KEYNOTE

“IBM Database Management Systems: Trends and Directions”

Our keynote this year features new release and version announcement for all three products: DB2 12 for z/OS, IMS 14, and DB2 11 for Linux, Unix and Windows. The IBM presenter from each product area will have time to give an overview of the information for more deep dives into the new versions. Maryela Weihrauch is an IBM Distinguished Engineer and z Systems Analytics world-wide technical sales and client champion. She has extensive experience with DB2 regarding systems, application, and database design. Maryela is very engaged in enterprises world-wide, driving the adoption of new analytical technologies. Her most recent role in DB2 for z/OS Development has involved determining DB2 z/OS strategy for HTAP (Hybrid Transaction and Analytics Processing). This includes IDAA strategy and implementation, as well as DB2's application enablement strategy. Maryela is a member of the IBM Academy of Technology and frequently shares her experience at conferences. George Baklarz, B. Math, M. Sc, Ph.D. Eng., has spent 30 years in IBM working on various aspects of database technology (it seems longer, trust me). He has worked in every department in the Toronto DB2 Development lab and generally can't keep a job for more than 18 months. George has a Doctorate in Computer Engineering, which took him only 13 years to get. The Engineering Faculty didn't like the fact that he worked at IBM - they felt that part-time students would never finish their degree if they had to work for a living! IBM on the other hand wondered how he could work while trying to get a degree! George currently pretends to work as part of the Core Database Technical Sales group (aka DB2) and creates PowerPoint slides for a living. Greg Vance is a Senior Software Engineer in the IMS Development organization and member of the IMS Architecture Council. He has worked for 24 years in the IMS organization in the database and Remote Site Recovery and DBRC areas. Most recently he was the lead architect for Infosphere IMS Replication for z/OS..



DB2 FOR z/OS

"DB2 12 for z/OS Overview" Maryela Weihrauch

Maryela will present an overview of exciting new functionality which is planned to be available in DB2 12 for z/OS in 4Q 2017 as well as give a brief outlook on the topics beyond DB2 12.

"A Matter of Time: Temporal and Archive Data Management in DB2 for z/OS and IDAA" Maryela Weihrauch

You could say it was just a matter of time... Industry regulations and competitive pressures are prompting IT managers to maintain more data for longer periods of time and to provide better ways for business users to analyze past, current, and future events. To help organizations achieve these goals, IBM has built greater awareness of time into DB2 for z/OS starting with V10 and continuously enhanced in DB2 11 and 12 based on new customer use cases. Maryela introduces you to the concepts and capabilities of DB2 bi-temporal and transparent archiving in DB2 and IDAA. She will provide examples and best practice recommendations to help you understand how easy it can be to deploy it in our organization and unlock historical and archive data for analytical use cases.

"Compliance with compliments! Viable DB2 z/OS workload tracking." Ulf Heinrich

Director of Solutions Delivery, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING GmbH Audit and Compliance is a need that many companies want and have to fulfill. There's different ways and tools that promise to be able to do it, but what can they really do and what are the associated costs? This presentation introduces DB2 10/11 technology exploitation that delivers any DML, DDL, DCL being executed in a DB2 environment along with identification details. Learn how you can run



Audit analytics against a long‐term repository, pinpointing who executed a query, when and from where. Analyze your entire workload to understand access patterns and abnormalities. Ulf Heinrich is the Director of Solutions Delivery at SOFTWARE ENGINEERING GmbH. He specializes in DB2 recovery issues and database maintenance, focusing on the growing requirement for cost reduction and 24x7 operations.

His activities cover EMEA, as well as North America through SE’s U.S. subsidiary, SEGUS Inc. He’s involved in the development of SE’s maintenance and recovery solutions.

"DB2 and Application Programming: Let me explain it to you again!" Brain Laube

Manulife SQLCODE -805 (reason code 2 or 3), DBRM, contokens, packages, plans, collections, static sql (& dynamic sql), DSNHLI and "attaching" to DB2, syspackage and syspackstmt BIND vs REBIND bind parms This presentation topic idea is based upon my experience as a "application" DB2 DBA supporting developers of DB2 applications in dev and prod. I find myself constantly explaining the same type of DB2 application error (often sqlcode -805) and DB2 concepts to these various end-users. The default action for SQLCODE -805 is often to just BIND the DBRM and hope for the best... But understanding how it all works and fits together provides context and helps understand WHY the error occurs. I often end up explaining to the requestor what is static sql and why it is a "thing" (the pros and cons). I then go through and explain how to map the -805 message information to the information in the DB2 catalog and how it all connects together.

"DB2 for z/OS DBaaS and The Advantages of Automated Objects" Daniel Luksetich DanL Consulting

Database as a service will be the future of DBMS processing. There are a very robust set of database features available on DB2 for z/OS. There are a lot of good reasons to utilize these features, and many of those reasons have to do with performance. Most of the features discussed here can be utilized to save processing time and CPU cost. We'll discuss the advantages of database enforced referential integrity and constraint enforcement, stored procedures, triggers, UDFs, temporal and archive tables, check constraints, sequence objects,



optimistic locking support, and more. We'll also address the changing roles for DBAs and system administrators in the DBaaS era.

"Fun with SQL- Application Development" Daniel Luksetich DanL Consulting

“dashDB Analytics and Transactional - psst - It's DB2 in the Cloud and MoreDBA” Chris Eaton IBM Toronto

dashDB is the IBM analytics database in the cloud and has been available for some time. But just hot off the presses is a new announcement from IBM called "dashDB transactional" - a new fully managed cloud service for running transactional workload in the cloud. And guess what's under the covers of both dashDB Analytics and dashDB Transactional? It's the database you all know and love ... DB2! Join Chris as he talks about how you already know more about running your various workload in the cloud than you may think because under the covers is the database engine you are already and expert in; DB2. Chris will cover both dashDB for analytic workloads and the newly announced dashDB for transactional workloads and how they are similar and how they are different. And as a DBA we will talk about what you still need to worry about from an administration perspective and what administration tasks are managed for you because these are managed services from IBM. We will also touch on where these services run (in what countries and what cities) and what you should understand in terms of cloud security, cloud latency, etc. Chris Eaton is a Worldwide Technical Sales Leader for IBM’s Cloud Data Services organization.

“Zen and the Art of Database Performance” Steve Rees IBM Canada

Performance problems can be tough to solve, especially if you've not had to deal with them much before. In this session, we'll go through a step-by-step, decision tree-based approach for tackling performance problems. We start by identifying the core area of the bottleneck - is it time spent processing, or time spent just waiting? Then, by using DB2's powerful monitoring interfaces, we refine our diagnosis, drilling down layer by layer. This logical, efficient approach not only helps us get to root cause, but it does so in a way that avoids wasting time by "trying random stuff" which isn't likely to help. Based on a prior & highly successful IDUG session of the same name, this presentation has been completely revised and updated for 2015, using the latest levels of DB2 LUW. Steve Rees is an IBM Senior Technical Staff Member focusing on DB2 LUW performance. Steve joined the IBM Toronto Laboratory in 1991, and has worked on DB2 LUW ever since. He currently leads teams across multiple areas of DB2 performance, including pureScale and SQLDB transactional cloud, as well as Optim tools performance. Steve has an ongoing passion for developing best practices in the area of monitoring and tuning DB2, and presents regularly at conferences.
