November 7
Featured Speaker - Bill Arledge
8:00 - 9:00 - Registration - Coffee, Danish, and Networking
9:00 - 10:30 - Ins and Outs of Distributed Processing in DB2 for z/OS
More and more DB2 application workload originates off
the mainframe utilizing technologies like DB2 Connect,
Websphere Application Server, and others. This shift
to increased distributed processing presents new
challenges in understanding and managing DB2 application
implementation. This session discusses basic issues
about distributed applications, including distributed
fundamentals, implementation considerations, problem
identification, and performance management for your DB2
on z/OS distributed applications.
10:45 - 12:00 - Exploring the DB2 Directory
Metadata information stored in the DB2 Catalog is very
well known and easy to interrogate using SQL. However,
at run time, DB2 makes extensive use of the other
primary DB2 system database, the Directory or DSNDB01.
This presentation describes the contents of the Directory,
explains how to look at its contents, and discusses how
you can improve your overall system performance and
recovery times by paying a little more attention to this
often forgotten resource.
12:00 - 1:00 - Lunch
1:00 - 2:30 XML - A Technical Overview
DB2 on z/OS becomes a hybrid data server with the DB2 9
release, providing comprehensive support for XML. XML
(eXtensible Markup Language) is a key enabler for
Electronic Data Interchange allowing unstructured data
to move within and across organizations. This presentation
will clear the air about XML, describing fundamental
concepts as well as details about XML support in DB2 9,
including XML tablespace structures, specialized indexes,
and SQL access to XML data.
3:00 - 4:00 - Q&A with Bill Arledge
4:00 - 4:15 - Wrap up and adjourn
