Download or read book Implementation Best Practices for IBM DB2 BLU Acceleration with SAP BW on IBM Power Systems written by Dino Quintero and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLU Acceleration is a new technology that has been developed by IBM® and integrated directly into the IBM DB2® engine. BLU Acceleration is a new storage engine along with integrated run time (directly into the core DB2 engine) to support the storage and analysis of column-organized tables. The BLU Acceleration processing is parallel to the regular, row-based table processing found in the DB2 engine. This is not a bolt-on technology nor is it a separate analytic engine that sits outside of DB2. Much like when IBM added XML data as a first class object within the database along with all the storage and processing enhancements that came with XML, now IBM has added column-organized tables directly into the storage and processing engine of DB2. This IBM Redbooks® publication shows examples on an IBM Power SystemsTM entry server as a starter configuration for small organizations, and build larger configurations with IBM Power Systems larger servers. This publication takes you through how to build a BLU Acceleration solution on IBM POWER® having SAP Landscape integrated to it. This publication implements SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse Systems as part of the scenario using another DB2 Feature called Near-Line Storage (NLS), on IBM POWER virtualization features to develop and document best recommendation scenarios. This publication is targeted towards technical professionals (DBAs, data architects, consultants, technical support staff, and IT specialists) responsible for delivering cost-effective data management solutions to provide the best system configuration for their clients' data analytics on Power Systems.

Download or read book IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator V7 High Availability and Disaster Recovery written by Ute Baumbach and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IBM® Db2® Analytics Accelerator is a workload optimized appliance add-on to IBM DB2® for IBM z/OS® that enables the integration of analytic insights into operational processes to drive business critical analytics and exceptional business value. Together, the Db2 Analytics Accelerator and DB2 for z/OS form an integrated hybrid environment that can run transaction processing, complex analytical, and reporting workloads concurrently and efficiently. With IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS V7, the following flexible deployment options are introduced: Accelerator on IBM Integrated Analytics System (IIAS): Deployment on pre-configured hardware and software Accelerator on IBM Z®: Deployment within an IBM Secure Service Container LPAR For using the accelerator for business-critical environments, the need arose to integrate the accelerator into High Availability (HA) architectures and Disaster Recovery (DR) processes. This IBM RedpaperTM publication focuses on different integration aspects of both deployment options of the IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator into HA and DR environments. It also shares best practices to provide wanted Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO). HA systems often are a requirement in business-critical environments and can be implemented by redundant, independent components. A failure of one of these components is detected automatically and their tasks are taken over by another component. Depending on business requirements, a system can be implemented in a way that users do not notice outages (continuous availability), or in a major disaster, users notice an outage and systems resume services after a defined period, potentially with loss of data from previous work. IBM Z was strong for decades regarding HA and DR. By design, storage and operating systems are implemented in a way to support enhanced availability requirements. IBM Parallel Sysplex® and IBM Globally Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (IBM GDPS®) offer a unique architecture to support various degrees of automated failover and availability concepts. This IBM Redpaper publication shows how IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator V7 can easily integrate into or complement existing IBM Z topologies for HA and DR. If you are using IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator V5.1 or lower, see IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator: High Availability and Disaster Recovery, REDP-5104.
Download or read book IBM Software for SAP Solutions written by Yaro Dunchych and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SAP is a market leader in enterprise business application software. SAP solutions provide a rich set of composable application modules, and configurable functional capabilities that are expected from a comprehensive enterprise business application software suite. In most cases, companies that adopt SAP software remain heterogeneous enterprises running both SAP and non-SAP systems to support their business processes. Regardless of the specific scenario, in heterogeneous enterprises most SAP implementations must be integrated with a variety of non-SAP enterprise systems: Portals Messaging infrastructure Business process management (BPM) tools Enterprise Content Management (ECM) methods and tools Business analytics (BA) and business intelligence (BI) technologies Security Systems of record Systems of engagement The tooling included with SAP software addresses many needs for creating SAP-centric environments. However, the classic approach to implementing SAP functionality generally leaves the business with a rigid solution that is difficult and expensive to change and enhance. When SAP software is used in a large, heterogeneous enterprise environment, SAP clients face the dilemma of selecting the correct set of tools and platforms to implement SAP functionality, and to integrate the SAP solutions with non-SAP systems. This IBM® Redbooks® publication explains the value of integrating IBM software with SAP solutions. It describes how to enhance and extend pre-built capabilities in SAP software with best-in-class IBM enterprise software, enabling clients to maximize return on investment (ROI) in their SAP investment and achieve a balanced enterprise architecture approach. This book describes IBM Reference Architecture for SAP, a prescriptive blueprint for using IBM software in SAP solutions. The reference architecture is focused on defining the use of IBM software with SAP, and is not intended to address the internal aspects of SAP components. The chapters of this book provide a specific reference architecture for many of the architectural domains that are each important for a large enterprise to establish common strategy, efficiency, and balance. The majority of the most important architectural domain topics, such as integration, process optimization, master data management, mobile access, Enterprise Content Management, business intelligence, DevOps, security, systems monitoring, and so on, are covered in the book. However, there are several other architectural domains which are not included in the book. This is not to imply that these other architectural domains are not important or are less important, or that IBM does not offer a solution to address them. It is only reflective of time constraints, available resources, and the complexity of assembling a book on an extremely broad topic. Although more content could have been added, the authors feel confident that the scope of architectural material that has been included should provide organizations with a fantastic head start in defining their own enterprise reference architecture for many of the important architectural domains, and it is hoped that this book provides great value to those reading it. This IBM Redbooks publication is targeted to the following audiences: Client decision makers and solution architects leading enterprise transformation projects and wanting to gain further insight so that they can benefit from the integration of IBM software in large-scale SAP projects. IT architects and consultants integrating IBM technology with SAP solutions.

Download or read book Integrating Db2 for Z OS Database Changes Into a CI CD Pipeline written by Maryela Weihrauch and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this IBM® Redbooks® publication is to demonstrate the ability to perform single click automated deployments of multi-platform applications that include IBM Db2 for z/OS database schema changes by using the capabilities of IBM Db2 DevOps Experience for z/OS. Pushing the application and database code changes to a source control management system (SCM) triggers a single CI/CD pipeline execution for application and database changes. Therefore, it mitigates the dependency on the DBA to deploy those database changes in a separate process. At the same time, DBAs can safeguard the integrity of their organization's data by implementing site rules in Db2 DevOps Experience. DBAs define whether a schema change can be approved automatically after all site rules are satisfied or whether it must be approved manually. In this publication, we e provide an overview of the CI/CD pipeline architecture in the context of a sample application. We also describe the steps that are relevant to the roles of the DevOps engineer who implements the enterprise CI/CD pipeline, the DBA who is responsible for database code changes in Db2 for z/OS and for defining site rules that ensure quality in production, and the application developer who changes the application code and communicates requirements for changes in the database schema.
