BMC AMI Storage IAM 11.x: Fundamentals File Administration (WBT)
BMC AMI Storage IAM is a high-performance indexed access method for z/OS® that can be used in place of VSAM KSDS or VSAM ESDS datasets for batch, TSO, and online processing.
IAM data is loaded into IAM datasets and processed using IAM Overrides. Over time, these datasets must be reorganized, renamed, recatalogued, backed up, and restored. Reorganization is performed when there are many records in extended overflow.
This web-based course helps learners understand how to load and process IAM datasets, use overrides for file processing, and maintain IAM datasets by reorganizing and recataloging them. The course also provides information on enhanced dynamic dataset reorganization, and the use of IAMRECVR for IAM dataset recovery.
