Brad, I think you should add the following to your list of options:
http://www.hwcs.com/products/sysb-ii/index.asp I have no financial interest nor do I have any experience with this product. EdP Everyone, Management here has decided that we need to review different products that would allow us the bring our CICS regions up while nightly processing is still running. As a member of a management assigned SWAT team to investigate products, our team has decided to focus on the following three products that would allow concurrent VSAM update from batch and CICS: 1. DFHSMStvs - Transactional VSAM services - Would need to setup VSAM record level sharing and all CF logstreams. Also require JCL changes and coding changes for committing a LUW. 2. VSAM transparency - move data into DB2 and setup proper mapping to DB2 tables. Again have some JCL changes and coding for commits. 3. IAM - Innovation access method - Convert VSAM files to IAM files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
