IMS Version 9 contains over 50 enhancements, in all areas of the product. that address availability, scalability, capacity, usability, manageability, operations, on demand business, and application development requirements from its huge customer base. All of the enhancements in this new version resulted from specific customer requirements. The major enhancements include:

    Improved database availability for HALDB databases is provided by the long-awaited online reorganization (OLR) enhancement.

    The functionality of the IMS Connect product is included as an integrated function of IMS.

    IMS Java users will have new JDBC SQL calls and DLI Model Utility support for retrieving existing IMS data in XML format as well as storing, indexing, searching, and retrieving valid XML documents into new or existing IMS databases.
