Speaker: Nancy Stein IMS Advanced Technical Support Team, IBM Software Group Broadcast Date: May 15, 2012, 11 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, 4:00 p.m. BST / 3:00 p.m. UTC Developed for: IT and enterprise architects; IT managers; database administrators and managers; application programmers and managers; system programmers; and operations managers. Technical Level: Intermediate Until now there has been no trusted online source for both IBM IMS database and application metadata information. And any large-scale deployment of the IMS Open Database solution is limited without the IMS catalog. What is the IMS catalog, how has it been enhanced and what can it do for you? The IMS catalog is an integral part of the ongoing IMS simplification and integration story. It builds on the open access capabilities introduced with the IMS Open Database by providing a single trusted online source for IMS database and application metadata information, fully managed by IMS.

technical implementation of the IMS catalog and the business value you stand to gain from it. Youll come away with a better understanding of the IMS catalog as providing a trusted and comprehensive view of IMS database metadata, and how IMS manages that metadata using standard interfaces. The catalog also opens up metadata discovery and exchange for IMS Open Database and the IMS Explorer for application developers. Nancy will also discuss enterprise integration, as future plans for the IMS Catalog include permitting integration across the IBM portfolio, in areas such as IBM Tools, Cognos, Optim Development Studio, Rational Asset Analyzer and InfoSphere Data Architect. Join us after the teleconference for a live question-and-answer session. The teleconference will also be available for replay after the event.
