ABSTRACT:
A method and system for graphically displaying space management data of IMS databases. In one embodiment, the method involves receiving a plurality of records from an IMS database. The plurality of records may comprise ranges of free space within the IMS database, and may be processed to generate database information. The database information may comprise information concerning the condition of blocks in the IMS database and space usage information. Calculations of view ratios may be made. A working storage array may be built to consolidate the plurality of records. A plurality of view envelopes may be constructed. The size for each view envelope may be measured in blocks or in bytes. The plurality of view envelopes may be graphically displayed on a display. A legend may also be displayed on the display. User input may be received to request “inspection” or “identification” of a selected view envelope.
