Tuning the IMS data base management system
William P. Grafton · 1974
For the purposes of this discussion, I would like to define "tuning" as the adjustment of the variables in a generalized system to optimize it for a particular environment. The generalized systems we are talking about are called Generalized Data Base Management Systems or GDBMS, and I am going to talk about one of these: IBM's Information Management System, or IMS.
