Audience : Database Administrators. 

Prerequisites: Students should already have basic skills in the main utilities.

Duration: 3 Days. Hands on.

 

This course is designed to teach database administrators advanced topics about Db2 for z/OS utilities with a combination of lecture materials and extensive lab exercises.

IBM® Db2 utilities help you maintain data in your Db2 for z/OS® databases. Generally, you use Db2 utilities to perform large-scale operations across one or more table spaces.

For example, you can use utilities to do the following maintenance tasks:

  • Make copies of your data, which can later be used as a basis for recovery.
  • Recover data, either to the current time or some point in the past.
  • Load thousands or even many millions of rows into your database.
  • Reorganize data so that space is used in the most efficient way possible.

 

 

Course objectives include:

  • Use RUNSTATS to accelerate the performance of a given SQL access.
  • Employ DSN1COPY, REPAIR, and DIAGNOSE for DBA tasks which are not recovery-oriented.
  • Use parallel index build with the LOAD, REORG and REBUILD INDEX utilities.
  • Load partitions in parallel.
  • Determine the appropriate LOAD options to use while considering concurrency and performance requirements.
  • Choose appropriate options with REORG and UNLOAD to achieve optimal performance and availability.
  • Provide appropriate LISTDEF, TEMPLATE, and OPTIONS utility control statements for use in DB2 utilities.
