Is the special version of IMSHRINK in IMSUT.LOAD required for the IBM utilities?
The IMSUT version of Compress Data Compression (CMPIMS) for IMS IMSHRINK is designed to work with batch database utilities
which do multiple-tasking and parallel processing. These include; IBM IMS Fastpath Unload/Reload, BMC Parallel Unload/Reload and Neon iUnload.
The IMSUT load library is intended to be used with utilities which do not run under IMS, so a batch application; for example, Database Organizer Unload/Reload.
Caution should be taken that the IMSUT load library must not be used for any online processing.
As the IMSUT version of Compress has been optimized specifically to support batch database utilities which do multi-tasking parallel processing,
then we would not generally recommend its’ wider use for IMS batch applications.
As with previous releases of Compress for IMS, the IMSUT load library is installed by executing the JCL in hlq.CIMTSAMP(SHRINS04).
