Automation of Application Recovery
DB2 and/or IMS InfoVic®
InfoVic is a member of the MASTER-UTIL family, an automated software suite ensuring reorganizations, backups, and restores.
The Problem
- It is essential for a company to ensure the integrity and availability of the data of sensitive applications (CRM, ERP) at all times
- Unavailable or corrupted data can paralyze the activity of the company and cause a large loss of revenue
- The conventional recovery method consists of identifying all the databases impacted, checking their condition, writing the JCL, and finding a synchronization point for restoring the databases to a coherent state
- This requires a time-consuming, complex sequence of operations, while attempting to minimize data downtime and avoid any errors
The DB2 and/or IMS InfoVic solution
- InfoVic solves these problems by automatically restoring all the impacted DB2 and/or IMS databases. Using a unique technology, Virtual Image Copy (VIC), InfoVic automatically creates and uses synchronization points, thereby reducing errors during the restore.
- InfoVic saves considerable time for Information Managers and minimizes data downtime
