Abstract
IBM's Information Management System (IMS) Fast Path
provides a rich set of facilities for applications where performance,
capacity and availability are paramount.
This redbook provides an introduction to IMS Fast Path for both the
IMS user and the IMS Database Control user who is using CICS
as the transaction manager.
This redbook was written for systems programmers, database
administrators, and application developers who would like to understand
more about the facilities provided by IMS Fast Path. This will give you
extra options for increasing the performance and availability of your
applications.
A fully functional application system is described in the redbook,
with practical examples demonstrating how to
define IMS fast-path databases, program specification blocks, and
programs to load and access these databases. The full source code
is included in the book, so you can use it as a working sample system.
Some knowledge of IMS and application development is assumed.
