Understanding the packaging

This section reflects the packaging as of April 2010.

• All Eclipse-based products in the Optim portfolio are at Eclipse level 3.4,and, with the April fix packs, all the Eclipse-based products supportWindows 7.

• IBM Optim Performance Manager for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windowsis available in two packages: Optim Performance Manager and OptimPerformance Manager Extended Edition. Optim Performance Manager isthe replacement for the DB2 Performance Expert for Linux, UNIX, andWindows. The Optim Performance Manager Extended Edition is thereplacement product for the IBM DB2 Performance Expert and theExtended Insight Feature. In other words, the Extended Insight feature isnow bundled with the Extended Edition instead of a separately orderablefeature.The Extended Edition package also includes integration with Tivoli andimproved tooling for configuring DB2 Workload Manager environments forpreventive performance management.



http://www.ibm.com/software/data/optim/performance-manager-extended-edition/


Optim Performance Manager Extended Edition is also available as part ofthe DB2 Performance Optimization Feature, which is included inInfoSphere® Warehouse Extended Edition. For more details on thepackaging of Optim Performance Manager Extended Edition, see theWhat’s new in Optim Performance Manager Extended Edition articlelisted in the Resources.

The user interface for Optim Performance Manager is now a Web-basedUI, but the original fat client is still currently shipped with the product.

• Optim Query Workload Tuner replaces DB2 Optimization Expert for z/OS.Optim Query Workload Tuner identifies poorly performing SQL, and itoffers a comprehensive set of expert advisors that can help improvesystem performance and lower total cost of ownership. You can find asubset of this product's capabilities in Optim Query Tuner for DB2 forz/OS, which provides query tuning advice and tools for single queries.Single query tuning capabilities for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows isalso available in Optim Query Tuner for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, andWindows. Features available in the Data Studio stand-alone package forDB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows databases include further subsetting,query formatting, access plan graphs, and single-query statistics advisor.

• IBM Data Studio is a downloadable product that contains no-chargecapabilities and supports the DB2 family and Informix® Dynamic Server.Data Studio is available in two different packaging options (seeResources for links to the downloads):

• The stand-alone package is a lighter-weight offering designedspecifically for administrators to get up and running quickly and easily.This is the package that includes no-charge, single query tuningcapabilities (for DB2 LUW and z/OS), and it includes support for DB2pureScale databases.

• The integrated development environment (IDE) package targetsdevelopers who require an integrated (shell sharing) Eclipsedevelopment environment for Java, XML, and Web services. (All ofthese capabilities are also available in Optim Development Studio aswell.) You can shell-share this package with compatibleEclipse-based products, such as InfoSphere Data Architect or OptimDevelopment Studio.

The capabilities of the stand-alone package compared to the IDEpackage (as of Version 2.2.0.2) are shown in Table 2.

Optim Development Studio and pureQuery Runtime

Overview

IBM Optim Development Studio provides an integrated development environment forcreating and testing database and Java applications that access DB2, Informix, orOracle databases. Combined with pureQuery Runtime, Optim Development Studioprovides a data access layer for Java-based applications to ease developmentcoding and to provide superior performance and manageability. These offerings:




• Provide an easy-to-use data access layer within Java applications toassist in development of Java database applications that access DB2,IDS, or Oracle databases.

• Deploy static SQL within new or existing Java applications to improveapplication performance, manageability, and security within yourapplications.

• Correlate SQL to original Java source code for quicker problem diagnosis.

• Prevent errors by enabling you to understand the impact that changing adatabase object has on the application and by directing you to therelevant place in the source code.

• Eliminate SQL injection risk by allowing only approved SQL to beexecuted.

• Deploy efficient SQL by examining new SQL metrics, including number ofexecutions, aggregated elapsed time, and minimum and maximumexecution times, to help identify hot spots in the application.

• Replace poor performing SQL with a more optimal SQL statement withoutmodifying the program source code.

Optim pureQuery Runtime also supports the capability to run existing .NETapplications against DB2 using static SQL, which can lead to reduced CPU andenhanced performance over dynamic access. See Resources for a related tutorialand article.

Optim Query Tuning solutions

Overview

Optim query tuning solutions provide an environment to identify and tune poorlyperforming SQL statements with advisors and tools to help guide you to a solution.Formerly known as DB2 Optimization Expert for z/OS, Optim Query Workload Tunerfor DB2 for z/OS provides this support for both single SQL statements and for SQLworkloads to help database administrators make the best decision to optimize entireworkloads. A subset of functionality is available for both DB2 for z/OS and DB2 forLinux, UNIX, and Windows. Both Optim Query Tuner for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, andWindows and Optim Query Tuner for DB2 for z/OS focus on single query tuning.They can help developers and application database administrators focus on querytuning efforts early in the development cycle.

Some query tuning and query formatting capabilities are available at no charge inData Studio stand-alone 2.2.0.1 for both DB2 for z/OS and for DB2 for Linux, UNIX,and Windows. For z/OS, the previous no-charge tool, Optimization Service Center,has been deprecated, which means that no new development is occurring on thatproduct.

Features

The Optimization Service Center is part of the DB2 z/OS Accessories Tools Suite.Much of the capability that was in OSC is being provided in either Data Studiostand-alone or the Optim query tuning products.

z/OS, Data Studio stand-alone, Optim Query Tuner, and Optim Query WorkloadTuner.
