Operational Analytics with optimized Common Data Provider (CDP) and the DB2 Analytics Accelerator

The new IBM Common Data Provider (CDP) for z Systems, V1.1 provides for optimized integration with the DB2 Analytics Accelerator. The CDP can provide access to z/OS operational SMF log data in batch mode or in near-real-time streaming mode; it has been optimized for transforming and loading SMF log records directly into the Accelerator with DB2 for z/OS just containing schema definition (no SMF log data itself). This enables significant faster report generation via Tivoli Decision Support (TDS) for increased business agility. This presentation describes the architecture of this integrated IT operational analytics solution.
