Available in replay for your convenience, register now.
Developed for: Managers of IT and database administration, application developers, application database administrators, system administrators, system programmers and system architects
Technical level: Introductory
New functions are usually cause for celebration because they make your life so much easier, and that’s true in DB2® utilities as well. But when new functions are added to any software, existing procedures need to be adapted to take advantage of the new functionality. Skip this important step and you may later face problems that easily could have been avoided. Learn from the experience of real-world businesses, and start with a list of best practices.
At the core of any database management system are the utilities. The volume of data and complexity of database objects are growing exponentially, thus affecting the impact of managing these items. Join us – and our special guest from Rocket Software – for this complimentary teleconference and get an overview of utility-related best practices that are recommended from the lab. We’ll share recommendations for DB2 for z/OS® V8 and DB2 9. We’ll discuss the DB2 Utilities Suite for z/OS, which helps ensure that you can deliver the highest degree of availability and performance. We’ll also discuss the DB2 Utilities Enhancement Tool for z/OS, which enhances the manageability of utility processing and your utility maintenance window.
In this teleconference, you’ll learn how these powerful DB2 utilities can help through:
- Full support for DB2 9 for z/OS enhancements, such as universal table spaces, clone tables, new data, new rounding modes and pureXML™ storage
- Enablement for IBM System z™ Integrated Information Processors (zIIP)
- A user interface to view and monitor all utility thread activity based on user-defined filter criteria
- More control over utility processing allowing you to view and manage thread activity by different characteristics such as object name, connection, DB2 user ID or job name
- Optional ability to cancel unwanted threads and reduce unwanted contention on an object
Speakers: Haakon Roberts, Senior Technical Staff Member, DB2 Service and Development and Tom Hubbard, Product Specialists Manager, Rocket Software
