9:15 - 10:15 Db2 for z/OS and data set encryption (Mark Rader, IBM)
Db2 for z/OS supports data set encryption as part of pervasive encryption on the Z platform. This session discusses the Db2 changes and the roles that participate in encrypting sensitive data. Included in this discussion are the new Db2 features that allow Db2 staff to specify key labels for encryption, as well as positioning data set encryption relative to other options for encrypting Db2 data.
10:15 - 10:30 Break
10:30 - 11:30 Db2 12: How do I keep up with this stuff ?? (Michael Cotignola, BMC) We’ll take a quick look at the usual suspects: Reliability, Availability, Scalability, Security But… we can’t forget about: Analytics, Autonomics, Cloud, Mobile, Machine Learning…
11:30 - 12:15 Lunch
12:15 – 1:15 How Can Db2 DBAs Get Agile ? (Frank Rhodes, BMC) In this session, Frank will cover:
Understand the need for Db2 for z/OS DBAs to participate in agile deployment of applications. Discuss how to automate and speed up the process of validating SQL changes before they are promoted to production.
Discuss the issues around schema changes associated with application deployments. Understand why the communication of outage and impact information is so important. Discuss the importance of test provisioning for Db2 for z/OS in a DevOps environment.
1:15-2:00 Break
2:00 - 3:00 Data Masking for Db2 on z/OS (Kai Stroh, UBS Hainer, Inc.) This presentation discusses requirements for algorithms that can be used to mask personally identifiable information (PII) in QA and test environments that were populated with production data.
3:00 - 4:00 Know your limits! (Ulf Heinrich, SEGUS) In this presentation I will show and explain the current number of limits within Db2 on z/OS starting with relatively basic simple things like DSSIZE or PIECESIZE. Moving on to Linear Dataset limits (32 for Segmented spaces, 254 for LOB ) we then will have a quick look at how the COPYPOOL is looking before diving off to the world of PBGs where you must be aware of MAXPARTIONS among other things. Then we will review SEQUENCES and Numeric Primary Key usage before finally delving into the abstract limit of Db2 within the Db2 engine including DBATs etc.
