Supercharge Your Mainframe: VSAM Batch Acceleration & CICS Integration
Are your batch windows colliding with CICS availability?
If your team struggles with:
- Forced CICS outages just to run nightly VSAM batch updates
- Shadow file maintenance creating data sync headaches
- Performance penalties from ShareOption/4 workarounds
H&W's SYSB-II eliminates the trade-off.
Our technology (trusted by Fortune 500 firms for 35+ years) enables:
- True concurrent access
- Run batch jobs without taking VSAM files offline—CICS stays up 24/7
- Immediate visibility of batch updates to online users (no stale data)
- Zero-rewrite integration
- No changes to existing VSAM clusters or CICS applications
- Preserves all CICS recovery protocols (syncpoints, journals)
- Proven performance
- TIAA cut batch windows by 50% (7hrs→3.5hrs) while maintaining sub-second CICS response
- No ShareOption/4 throughput degradation
"We processed $2B in midday transactions while batch updated the same VSAM files."
