Bob Bersano began his career as a mainframe software developer back in 1986 and has worked with IBM Db2 since version 2.1. Bob has designed and developed many different enterprise Db2 tools handling data migration, log analysis, security and backup and recovery. Bob joined Rocket Software in 1995 as a Senior Software developer to design and code a new database backup and recovery product that would exploit fast replication technology. Bob has recently moved into a role as a Senior Solutions Advisor supporting customers with backup and recovery and log analysis products. He is currently based in Chicago, and is an alumnus of the University of St. Francis with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.
Kai Stroh earned a Computer Science degree from the University of Darmstadt and is a mainframe software developer specializing in DB2 utilities for z/OS. He designs and builds innovative DB2 applications and utilities often working onsite or remotely with UBS’ international clients. He easily navigates his way around DB2 internals and knows how to move data and definitions across DB2 versions, and this includes the unique in-house DB2 subsystems which each have their own little technical adaptations.
Abstracts:
It’s Not Your Daddy’s Db2
Db2 for z/OS is always changing, adding more features and functionality… and discarding old stuff, too. If you are still using Db2 the same way you did 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago, you are probably doing things wrong! This presentation takes a look at how things are changing, not just with Db2, but also with IT and the industry. It is delivered in two parts: first looking at industry and DBA trends, and then looking at some of the specific changes made in the past few versions of Db2 that should impact how you use Db2.
Topics include:
* Industry & DBA Trends
* Db2 Modernization including coverage of database design, security and development trends.
* Some Guidance on how to move forward
The Top Ten Db2 Things You Need to Know: For DBAs and Developers
There is a veritable boatload of information and details about DB2 for z/OS available to you. But can you digest all of it? Wouldn't it be nice if you could focus on the things that were the most important for you to know instead of wading through thousands of pages of manuals, web pages, and presentations? This session will distill the essence of what you need to know into the top ten most important issues for the two biggest categories of DB2 users: application programmers and database administrators. This presentation offers a count down the top ten most important things you need to know. Along the way we will uncover what is most important for DBA, developers, and managers to understand about Db2 for z/OS. If you are interesting in understanding the hierarchy of Db2 performance tuning objectives, and moving further along in your mastery of Db2 performance, this this presentation will help.
Db2 Recovery Simplified with considerations for GDPR
Db2 recovery can be complex and only a small fraction of users will practice any type of recovery scenarios on a regular basis. Recovery scenarios can range from recovering a single object to recovering a complete Db2 system. It seems that whenever a request for recovery ends up on a DBA‘s desk, it‘s always at the most inconvenient time because more and more DBA teams seemed to be understaffed. The majority of time in a recovery exercise is spent analyzing what has happened and which objects need to be recovered.
There are a lot of utilities available in Db2 for z/OS that can help you with recovery. In order to use these utilities at the right time and in the most efficient way, it requires a lot of expertise and experience to execute the steps in the correct order in a situation that normally comes with some pressure.
On May 25th of 2018 GDPR will take effect. GDPR is designed to unify data privacy requirements across the European Union (EU) so if your company processes the information of EU Data Subjects (which include end users, customers and employees) you will need to make sure you address these key requirements. While this guideline certainly provides room for interpretation, it may result in an auditing requirement to prove that certain data or particular applications can be recovered within a given period of time.
Exploit DB2’s Log
Relational DBMS have a transaction log for recovery purposes in case of failure. However, the information stored in the log is also well suited for other purposes. Think of undoing bad transactions, data propagation, and auditing. The DB2 log is a potential gold mine if you know how to seamlessly filter and make complex log data usable. We will show you how the DB2 log is structured, what data DB2 stores in the log besides table contents, and how to find the information you are looking for. As the DB2 log can become extremely large, we will also show you a solution for automating your log analysis needs with an easy to use, panel-driven application.
