Issue/Introduction

File Master Plus for IMS, and the use of Sync Points for checkpoint restarting. 



  CA File Master Plus for IMS does issue an IMS SYNC call if one of the SYNCx keywords has been specified. Is this correct?                                                                                                                                                  

Environment

File Master Plus for IMS, and the use of Sync Points.

Resolution

  File Master Plus for IMS uses the SYNC call to commit changes, that’s why the keywords are called SYNCD (after n DLET calls), SYNCI (after n ISRT calls) and SYNCU (after n REPL calls). Just like CHKP, SYNC commits changes.                                                                                                                 

Additional Information

 Note that the default value for the 3 SYNCx keywords is 100. The SYNCx keywords are only valid in BMP mode.
