| Overview |
|
DB2® V9.1 for z/OS® (DB2 V9), which delivers exciting new innovations to help you realize the business value of your company's information, will be made available to clients in a closed beta program in early June. IBM Business Partners have been working with specifications of this release since March 2005 and with early code drivers since late 2005 to help validate product design and to ensure timely availability of partner products that interoperate with the new capabilities offered by DB2 V9.
DB2 V9.1 for z/OS delivers innovations in three key areas:
Business insight innovations
IBM continues to invest in new features to allow you to gain great insight into your business, and DB2 V9 delivers great value in this area. Exciting capabilities like hybrid support for relational and pure XML data, enhanced support for key business partners to allow you to get more from your data in critical business disciplines like ERP, and a brand new user interface for IBM DB2 Query Management Facility (QMF) to let you see, view, and analyze data from either a workstation client or an ordinary Web browser.
Cost savings through optimized innovations
As you drive to improve your bottom-line results, DB2 delivers new features that may help improve your price/performance. Technical innovations in areas like operational compliance (both regulatory and internal governance) help your teams work more efficiently and within guidelines. Synergy with IBM System z and z/OS drives improvements and new capabilities ranging from zIIP processors for freeing up capacity and reducing DB2 costs for distributed workloads, to encryption and MIDAW channel improvements, and Secure Socket Layer (SSL). And our focus on performance continues in areas that include load and reorg CPU reductions and improved logging, insert, and varying length data performance.
Business resiliency innovations
One of the core value propositions of the System z platform is business resiliency — the ability to keep your business running even when things go wrong or changes need to be made. DB2 V9 offers innovations that drive new value in resiliency through scalability functions, fewer planned and unplanned outages due to new features, and improvements to enhance performance, usability, and availability in data sharing environments.
Refer to the Description section of this announcement for further details on the exciting new capabilities DB2 V9 delivers. A limited number of additional customers may be accepted for the DB2 V9.1 for z/OS, 5635-DB2, beta program.

Specified operating environment
Hardware requirements
Note that the information on hardware and software requirements in the following sections is preliminary and applies to the beta version of DB2® V9 for z/OS®. Changes should be expected for the generally available product.
Processors: DB2 for z/OS operates on any processor that supports z/Architecture™, including zSeries® z800, z890, z900, z990, IBM System z9™ 109, or comparable processor. The system must have enough real storage to satisfy the combined requirements of:
- DB2
- z/OS
- Other customer-required applications
In addition, 64-bit virtual addressing support will probably require increased real storage for a workload compared to DB2 for z/OS and OS/390® V8.
Sufficient disk storage must be available to satisfy the user's information storage requirements and can consist of any direct-access facility supported by the system configuration and the programming system.
In addition to listing auxiliary storage and data communications devices, this section identifies function-dependent hardware requirements and virtual storage requirements.
Auxiliary storage: DB2 is independent of both disk and tape device type. You can use any magnetic, optical, or tape device that is supported by the data facilities component of z/OS for the DB2 data sets.
The following DB2 data sets are supported by the following device types:
- Active recovery log data sets: disk
- Archive recovery log data sets: disk, tape
- Image copy data sets: disk, tape
- Bootstrap data sets: disk
- User data sets: disk, tape (if migrated by HSM)
- DB2 catalog data sets: disk
- Work data sets (for utilities): disk, tape
If these data sets are on disk that is shared with other z/OS systems, you should use global resource serialization to prevent concurrent access by more than one z/OS system.
The minimum disk space requirement, based on installing DB2 using the panel default values, is approximately 1 GB. You need additional disk space for their data.
If you use dual logging and tape for the log archiving device, you need at least two tape drives.
Data communications devices: DB2 operations can be controlled from:
- The system console
- Authorized IMS™ Transaction Manager terminals
- Authorized CICS® terminals
- TSO terminals (by authorized users)
Function-dependent hardware requirements
DRDA® Data Stream Encryption: DRDA Data Stream Encryption can optionally use cryptographic hardware in a Cryptographic Coprocessor, Cryptographic Accelerator, or Cryptographic instructions.
Encryption and decryption functions: Built-in functions for encryption and decryption require cryptographic hardware in a Cryptographic Coprocessor, Cryptographic Accelerator, or Cryptographic instructions.
Query management functions
DB2 QMF™ components of DB2 V9 for z/OS
- DB2 QMF for TSO/CICS requires a display station supported by Graphical Data Display Manager (GDDM®).
- DB2 QMF High Performance Option (HPO) requires a display station that is supported by ISPF.
- DB2 QMF for WebSphere® requires 250 MB hard disk space (multilingual installation).
-
DB2 QMF for Workstation: DB2 QMF for Windows™ requires a workstation that supports:
- A 32-bit operating system
- Network connectivity
- Approximately 70 MB of disk space (single language installation)
- Minimum of 256 MB of RAM

