European SQLAdria Seminar – Vodice 2024 Introducing Db2 Object Level History with Db2 for z/OS FL504

Db2 13 for z/OS Function Level 504 introduced Db2 Object Level History. With Object Level History, you can not only track the execution of IBM Db2 for z/OS utilities (which has been presented about at IDUG 2023), but also track which objects have been accessed during utility executions. You can use this information to even gain further insights into your daily operations and performance of IBM Db2 Utilities. In this session you will hear what information is recorded, when it has been recorded as well as ideas of how you can use this information to improve your utility processing.

European SQLAdria Seminar – Virtual Event Lessons learned in traditional mainframe application development

In the life of an application developer, there are many lessons learned how to best interact with Db2 for z/OS. This sessions looks at an exemplary set of lessons that were either learned the hard way by breaking existing applications or the easy way by improving existing applications without causing too much collateral damage. Note that this session focuses on traditional application development for mainframe applications using programming languages such as COBOL.

European SQLAdria Seminar – Šibenik 2019 Db2 for z/OS & DevOps, Database-as-a-Service comes to the Enterprise

There are multiple studies that show the relationship between an agile organization and its success in the marketplace. At the same time, the competitive marketplace is tougher than ever, with technology savvy innovators entering industries and challenging mainstay enterprises. DevOps encapsulates the efficiencies necessary for the rapid, quality delivery of the software that drives these innovators. The database portion of the application is just as important as the application code, and has been identified as a major contributor to DevOps friction. This presentation will position where the IBM Db2 DevOps Experience fits in the DevOps world. With that understanding, we will dive into the details of the architecture and workflows, along with information about what this means for companies. Develop your understanding of this solution to elevate Db2 for z/OS into the fast paced, innovative world of DevOps.”

European SQLAdria Seminar – Šibenik 2019 New way of accessing your enterprise data

Today, organizations face a proliferation of data types – different formats, structures, multiple platforms – growing in volumes and needing to be integrated faster to deliver the real-time insight required by business leaders. It’s a daunting challenge complicated by aging tools and outdated data architecture. But what if all your enterprise data could be accessed through a single API, use a single metadata model or catalogue, and utilize a single security model ? What about accessing such data with IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator ? You can add data from almost everywhere outside of Db2 for z/OS to the accelerator and access this data together. It doesn’t apply to relational data structures only, but also to non-relational data such as SMF records, IMS DBs or VSAM data sets to name only a few. This allows organizations to leverage data sources together that were never designed to be leveraged together in the first place. This session looks into existing capabilities, shares an update of latest enhancements and provides an outlook into the future
