CICS VSAM Recovery recovers CICS and batch VSAM data following physical or logical corruption

CICS VSAM Recovery V4.3 can quickly recover CICS and batch VSAM data after physical or logical corruption, improving CICS availability, and with reducing compliance risks.

This is a newly published Whitepaper that I have just finished writing with the help of an IBM colleague of mine, Tim Sipples. It is aimed at information technology (IT) architects, project mangers, and other decision makers who are considering their options for new IT projects. It focuses on the merits of deploying new applications to the System z platform, and in particular, to an environment managed by CICS Transaction Server (CICS TS).
