IMS Fast Path - Design & Implementation
This advanced, in-depth course, taught by internationally known IMS specialists, introduces and explains the features and functionality of IBM's IMS Fast Path. The course covers the processing of Fast Path resources in IMS/TM and IMS/DB environments and the design and implementation of both EMH environments and Fast Path databases. It also explains the implementation of High Speed Sequential Processing, the DEDB Virtual Storage Option, database and system recovery and data sharing for Fast Path DEDBs.
This course is available for one-company, on-site presentations or presentations over the Internet, via RSM's Virtual Classroom Environment service.
