscriptions
3. View and report on data flow characteristics

• Main configuration object for replication
• Link one or more Classic “tables” or “views” to targets
• Define source to target communication connection
• Start and stop data movement
Classic
‒ Map IMS segments to logical tables using imported copybooks & DBDs
• Automates translation of legacy data types
• Handles legacy constructs like recurring data, redefines, variable lengths, etc.
• Metadata-driven WHERE filtering clauses
– Configure/Manage Classic address spacee.g. Tracelevel, heartbeat interval, logging, K

The Value of Data ReplicationReduced down time, MIPS savings, Faster solution delivery
� Optimize resource utilization by eliminating massive batch movements
− Lower costs by saving CPU and network resources
� Shorten batch windows by streaming changes as they happen
− Extend application availability
� Reduce data latency with “right time” updating
− Improve the bottom line with accurate information when and where needed
