Developed for: Technical database administrators, systems programmers, application developers and database administrators
Technical level: Basic - intermediate
When new functions are added to DB2® utilities or administration products, existing procedures are not always adapted to take advantage of the new circumstances. This can cause problems later that could easily be avoided. Knowing best practices will enable you to take advantage of the latest DB2 features, including automating repetitive tasks so that DBAs have more time to work on improving performance.
Whether your DB2 for z/OS® environment supports data warehousing, CRM or Web-based applications, DB2 utilities are the cornerstone to the successful implementation of any DB2 for z/OS initiative. In fact, managing data growth along with database performance, and performing routine administration, is one of the most important database activities for today’s enterprise. Join us for this complimentary teleconference as we discuss some of the latest features of the DB2 Utilities Suite for z/OS. You’ll learn which DB2 utility jobs can be automated to conduct routine maintenance – which helps reduce the cost of doing business. Using the newest features in the DB2 Automation Tool for z/OS Version 3.1, you’ll find ways to increase application availability by reducing the utility maintenance window, and simultaneously save valuable system and personnel resources.
In this session, you’ll come away with a good understanding of how to:
- Automate the execution of DB2 utilities such as COPY, REORG, and MODIFY with space reallocation based on user-specified thresholds
- Allow easy creation of utility job specifications via profiles that may be managed across subsystems and environments
- Take adavantage of the latest DB2 utility enhancements and how to maximize their use in your environment
Speakers: Haakon Roberts, Senior Technical Staff Member, DB2 Service and Development; and Jennifer Nelson, Product Specialist, Rocket Software
