IMS Middleware – All You Need in One
� A z/OS middleware that inherit all strength of zEnterprise
� A Messaging & Transaction Manager
– Based on a messaging and queuing paradigm• A real benefit in case of surge of traffic, or in case of unavailability of users to receive their
transaction answers.
– High-volume, rapid response transaction management for application programs
accessing IMS and/or DB2 database, MQ queues
– “Universal” Application Connectivity
� A Batch Manager– Standalone z/OS batch support
– Batch processing region centrally managed by the IMS control region• Managing the batch-oriented programs — providing checkpoint/restart services
� A Database Manager
– Central point of control and access for the IMS databases based on a hierarchical
database model • Used by companies needing high transaction rates
– Now provide a “Universal” Database Connectivity based on JDBC / DRDA• Lot of new features in that space! Stay tuned

Reminder … What is System z optimized for?
� Optimized for transaction processing and master data base– Linear scalability with Parallel Sysplex and streamlined middleware
� Optimized for high I/O bandwidth workloads (e.g. batch)– Dedicated I/O processing plus DS8000 and Easy Tier
� Optimized for managing mission-critical data– Built-in DFSMS capability automates efficient data management
� Optimized for ultra high availability– Multi-layered strategy for reliability and serviceability
� Optimized for business critical workloads– Centralized data mirroring and systematic disaster recovery
� Optimized for easy growth in processing capacity– Elastic scaling through Capacity On Demand
� Optimized to achieve full use of processing resources– Intelligent prioritization of multiple workloads/ensembles to service objectives

Growth of the IMS Business
� IMS runs mission critical business applications – ATM networks, core banking, bill of materials applications, auto/airline maintenance,
insurance policy/claims
� New Customers– Mergers and Acquisitions
– New applications built on IMS Transaction Manager – eg. T2S Securities project for EU
– Consolidations of Transaction Managers
– Strong potential in emerging GEOs• 2 POCs being driven now in Russia for IMS TM/DB
� Most growth is additional workload from existing customers– Over 50% of IMS customers grew transaction workload in 2011
– New applications and workloads onto IMS

Changing Dynamics of IMS Customer Set
� Significant increase in IMS MIPS usage overall– Overall IMS MIPS have doubled in past 5 years– Strong growth for over 50% of IMS customers– Declining number of unique IMS customer names – Very high end customers making up more of IMS business.
• 25 customers represent 25% of all IMS MIPS
� Explosive growth in Outsourcing– IBM GTS Outsourcing has grown to over 20% of IMS business.– 4 of Top 10 IMS customers are outsourcers
• Double digit annual growth in their IMS MIPS
� Mergers, Acquisitions and Consolidations– Financial Sector is IMS core business– Tremendous number of mergers in past 5 years, some examples:
• BTMU = Bank of Tokyo + Mitshubishi Financial + UFJ + Sanwa Bank• JPMC = JP Morgan + Banc One + Chase Manhattan Bank + Washington Mutual• Wells Fargo acquisition Wachovia• Commerzbank acquisition of Dresdner Bank
� Some movement of applications off z platform or to other DBMS– Typically smaller customers, not aware of any “Top 100” type customers– Some CICS IMS DB customers going to CICS DB2– Very rarely IMS TM/DB customers

Problem Statement
� The life of a database administrator (DBA) and System Programmer is not easy these days
� The Challenges…– Migrate to IMS V12 and DB2 10 – quicker, faster, cheaper
• Great new versions with lots of savings
– Save CPU and elapsed time… at all costs!• Rising chargeback costs• Impact to online day
– Worries about data corruption and loss
– Diagnose and solve performance issues • Minimize their impact
© 2012 IBM Corporation29
Why Autonomics and Modernization for IMSNow more than ever, business challenges demand it!
� Autonomics– Increased burden of system management
and maintenance •Problem determination is time and resource
intensive
– Expert skills are often spent ascertaining when a problem took place rather than figuring out how to fix it
– DBA resources are dwindling -- Expert skills are wasted on repetitive tasks
– Time and resources are not available for developing new applications, pursuing new technologies, and growing business � Modern Graphical User Interfaces
– Provide a richer user experience, can convey more information
– Reduce the need for IMS or z/OS specific knowledge
– Shorten the IMS learning curve for new DBAs
– Enable deeper integration between tools and across platforms

Automation & Standardization
Why IBM IMS Tools for z/OS?
� Performance & TCO– Reduce high third party software costs– Reducing CPU and elapsed time to achieve
lowest TCO– Meeting or exceeding SLA’s and/or
chargeback
� Data Access & Availability– Fast retrieval of information– Reducing the amount of down time or
minimizing batch window for maintenance
� Automation & Standardization– Reducing repeated tasks, manual effort and
error– Ensuring consistency at company level
