This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time to market, flexibility, and cost reduction are among the top concerns common to all IT executives. If significant resource investments are placed in mature systems, IT organizations need to balance old and new technology. Older technology, such as non-IBM pre-relational databases, is costly, inflexible, and non-standard. Users store their information on the mainframe and thus preserve the skills and qualities of service their business needs. But users also benefit from standards-based modernization by migrating to IBM® DB2® for z/OS®. With this migration, users deliver new application features quickly and respond to changing business requirements more effectively. When migrating, the main decision is choosing between conversion and re-engineering. Although the rewards associated with rebuilding mature applications are high, so are the risks and customers that are embarking on a migration need that migration done quickly. In this IBM Redbooks® publication, we examine how to best approach the migration process by evaluating the environment, assessing the application as a conversion candidate, and identifying suitable tools. This publication is intended for IT decision makers and database administrators who are considering migrating their information to a modern database management system.

The authority profiles provide better separation of duties while limiting or eliminating blanket authority over all aspects of a table and its data. In addition, DB2 10 provides a set of criteria for auditing for the possible abuse and overlapping of authorities within a system. In DB2 10, improvements to security and regulatory compliance focus on data retention and protecting sensitive data from privileged users and administrators. Improvements also help to separate security administration from database administration. DB2 10 also lets administrators enable security on a particular column or particular row in the database complementing the privilege model. This IBM Redbooks® publication provides a detailed description of DB2 10 security functions from the implementation and usage point of view. It is intended to be used by database, audit, and security administrators.

Download or read book DB2 for Z OS Administration Tools for Enhanced Change Management written by Paolo Bruni and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A database administrator (DBA) has a challenging job trying to maintain databases in today's nonstop 24x7 environments. This challenge is compounded by the complexity of database structures and the time pressure of trying to be up again as soon as possible without making mistakes. When business expands, several DB2 subsystems have to be maintained, such as multiple development systems, function test, acceptance test, volume test, and production systems. Often changes have to be implemented across multiple DB2 subsystems. The two IBM DB2 for z/OS tools that help database administrators to implement database changes are the DB2 Administration Tool and the DB2 Object Comparison Tool. In this IBM Redbooks publication we show how, with Version 7.2, the two tools offer an enhanced Change Management function to manage and track the changes of your DB2 objects. We show how the tools help you define changes, resolve conflicts, register the changes, analyze the changes to generate a work statement list that applies the changes, and then run the changes in the correct order. The Change Management functions also allow you to back out completed changes and facilitate the management of a convenient audit trail. This book contains a major update to the Change Management functions described in DB2 for z/OS Tools for Database Administration and Change Management, SG24-6420-01.

Download or read book IBM DB2 11 for z OS Buffer Pool Monitoring and Tuning written by Jeff Berger and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IBM® DB2® buffer pools are still a key resource for ensuring good performance. This has become increasingly important as the difference between processor speed and disk response time for a random access I/O widens in each new generation of processor. An IBM System z® processor can be configured with large amounts of storage, which if used wisely, can help compensate by using storage to avoid synchronous I/O. Several changes in buffer pool management have been provided by DB2 10 and DB2 11. The purpose of this IBM RedpaperTM is to cover the following topics: Describe the functions of the DB2 11 buffer pools Introduce a number of matrixes for read and write performance of a buffer pool Provide information about how to set up and monitor the DB2 buffer pools The paper is intended to be read by DB2 system administrators, but it might be of interest to any IBM z/OS® performance specialist. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with DB2 and performance tuning. In this paper, we also assume that you are familiar with DB2 11 for z/OS performance. See DB2 11 for z/OS Technical Overview, SG24-8180; and DB2 11 for z/OS Performance Topics, SG24-8222, for more information about DB2 11 functions and their performance.

Download or read book Integrating Db2 for z OS Database Changes Into a CI CD Pipeline written by Maryela Weihrauch and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2021-09-13 with total page 132 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 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.
