Talking about Analytics and Machine learning is one thing, but where are the areas where it can give us answers that we would not have without? We will discuss some examples from a newly released solution from CA Technologies called Mainframe Operational Intelligence

DB2 System Profile monitoring is available as of DB2 9, but it is still not widely used and known. However this is a quite strong DB2 capability that can help with variety of situations: manage and monitor threads and connections, model DB2 production environment, tune application behaviour. This presentation will equip you with a good understanding of DB2 profiles in general, as well as when and how to best use them.

A look at how open source and surrounding ecosystem allow Big Data to be a core and synergetic part of our Watson Data Platform architecture

How to predict performance problem in design phase. This presentation will address DB2 for z/OS management and tuning. Should we start with the SLA expectations in design phase?. We will start with data modeling, database design, testing ... and what DB2 has with ITIL.

Mobile is having a profound effect on core systems. This session looks at new technology being offered as part of DB2 for z/OS, which allows mobile applications to seamlessly access and integrate into your existing IBM DB2 z/OS servers. It positions existing z technologies and introduces a new RESTful interface created especially for mobile access leveraging the existing DB2 distributed data facility (DDF) capability, which includes thread pooling, and enclave classification.

The data lake is a solution for a system of insight that has gained strong momentum with clients. This presentation describes the deployment of a data lake in the context of z Systems analytics. Data lakes are usually associated with offloading large data volumes to an open source platform. We present DB2 for z/OS and the DB2 Analytics Accelerator deployment options with the data lake, and illustrate how the DB2 Analytics Accelerator enables more choices for making DB2 for z/OS and other z Systems data available for analytics while keeping z Systems within the analytics lifecycle. This limits data movement and performs analytics close to where the data originates and resides.  

Have you ever wanted to understand the behaviour of your DB2 system, determine what is going right or wrong and why? DB2 tracing is one of the strongest, but least understood, mechanisms that is out there to answer exactly these questions. In this presentation you will get a solid understanding of DB2 instrumentation facility, you will be guided through the variety of DB2 traces and learn how they would help to address system monitoring and tuning challenges. You will also get familiar with the newest and most useful tracing capabilities introduced in the latest releases of DB2.
