Technical level: Introductory
When new functions are added to the DB2® utilities, some existing procedures might not be adapted to take advantage of the new technology. This can cause problems in the future that could easily be avoided. Recent experience with customers has been captured in an updated list of best practices that will help ensure you get the most out of your DB2 utilities implementation – while avoiding pitfalls and planning mistakes.
Join us for this complimentary webcast, hosted by IBM and Rocket Software, for an updated overview of utility-related best practices, based on lab recommendations for DB2 for z/OS® V8 and DB2 9. No matter your skill level, upon completion of this session you’ll be able to identify new utility functions and apply them in your shop.
We’ll discuss the functions and advantages of DB2 Utilities Suites for z/OS and DB2 Utilities Enhancement Tool for z/OS, including:
- Support for DB2 9 for z/OS enhancements, such as universal table spaces, not-logged table spaces, clone tables, new data types, new rounding mode, and pureXML® storage.
- Cancelling active threads transparently and blocking new threads on DB2 objects during batch jobs
- Minimizing downtime due to routine DB2 data maintenance, while ensuring the highest degree of data integrity
Speakers: Haakon Roberts, IBM Senior Technical Staff Member, DB2 Service and Development and Tom Hubbard, Product Specialists Manager, Rocket Software