Notes
- z/OS Unicode Services and appropriate conversion definitions are required.
- Some of the basic operation of a DBMS is provided by utility functions, such as backup, recovery, reorganization, loading and unloading data, gathering statistics, and checking data, indexes, and large objects. You should ensure that these functions are provided either by ordering DB2 Utilities Suite for z/OS V9 (5655-N97) or by obtaining equivalent function elsewhere.
Virtual storage requirements: The amount of space needed for the common service area (CSA) below the 16 MB line is less than 40 KB for each DB2 subsystem and 24 KB for each IRLM. High concurrent activity, parallelism, or high contention can require more CSA.
Most of the DB2 common data resides in the extended common service area. Most modules, control blocks, and buffers reside in the extended private area.
Function-dependent program requirements: The following functions of DB2 require specific licensed programs or features of licensed programs before they can be used:
- Application execution: Applications written in high-level programming languages, such as applications or stored procedures written in the C language and using the ODBC or CLI interfaces to DB2, require Language Environment at runtime. Applications or stored procedures written in Java™, such as those using the JDBC or SQLJ interfaces to DB2, require IBM Developer Kit for OS/390, Java 2 Technology Edition (5655-I56) at run time.
-
Extenders:
- XML Extender: Use of the XML Extender requires Language Environment and the IBM XML Parser for z/OS, C++ Edition to be available at run time. The required parser is provided with Release 6 of the XML Toolkit for z/OS (5655-J51). Use of either the XMLFile type or the "Getting Started" material requires the z/OS UNIX® System Services element of z/OS. XML Extender is deprecated in DB2 V9 for z/OS and may be removed in the future.

DB2 V9 includes the following features, some of which have requirements of their own, above and beyond what the base DB2 product requires. This section identifies the requirements for using these features, but does not repeat the requirements for DB2 V9.
Recommendation: Before using these features, refer to the installation information for these features to ensure you have all required and recommended products.
- z/OS V1.8
-
DFSMShsm V1.8
- DFSMSdss
- FlashCopy® V2
- Now in V9 of DB2 for z/OS, the system-level utilities and the RECOVER utility will be enhanced to take advantage of new features provided by the z/OS V1.8 DFSMShsm services to further facilitate management of your backup and recovery needs.
- Encryption and decryption functions: Built-in functions for encryption and decryption require z/OS Cryptographic Services Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF).
-
Group Bufferpool Batching
- Coupling Facility (CF) level 12
- CF level 13 recommended for castout enhancement and lock table cleanup enhancement
- CF level 14 recommended when using System Managed Duplexing for lock or SCA structures
-
MERGE and SELECT from MERGE: DB2 Connect V9.1 for CLI support of MERGE
Note: There is no support for embedded static SQL support.
- DRDA Data Stream Encryption can optionally use z/OS Cryptographic Services ICSF.
-
msys for Setup DB2 Customization Center is enabled for the IBM Managed
System Infrastructure (msys). The DB2 Customization Center simplifies
the task of installing or migrating DB2 for z/OS. DB2 Customization
Center is available as a plug-in for msys for Setup and therefore
requires msys for Setup. msys for Setup is a base element of z/OS.
In addition, msys for Setup has three components
- msys workplace code, which runs on the workstation and provides the user with a Windows Explorer-style GUI to manage z/OS products. The workplace code has to be downloaded from the z/OS host.
- msys host program, which runs on a driving system that manages all installation/customization tasks.
-
msys management directory, which uses an LDAP server to store the
configuration data for all msys-enabled products.
For information about installing and using msys for Setup, refer to Managed System Infrastructure for Setup Installation (SC33-7997).
-
DB2 QMF for TSO/CICS, DB2 QMF High Performance Option (HPO), DB2 QMF for
WebSphere, DB2 QMF for Workstation, all of which are components of the

