Batch Pipes can only move data between two different jobs. It cannot move data between steps because in a Batch Pipes world, there is no way to get multiple steps running in parallel for the pipe to work. MAINVIEW Batch Optimizer from BMC will run steps in parallel, entire jobs in parallel, and optimizes QSAM and native VSAM I/O processing among other items.

Good evening IBM-MAIN, Is anybody using Batch Pipes in production? Does the product really expedite execution of multi-step jobs? Is this a robust product for processing millions of records per day? Any gotchas with recovery? How is the overall CPU consumption?
