The NESI Lightning Utilities offer a streamlined, effective solution for IMS Fast Path DEDB database capacity and performance. The Lightning Utilities also reduce CPU usage, efficiently managing sequential dependent (SDEP) and independent overflow (IOVF) capacity to optimize performance.
Lightning Reclaim™ performs selective IOVF free-space reclamation through a methodical analysis of UOWs using SMAP information.
Lightning X™ lets you create secondary indexes for your Fast Path DEDBs with the database offline, providing a set of easy-to-use utilities to build, verify and maintain the indexes.
Lightning DEDB™ optimizes IOVF capacity, extending the amount of time between Fast Path DEDB database reorganizations, improving database availability and performance.
