IMS 5.1 introduces N-Way data sharing The ability to share the same data resource with multiple applications or users. It implies that the data are stored in one or more servers in the network and that there is some software locking mechanism that prevents the same set of data from being changed by two people at the same time. and takes advantage of new CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. parallel processors allowing up to 32 IMS systems to share IMS databases. This new technology presents additional IMS monitoring challenges. New features for N-way data sharing in MV MANAGER for IMS 3.1.0 provide the tools necessary to get maximum throughput. "MV MANAGER for IMS 3.1 represents a real breakthrough in monitoring and managing IMS applications," said Don Coltrane, OLTP (OnLine Transaction Processing) See transaction processing and OLCP.
