KEYNOTE

“IBM Database Management Systems: Trends and Directions”

Our keynote this year features new release and version announcement for all three products: DB2 12 for z/OS, IMS 14, and DB2 11 for Linux, Unix and Windows. The IBM presenter from each product area will have time to give an overview of the information for more deep dives into the new versions.

Maryela Weihrauch is an IBM Distinguished Engineer and z Systems Analytics world-wide technical sales and client champion. She has extensive experience with DB2 regarding systems, application, and database design. Maryela is very engaged in enterprises world-wide, driving the adoption of new analytical technologies. Her most recent role in DB2 for z/OS Development has involved determining DB2 z/OS strategy for HTAP (Hybrid Transaction and Analytics Processing). This includes IDAA strategy and implementation, as well as DB2's application enablement strategy. Maryela is a member of the IBM Academy of Technology and frequently shares her experience at conferences.

George Baklarz, B. Math, M. Sc, Ph.D. Eng., has spent 30 years in IBM working on various aspects of database technology (it seems longer, trust me). He has worked in every department in the Toronto DB2 Development lab and generally can't keep a job for more than 18 months. George has a Doctorate in Computer Engineering, which took him only 13 years to get. The Engineering Faculty didn't like the fact that he worked at IBM - they felt that part-time students would never finish their degree if they had to work for a living! IBM on the other hand wondered how he could work while trying to get a degree! George currently pretends to work as part of the Core Database Technical Sales group (aka DB2) and creates PowerPoint slides for a living.

Greg Vance is a Senior Software Engineer in the IMS Development organization and member of the IMS Architecture Council.

"DB2 and Application Programming: Let me explain it to you again!" Brain Laube

Manulife SQLCODE -805 (reason code 2 or 3), DBRM, contokens, packages, plans, collections, static sql (& dynamic sql), DSNHLI and "attaching" to DB2, syspackage and syspackstmt BIND vs REBIND bind parms This presentation topic idea is based upon my experience as a "application" DB2 DBA supporting developers of DB2 applications in dev and prod. I find myself constantly explaining the same type of DB2 application error (often sqlcode -805) and DB2 concepts to these various end-users. The default action for SQLCODE -805 is often to just BIND the DBRM and hope for the best... But understanding how it all works and fits together provides context and helps understand WHY the error occurs. I often end up explaining to the requestor what is static sql and why it is a "thing" (the pros and cons). I then go through and explain how to map the -805 message information to the information in the DB2 catalog and how it all connects together.

“Cloud 101 for a DB2 DBA” Chris Eaton IBM Toronto

How do DB2 DBAs get into “the cloud”? What do we need to know to help our companies leverage cloud services and why should we bother (other than the CIO in my company is asking what our cloud strategy is for database)? In this session we will start with some Cloud 101 topics like what infrastructure as a service and platform as a service really means and what a DBA needs to know about each. We will focus on Softlayer which is IBMs cloud platform and also Bluemix which is the hosting location for dashDB and SQLDB (both of which are managed DB2 offerings in the cloud). I will cover where the softlayer data centers are as many companies have to comply with regulatory requirements for where their data must reside. I will also discuss how to create DB2 instances on the cloud and what you can and can’t do with them (that is, what DBA activities are managed for me and what do I have control over). We will complete the cloud 101 discussion with a DB2 persons view of how I link in other data services and why I would or would not use them like Cloudant, dataWorks, Watson Analytics and BigInsights on Cloud.

“Zen and the Art of Database Performance” Steve Rees IBM Canada

Performance problems can be tough to solve, especially if you've not had to deal with them much before. In this session, we'll go through a step-by-step, decision tree-based approach for tackling performance problems. We start by identifying the core area of the bottleneck - is it time spent processing, or time spent just waiting? Then, by using DB2's powerful monitoring interfaces, we refine our diagnosis, drilling down layer by layer. This logical, efficient approach not only helps us get to root cause, but it does so in a way that avoids wasting time by "trying random stuff" which isn't likely to help. Based on a prior & highly successful IDUG session of the same name, this presentation has been completely revised and updated for 2015, using the latest levels of DB2 LUW. Steve Rees is an IBM Senior Technical Staff Member focusing on DB2 LUW performance. Steve joined the IBM Toronto Laboratory in 1991, and has worked on DB2 LUW ever since.
