Syncsort™ Space Recovery System

No more storage headaches

Running out of disk space shouldn’t bring your production to a halt. Syncsort™ Space Recovery System (SRS) helps you avoid job reruns and failures by stepping in before storage issues cause problems. It automatically finds and recovers space based on your application’s needs—so jobs keep moving, even when things get tight.

Whether you’re working with legacy JCL, dealing with fragmented volumes, or managing ever-growing workloads, SRS helps keep everything on track without you needing to step in.

With Syncsort™ Space Recovery System you can:

  • Stop failures in your IBM Z environment that occur when the available disk storage can’t meet application needs
  • Maximize disk utilization with a built-in safety net that kicks in when space runs low
  • Automatically recover from space allocation errors—no manual intervention needed
  • Apply custom rules to decide how recovery happens based on the installation rules you select for your setup
  • If the rules allow recovery, Syncsort™ SRS pushes the OS to grab the space needed so the job can finish successfully
