Abstracts:
Using REXX with Db2
REXX is a great tool on z/OS for administrators and developers to create
custom tools that will help them in their day to day work. REXX also
works great with Db2. This presentation will discuss the REXX/Db2
interface and give you some practical code samples to help you implement
scripts in your own environment right away.
Protecting your
Crown Jewels – Data Protection on the mainframe
This presentation will give an overall view of how to protect your most
critical assets on z/OS. We will discuss overall strategy including DB2,
RACF, Guardium, zSecure, encryption, database and file activity monitoring
and how they feed your SIEM for actionable items in real-time. We will
learn about a statement of direction regarding z/OS encryption. We will
drill down into ways to protest your "crown jewels" from being
accessed by inappropriate parties, and will alert you when they it has been
accessed by authorized credentials.
Making JSON with
SQL
In our connected world, we send and receive messages with other businesses
using different formats. One message format, JSON, is relatively new
to the mainframe. This presentation will discuss ways to work with
JSON documents using SQL functions. The emphasis is on building,
storing, and parsing documents to handle the information content. We
will also touch on a couple programming language alternatives to SQL to
achieve the same result.
Objectives:
- What is JSON?
- Comparing data types
- Converting between JSON and DB2 data types
- IBM supplied JSON functions
- Alternatives
