IBM DB2 Administration Toolkit for z/OS the SAP Edition

IBM DB2 Administration Toolkit for z/OS the SAP Edition (5697-L30) is comprised of DB2 Administration Tool and DB2 Object Comparison Tool.


 

DB2 Administration Tool
  • Reduces the complexity of managing and executing SAP-initiated database changes, which enables your DBA to make faster and more accurate decisions and provides important features for administration of SAP ERP systems
  • Offers fast and easy navigation of a DB2 catalog, allowing you to issue DB2 commands, execute utilities, and examine schema structures

DB2 Object Comparison Tool
  • Supports SAP ERP by promoting database object integrity when objects are transported from test to production
  • Provides quality assurance by comparing objects in SAP ERP databases before they are transported, e.g. from test to production. It helps to identify potential risks or long running changes
  • Reduces the time to verify that changes are propagated to each SAP ERP instance. While there are seldom "ad hoc" changes, when SAP R/3 does change or send instructions to change the structures, these changes will sometimes take a long time to accomplish, including test.
