Control-M Support for MAINVIEW Batch Optimizer

Control-M provides scheduling support for jobs that use pipes at sites that have MAINVIEW Batch Optimizer (MVBO)/Job Optimizer Pipes installed. A pipe is a processor storage buffer that enables data to be passed between applications without using DASD or tape.

MVBO/Job Optimizer Pipes uses pipes to replace sequential job processing with parallel processing wherever feasible. Jobs and job steps normally run sequentially because they depend on data files that become available only after the application that creates them completes execution. When pipes are used, an application does not need to finish running before the data it generates is available to other applications. This significantly reduces I/O operations and delays, and speeds up processing, because pipes enable movement of data using processor storage instead of writing and reading data to and from external storage.

The following topics describe Control-M scheduling support for MVBO/Job Optimizer Pipes:
