Described systems and techniques enable the capture of an archive image copy of at least one database at a first time, as well as the capture of database metadata that includes a runtime environment of the at least one database. The archive image copy and the database metadata may be stored. A request to restore the at least one database may be received at a second time. In response to the request, the archive image copy and the database metadata may be determined. The at least one database may be restored, including re-establishing the runtime environment using the database metadata.

Database archiving and access across updates to database metadata

A method includes providing an application accelerator to an IMS region controller, which is coupled to an IMS data language interpreter (DL/I) interface. The IMS DL/I interface provides standard data access paths to a user application launched in an IMS environment. The application accelerator is configured to make alternate data access paths available to the user application in addition to the standard data access paths provided by the IMS environment. The method further includes intercepting an IMS DL/I call made by the user application and determining whether the intercepted call should be processed by the IMS DL/I interface or by an I/O engine of the application accelerator.
