Abstracts

 

Title: At Your Service: Optimizing DB2 for z/OS for Client-Server Applications

 

Abstract: At sites around the world, an ever-greater percentage of the DB2 for z/OS workload is related to client-server applications (i.e., applications that access DB2 data via DDF, the distributed data facility). This session will provide attendees with information that they can use to help ensure that DB2 is serving network-attached applications with optimal performance, scalability, availability, and security. There will be an emphasis on exploiting features delivered in the last few releases of DB2 for z/OS.

 

Title: What Every Storage Administrator Should Do For YOUR DB2 Environment

 

Abstract: Storage Administrators can make or break your DB2 environment. Storage Administrators have many different options when dealing with disk and tape for your DB2 environment. Which options should be turned on and which turned off for an optimal DB2 configuration? Come to this session and
learn what your Storage Administrator should be doing for YOUR DB2 environment.

 

Title: Key Metrics for DB2 for z/OS Application and Subsystem Performance Monitoring and Tuning

 

Monitoring tools and various DISPLAY commands make available to you a dizzying array of informational items pertaining to the performance of an IBM DB2 for z/OS subsystem and of applications that access DB2. You can wade through all that information or focus on the handful of metrics that will enable you to efficiently and effectively assess DB2 performance in your particular environment. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in analyzing and using information in monitor reports and displays, and in DB2 command output, I'll describe in this two-part presentation the fields that contain the highest-value information and how to use it.
