The IBM z/OS platform continues to lead in mainframe resiliency. The hardware
and storage infrastructures, as well as the database systems, continue to
improve and deliver unparalleled levels of resiliency. However, most
organizations still have heavy batch processing throughout the night,
functioning as a principal way of updating those databases. Non-database managed
data (data sets outside of the control of the database management tools for
recovery) are an overlooked, but still critical component. Although mature, the
hardware solutions for recovery focus at the volume level, with no knowledge of
the state of the data sets at the time of the backup, leaving many of these data
sets in a questionable state for recovery. This session will discuss these
limitations and how IBM Z Batch Resiliency provides the solution.
