  10. From FOCUS to WebFOCUSHigh Performance Multi-Dimensional Index – MDI MDI provides virtually instant access to the data you need MDI has been in use for years in our FUSION product CAR MODEL COUNTRY MDIs can have more than 3 dimensions

From FOCUS to WebFOCUSHigh Performance Multi-Dimensional Index - MDI ACCESS FILE MASTER = CAR,$ DATA = ‘CARACX1 FOCUS M’,$ DATA = ‘CARACX2 FOCUS M’,$ DATA = ‘CARACX3 FOCUS M’,$ MDI =CARMDI , TARGET_OF = ORIGIN,$ DIM = CAR,$ DIM = COUNTRY,$DIM = MODEL,$ DATA = ‘CARMDI MDI M’,$ TABLE FILE CAR PRINT BODYTYPE SEATS WHERE CAR EQ ‘JAGUAR’ WHERE COUNTRY EQ ‘ENGLAND’ END Unlike RDBMS Clustered Index, MDI fields can be in any order and all fields need not be used. REBUILD MDINEX Creates new MDIs, or adds new partitions to an existing MDI

Error writing to log Error writing to log Write contention to log Write contention to log Log Not Accessible Log Not Accessible Log Full Log Full FOCUS FOCLOG – A New Product is BornUser Just Keeps On Going And Going And Going “FOCLOG will never interfere with your session or job” How the bunny uncovers the text The four cloud-groups, known in the Customer Animation box as Group 82, lays on top of a white box, and the identical cloud image is duplicated underneath that. The only reason Group 82 exists is to appear on top of the white box on paper handouts. As such, Group 82 is made to Appear and then Dim immediately, so it is never actually seen on the presented slide at all. That is, the one you see on top here is not the one that appears during the run. During the transition, the underneath cloud images are exposed as the white rectangle box that covers them (I extended it off the screen to the right just to see it here) transitions off to the right in sync with the bunny. If you highlight the bunny or the white box and bring up Custom Animation, you will see these motion lines with their green/red motion handles. GUARANTEED Your session just keeps going and going and going …

  17. FOCUSRelease 7.6 Up to 20% faster than FOCUS 7.3 !! New ‘C’ compiler for MVS and VM Includes all new features of How the sliding bar works Obviously overlayed bars, and one moves to the left. But if they were both fully on the screen, then the left side of the moving bar would show movement also and that wouldn’t look good. So I intentionally hung them off the left side of the screen so you don’t see that. FOCUS 7.6 FOCUS 7.3 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ CPU DOLLAR$

  18. FOCUSRelease 7.6 Why switch compilers now? • Recent compiler improvements by IBM • Remerged code with WebFOCUS in 7.2 and 7.3 • Bonus – Absorb new features of IBM C Compiler

  19. Structured HOLD Files

  20. VSAM DB2 FOCUS Oracle XFOCUS Structured HOLD FiIesHOLD Flattens the Hierarchy HOLD Files currently remove all structure ON TABLE HOLD VSAM DB2 Oracle VSAM FOCUS XFOCUS

  21. Plain HOLD File A B C D A A E Structured HOLD File B B C C C=5 D D Structured HOLD FilesNow Retain the Structure • Retains knowledge of one-to-many relationships of original file • Structured data easily downloads off mainframe to WebFOCUS FOCUS Database TABLE FILE PRINT A B C D IF C EQ 5 ON TABLE HOLD [ FORMAT HSA ] END HOLD FORMAT options HSA HSB HSX HREL HFOC Hier Seq Alpha Hier Seq Binary Hier Seq Xml Hier Relational Hier Focus

  22. A Deliver structured mainframe data to the pc for deeper analysis and presentation via B C E D Structured HOLD FiIes Move Data to PC How the coordinated effect happens The structure moves left and the PC picture wipes left at the same time using With Previous, but with the PC starting to wipe after a time delay visually adjusted to start when the structure catches up to it. The structure ‘settles’ into the PC via the Smooth End effect option. I let them both hang off the left side of the screen merely for effect. The picture is cropped, and the final end of the movement arrow is off the left edge.
