Operating System/400 (5722-SS1) 493Operating System/400 (5722-SS1)Object Connect for iSeries (5722-SS1 Option 22)Object Connect for iSeries provides support to simply and efficiently moves individualobjects, entire libraries, or entire Integrated File System (IFS) directories from one iSeriesserver to another over a standard communications connection or over a high-speed fiberoptic bus. Systems can be connected via standard APPC (using APPN), TCP/IPcommunications lines (using AnyNet), or a fiber optic bus (using OptiConnect for iSeries).The economy of not requiring intermediate save file procedures and copies to distributionqueues saves DASD and improves performance in a manner that is non-disruptive to systemoperations.DB2 Symmetric Multiprocessing for OS/400 (5722-SS1 Option 26)DB2 Symmetric Multiprocessing for OS/400 expands on the parallel capabilities of DB2 UDBto improve the performance of the database for the iSeries server. This improvedperformance is critical, especially in a data warehouse or decision support environment. Theperformance gains allow for business decisions to be made in a timely manner.DB2 Symmetric Multiprocessing for OS/400 further enables DB2 UDB for iSeries withsymmetric multiprocessing (SMP) on any of the iSeries N-way systems. This form of SMPallows multiple database operations to take place simultaneously on multiple processors.Each database operation runs on a single processor, therefore, optimizing DB2 UDB foriSeries for online transaction processing.With the availability of DB2 Symmetric Multiprocessing for OS/400, DB2 UDB for iSeriesbecomes optimized for decision support processing. DB2 UDB for iSeries is one of the fewdatabases that can take full advantage of an SMP architecture for online transactionprocessing environments and decision support environments.Parallel index build capability is included in DB2 Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) foriSeries. An index build can utilize multiple processors at the same time. Or in other words,work on multiple parts of the index in parallel. This allows significant performance increasesin cases where an index is created or rebuilt. These allow faster resolution of queriesinvolving a join or group-by operation without the need to create and maintain indexes overthe tables involved in the query.Both SQL and native database interfaces are supported for queries. To achieve thisparallelism with multiple processors, an individual query is split into many smaller sub-tasks.Included in base NoStatus Charged featureRelated products DB2 Multisystem for iSeries
