IBM Expert TV | JES3^plus I/O Improvements

Since its initial release in April 2020, JES3^plus has been steadily enhanced to provide superior I/O performance characteristics. IBM’s existing ECKD (Enhanced Count-Key-Data) I/O was first improved to use ACKD (Advanced CKD) I/O and eventually full zHPF (IBM Z High Performance FICON) support was implemented and delivered to customers. This session will provide some high-level background on the evolution of mainframe DASD I/O, from the early days of the bus & tag cables to what we use today. Then we’ll go through a detailed explanation of what was changed in JES3^plus SPOOL I/O and why those changes perform better than the original ECKD I/O implementation.

Join Ed Jaffe, CTO of Phoenix Software, for this technical examination of the JES3^plus I/O.
