DFSMS Transactional VSAM Services

DFSMS Transactional Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) Services (DFSMStvs) is an enhancement to VSAM record-level sharing (RLS) access that enables multiple batch update jobs and customer information control system (CICS) to share access to the same data sets. DFSMStvs provides two-phase commit and backout protocols, as well as backout logging and forward recovery logging. DFSMStvs provides transactional recovery directly within VSAM.

As an extension of VSAM RLS, DFSMStvs enables any job or application that ...
