Moving to new releases of a database server such as DB2 for z/OS or IMS can be a daunting task. Having an implementation plan that includes the right set of tools can make a significant difference in the time, effort and protection of your valuable data assets. The ideal solution is to have a set of tools that assist not only in migrating to a new release of DB2 or IMS, but in the entire lifecycle of your critical applications that are supported by DB2 or IMS.
Using the DB2 tools, you’ll be able to identify any potential changes to your DB2 objects or SQL that could impact performance and system resources before you migrate.
The IMS tools let you let you establish a performance baseline to analyze the newer release and determine which parameters need to be set as well as capturing activity in your previous version of IMS to help determine the optimal settings.
