The document discusses IMS buffer pool tuning. It explains that buffer pools temporarily store data during runtime to prevent unnecessary I/O operations. The summary defines how to optimize buffer pools based on the database type, size, and access patterns of applications. Test results show performance improvements of 10-20% after applying these tuning techniques.

- 2. IMS Storage VSAM Control Interval : VSAM works with a logical data area known as a control interval (CI). The default CI size is 4K bytes, but it can be up to 32K bytes. The CI contains data records, unused space, and a CI descriptor field. Most commonly used VSAM file in IMS. - Key Sequence Data Set (KSDS) Contain two components: INDEX and DATA -Entry Sequence Data Set (ESDS) Contain single component: DATA. OSAM Block Size : OSAM works with a logical data area know as a block size. VSAM dataset can store data up to 4GB & OSAM up to 8GB Identify the file type in DBD DBD NAME=XXLA01DB, ACCESS=(HIDAM,VSAM) or ACCESS=(HIDAM,OSAM) AMS Share-Net | Oct 2010 Innovative Improved Usability Open Standards

- 4. 4 Introduction Buffer poolBuffer pool are areas of virtual storage that temporarily stores data during run-time. Allocate sufficient buffers in the IMS database buffer pools to prevent I/O that results from an application program having to reread data previously brought into the pool. Careful choice of sub pool sizes and matching against database block sizes and frequency of database references is required. Type of buffer pools – Based on file type 1. VSAM Buffer Pool - Define VSAM sub pools using the VSRBF control statement 2. OSAM Buffer Pool - Define OSAM subpools are defined using the IOBF. Buffer Sizes can be 5 KB, 1 KB, 2 KB, 4 KB, 8 KB and multiple of 4KB. Buffer Size should be selected based on CI SIZE of VSAM or BLOCK SIZE of OSAM file.

- 7. 7 How to meet the performance Objective ? Business Scenario : Buffer spool option be selected only if the user has established performance objectives and know how the current system is performing. Understand Current Business Scenario : • Batch job/Online Program is access Large number of IMS Database. • Database type and Access methods. -Database type : Full-Function, Fast-Path, HALDB -Access Method : HISAM,HDAM,HIDAM,PHDAM,PHIDAM • IMS Storage and Control Interval Verification. - Verify CI Size of VSAM INDEX & DATA Component. - Verify Block Size of OSAM file.

- 8. 8 How to meet the performance Objective ? Problem Statement : Buffer pool was not defined according to the VSAM CI or OSAM Block size. Buffer pool was not been divide into sub-pool for Data (D –VSAM Data component, ESDS) and Index (I- VSAM Index Component). Common buffer control card has been used across all the batch jobs. Existing production code : DFSVSAMP DD DSN=TEST.PROCLIB (XXVSAMP) 18432,4 16384,4 12288,200 8192,700 IOBF=(2048,4,N,N) IOBF=(4096,500,N,N) IOBF=(6144,300,N,N) AMS Share-Net | Oct 2010
- 9. 9 How to meet the performance Objective ? Solution: IMS may build multiple VSAM pools. Each pool may have multiple sub pools. A VSAM pool is defined by a POOLID= statement in the DFSVSMxx member for online systems or the DFSVSAMP data set for batch and utility jobs. Suggest Changes : POOLID=SP01 VSRBF=8192, 700, D DBD= XTDBD01 (1, SP01) POOLID=SP02 VSRBF=12288, 200, D VSRBF=10240, 500, I DBD= XTDBD02 (1, SP02) IOBF=(2048,4,Y,Y) OPTIONS, VSAMFIX= (BFR, IOB), BGWRT= (YES, 50) By dividing buffer pools in data and index component number of page hit ratio can be increased and reduce the I/O transfer rate/sec, which results in reduction of elapse time, CPU units, I/O transfer counts. Buffer pool has been defined according to the VSAM CI or OSAM Block Size. AMS Share-Net | Oct 2010

- 13. 13 Business Benefits… Buffer pool concept will be applicable to batch & online application. By proposing IMS buffer-pool concept we are able to reduce 10-20% of elapse time, CPU units, I/O transfer counts. Implementing buffer-pool concept into there respective account will add values to clients and will be able to meet SLA, as it will reduce application elapse time. Dividing buffer pools in data and index component number of page hit ratio can be increased and reduce the I/O transfer rate/sec Supports additional new opts Included – BGWRT (Back Ground Write) % used for parallel write operation to database and buffer pool can be released during database processing.

- 14. 14 Performance Dependent Parameters… Performance of XNC100JD dependent on the below parameters Region Parameters: • Whether these database are used by other program during the batch job execution. • Shared buffer used by other program for loading the data. • Whether the IMS1/IMS2 region database has been reorganized recently. Application Parameters: • No. of record retrieved from the database.. • No. of DLI call issued by the program. • BGWRT- The best percentage value to be specified will change depending on whether the program is re- accessing the buffers or not. • Background Write: In general, maximum benefit occurs in sequential update processing.