Planning information
Migration considerations: Review the sections in this announcement that describe the hardware and software dependencies for DB2 V9.1 for z/OS. Note that DB2 V9.1 for z/OS supports migration only from V8. Customers not yet running V8 should plan to migrate to DB2 UDB for z/OS, V8 as preparation for migration to V9.1.
IBM added many data server capabilities in DB2 V9.1 for z/OS and reduced or removed support for some functions. As you prepare to migrate your subsystems to V9.1, you should be aware of the following changes:
- AIV Extender is removed.
- Text Extender is removed.
- Net Search Extender is removed.
- Net.data, which was stabilized at the V7 level, is removed. WebSphere is the strategic IBM solution for delivering DB2 data to Web applications.
- DB2 Estimator, available via Web download for DB2 V8, will not be provided for DB2 V9.1 for z/OS.
- DB2-managed stored procedure support is removed. Workload Manager (WLM) managed stored procedure address spaces is the strategic solution for stored procedure support, and migration to WLM-managed stored procedure spaces is required for use of stored procedures in DB2 V9.1 for z/OS.
- Simple table space creation support is removed. DB2 V9.1 for z/OS no longer implicitly creates simple table spaces nor allows customers to create simple table spaces. However, DB2 V9.1 for z/OS continues to support simple table spaces created in previous versions.
- The Online help facility is replaced. Prior help support has been replaced by the Information Management Software for z/OS Solutions Information Center (Information Center). The Web-based Information Center is updated periodically during the life of each DB2 version, thus ensuring reader access to the most up-to-date information.
- JDBC/SQLJ Driver for OS/390 and z/OS support is removed. All Java application programs and Java routines that are currently written to work with the JDBC/SQLJ Driver for OS/390 and z/OS need to be modified to work with the IBM DB2 Driver for JDBC and SQLJ (formerly known as the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver). The steps for migrating JDBC and SQLJ applications from the legacy JDBC/SQLJ Driver for OS/390 and z/OS to the IBM DB2 Driver for JDBC and SQLJ can be found in the Application Programming Guide and Reference for Java. In addition, all WLM-managed stored procedures address spaces that are set up to execute Java routines must be modified to reference the IBM DB2 Driver for JDBC and SQLJ.
- Plans and packages should be rebound on current releases to benefit from optimizer enhancements. For the V9.1 beta release, packages from DB2 V4, or earlier, will be automatically rebound when accessed by DB2 V9.
For more detailed information on migrating to V9.1, refer to the DB2 V9.1 for z/OS Installation Guide (GC26-9636).
As part of ongoing efforts to deliver the most current technology and to remove those features that no longer provide our customers with strategic benefits, the following features are deprecated in DB2 V9.1 for z/OS and may be dropped from future versions:
- XML Extender.
- DRDA is the strategic solution for network computing support in DB2 V9.1 for z/OS. DRDA replaces the private protocol access, and IBM has no plans for additional private protocol enhancements. Private protocol does not support stored procedures or TCP/IP, both of which are available with DB2 for OS/390, V5 and above. Private protocol also does not support network computing enhancements in Versions 6, 7, 8, and 9. Conversion of private protocol applications to DRDA is highly recommended to obtain the full network computing capability of DB2 V9.1 for z/OS.
Installability: Clients should refer to the Program Directory shipped with the product. DB2 V9.1 for z/OS, except as noted, will be shipped on 3480 cartridges. Also included will be a Program Directory for each orderable feature as follows:
- GIS0-0013-00 DB2 for z/OS Program Directory
- GIS0-0014-00 DB2 Management Clients Package Program Directory
- GIS0-0017-00 DB2 Utilities Suite Program Directory
- GIS0-0015-00 QMF Classic Edition Program Directory
- GIS0-0016-00 QMF Enterprise Edition Program Directory
- GIS0-0019-00 z/OS Application Connectivity to DB2 for z/OS
In addition, the DB2 Management's Client Package feature is delivering the DB2 Connect Personal Edition CD/ROM.
Direct customer support
Direct customer support is provided by IBM Operational Support Services — SoftwareXcel Enterprise Edition or SoftwareXcel Basic Edition. These fee services can enhance your productivity by providing voice and electronic access into the IBM support organization. IBM Operational Support Services — SoftwareXcel Enterprise Edition or SoftwareXcel Basic Edition will help answer questions pertaining to usage, how-to, and suspected software defects for eligible products.
Installation and technical support is provided by IBM Global Services. For more information on services, call 888-426-4343.
Eligible customers can obtain installation and usage assistance from the Industry Support Center through a telephone response line.
Security, auditability, and control
DB2 V9.1 for z/OS uses the security and auditability features of the host z/OS systems. It also provides facilities for the protection and control of its resources. These facilities include controls for:
- System access
- Data access and control
- Concurrent access
- Data recovery
- Accounting and auditing
The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features,
administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communication
facilities.

IBM Global Services has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put you on the road to higher systems availability. IBM Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that provides you with an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available on the IBM eServer platform. These services provide the opportunity for greater system availability due to faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. IBM Electronic Services is comprised of two separate, but complementary, elements: IBM Electronic Services news page and IBM Electronic Service Agent™.
IBM Electronic Services news page provides you with a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used by customers to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The IBM Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that resides on your IBM eServer system. It is designed to proactively monitor events and transmit system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, customer-defined timetable. The IBM Electronic Service Agent tracks system inventory, hardware error logs, and performance information. If the server is under a current IBM maintenance service agreement or within the IBM warranty period, the Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to provide proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent will be made available to IBM service support representatives when they are helping answer your questions or diagnosing problems.
