Developed for: Database administrators, IT managers and architects, system administrators, systems programmers, operations managers
Technical level: Intermediate
There are many reasons to clone DB2® systems and refresh table spaces: create test environments, stage data-warehouse loads, and offload business processes from production to other environments. Traditional methods are time-consuming, use large amounts of host processing resources and, when copying DB2 systems, require a separate LPAR to house the copy. And because manual effort is required to research and clone data, you risk impacting your systems availability.
Today’s storage-based fast replication technologies provide services to copy DB2 data instantaneously and without using host CPU or I/O resources. Join us for this complimentary teleconference and learn how the IBM DB2 Cloning Tool for z/OS® copies entire DB2 systems within the same or shared LPAR using storage-based fast replication, and how volume identifiers and DB2 metadata are managed to allow the data to be used quickly by a cloned DB2 system.
This in-depth look at the DB2 Cloning Tool for z/OS will also cover how the product:
- Automatically translates the object IDs that differ between source and target subsystems
- Quickly clones DB2 subsystems, DB2 table spaces, or index spaces to create up-to-date test environments
- Clones a DB2 subsystem by renaming and cataloging the data sets, fixing the volume internals, and updating the DB2 internal control information
