Db2 z/OS is a powerful beast on its own, but the recent advances in cloud and AI technologies indicate imminent potential for benefits from an external extra push in the right direction, given the right usecases. The main purposes for which a hybrid cloud setup is beneficial involve data integration and analytics. The possibilities are practically endless in terms of how to implement the actual data processing in the cloud, especially given the open format that lakehouse uses. So the main question remains: how to get the Z data efficiently and reliably available for the cloud applications. We will look into Data Gate as the natural answer to that question, given its high-performance load and replication capabilities of Db2® z/OS, IMS®, and VSAM data into watsonx.data®.

Provide overview of mainly open source software and the value it can provide in day-to-day life with respect to turning data into value. In this presentation I give an overview of software and ideas that can be used to get yourself started in exploiting both data and software in your day to day life. Working source code will be provided for you to get started with this.

 Application developers and database administrators alike are under constant pressure to drive down costs and reduce CPU cycles. This talk suggests some technical tips and cultural changes to Developers, DBAs, and Operations, to address this ubiquitous challenge facing mainframe enterprises world-wide.

Do you want to know when unauthorized access to Db2 has been attempted? Maybe learn who messed up your data? In this presentation we will learn what Db2 for z/OS has to offer for security auditing. The audience will get a good understanding of audit practices; traces and policies that can help to prevent unauthorized access.

What is new in Db2 13 for application developers? Let's explore these topics in this session. We will cover SQL related enhancements (more granular concurrency control, SQL DI, …) as well as performance improvements (FTB enhancements, sort enhancements, …) that application developers can benefit from.
