What is SYNCSORT?
SYNCSORT (MFX) is a comprehensive and high-performance product. It's designed to use the advanced facilities of the z/OS operating system and IBM Z® mainframes. It's used for various daily data operations such as SORT/MERGE/JOIN/COPY.
SYNCSORT Performance.
SyncSort for z/OS is now renamed to MFX for z/OS. Yet, there is no change in operations, syntax. As per studies, sort-relate data processing consumes almost 25% of the CPU time.
MFX uses the cutting edge optimized technique to exploit z\OS system architecture. It uses the combination of advanced sorting algorithms and data access methods to reduce the sort execution elapsed time. Refer below the figure for more details.

MFX's (SYNCSORT) Basic Functions.
- Sorting - re-arranging file records in a specific sequence.
- Merging - combining data from different data set's into a single data set.
- Copying - taking a backup of data set with or without any sorting process.
- Joinkeys - are used to merge, select or reformat data from multiple data sets using joins keys. SYNCSORT support Inner join, left outer join, right outer join, and full outer join.
- Reporting - SYNCSORT utility is of the best utility to generate instant customized reports.
