With IMS version 14 DDL was introduced as modern industry standard way to define databases and programs in IMS. In this session Robert Recknagel will talk about how this technologie will replace traditional DBD, PSB and ACB generation processes. He will show you how to generate DDL from IMS Catalog metadata or your current DBD and PSB sources, how to execute DDL in IMS and how to get DBD and PSB sources for DDL-defined resources in several short live demos. Besides this Robert Recknagel will tell you about the things you need to take into account when moving to DDL.
FI-TS is one of IBM's sponsor users for DDL and has supported the IMS lab with an extensive amount of testing on this technologie over the last four years. Robert Recknagel will also talk about the experiences they made on this journey, where they are right now with DDL at FI-TS and what still needs to be done.
As an architect for mainframe databases and middleware Robert Recknagel is technically responsible for IMS, CICS, DB2, Adabas and z/OS Connect EE at Finanz Informatik Technologie Service (FI-TS) - a German IT service provider for banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions. In the past he has been an IMS system programmer and in this role he has been working a lot on IMS system-side modernization. Since he changed his role the focus has switched to support the clients of FI-TS to modernize their mainframe applications and to better integrate them with other plattforms. As part of these activities he introduced z/OS Connect EE with several of FI-TS' customers, helped the customers to start with using Java under IMS and SQL access to IMS databases. But even if the focus switched more to the application side and the development processes, Robert Recknagel still continued to invest in IMS system-side modernization with technologies like IMS managed ACBs and DDL. Over the last years Robert Recknagel held a lot of presentations on modernization of IMS with the IMS Catalog, IMS managed ACBs and DDL as well as on the modernization of IMS applications with Java, SQL access to IMS databases, synchronous callout and z/OS Connect EE at IBM conferences in Europe and the United States as well as at GSE conferences in Germany and Scandinavia.
