CONTENT AND OBJECTIVES:
VSAM Components and Evolution
The components and types of VSAM datasets.
Identify the performance areas that need to be managed.
KSDS Structure
The concepts of splits, where to find splits statistics, and what to do with splits.
Create a KSDS and load it with data.
Code a program which will cause splits.
Determine the number of CA and CI splits and undertake the effort to improve its implementation on the existing program.
The Cluster on the Disk
Examine VSAM usage at the client installation and how it can be improved.
Given case studies with usage statistics, provide estimates on storage, I/O amounts, and memory.
Tuning AMS: DEFINE CLUSTER
Recognize the difference between allocating a VSAM dataset for CICS and batch.
Create a VSAM KSDS for online processing.
Alternate Indexes and Paths
