Distributed platforms have not gone away just because mainframes regained their place in the enterprise.
Instead, distributed computing infrastructures have evolved. Nowadays people try to marry the ease and strength of distributed platforms with the unmatched strength of mainframe technology.
This shift presents new challenges for you as DB2 specialist, and brings up questions about how set up for DRDA access and how to manage performance for distributed threads, and where DB2 Connect fits into this picture.
For these distributed connections, Java is becoming an increasingly popular way to connect to DB2 for z/OS, and the use of Java brings a whole new set of challenges to the database world as Java developers typically have no idea about how the data in the back-end is being accessed, or should be accessed.
As a DB2 system or database administrator it is important to understand how Java hooks up to DB2 for z/OS and what kind of SQL you can expect and how to handle them to maintain a high performing database environment.
After this inspiring afternoon, it should be clear that this middleware is a robust communication infrastructure for enabling distributed applications to use mainframe DB2 for z/OS.
So don’t miss this opportunity and register today for the GSE DB2 working group meeting on 27 March 2014 at NRB, Herstal.
