Session title: Data Masking for Db2 on z/OS
Session abstract: This presentation discusses requirements for algorithms that can be used to mask personally identifiable information (PII) in QA and test environments that were populated with production data. Continue reading “Data Masking for Db2 on z/OS”
Session title: Db2 for z/OS Stored Procedures: the System Perspective
Session abstract: This session provides information on Db2 for z/OS stored procedures that can be particularly relevant to Db2 “systems” people – systems programmers and DBAs. Continue reading “Db2 for z/OS Stored Procedures: the System Perspective”
Session title: Managing, Monitoring, Tuning and Architecting a Db2 for z/OS DDF Workload
Session abstract: At a great many Db2 for z/OS sites, applications that utilize the distributed data facility (DDF) comprise the fastest-growing segment of the overall Db2 workload, and such applications are increasingly found to be the very largest workload component – bigger than CICS-Db2, bigger than IMS-Db2, bigger than batch-Db2. Continue reading “Managing, Monitoring, Tuning and Architecting a Db2 for z/OS DDF Workload”
Session title: Data-as-a-Service: the REST Interface to Db2 for z/OS
Session abstract: Non-DBMS-specific SQL interfaces such as JDBC and ODBC have been helpful for developers, enabling them to write code that accesses relational database management systems without having to customize that code for a specific relational DBMS; nowadays, however, a growing number of developers want a data-access interface that provides a still-higher level of abstraction with regard to the particulars of a specific data-serving platform.

Session title: An Audit A Day Keeps the Lawyers at Bay!
Session abstract: Audit and Compliance is one of the big challenges companies are facing these days. With GDPR and a bunch of other laws either in force or “coming soon to an auditor near you” it is time to bite the bullet and start working with the auditor not against. Continue reading “An Audit A Day Keeps the Lawyers at Bay!”
Session title: From Virtually Constrained to Really Overcommitted
Session abstract: With the 31-bit virtual storage relief of DB2 and other z/OS middleware customers no longer need to rely on the old ‘diet plan’. However the answer is not to simply open the gates for more threads/connections to come in. Continue reading “From Virtually Constrained to Really Overcommitted”
Session title: The zGui (r)evolution – First hands on experience and best practices
Session abstract: The evolution of the mainframe had a variety of GUI approaches, some lasted for a while, some never took off at all. However, it was never THE COMMON ecosystem used by all products and all vendors. At the 2018 SHARE, IBM, Rocket Software and CA Technologies announced ZOWE – THE z ecosystem to securely manage, control, script and develop. Of course, an announcement is probably not the final truth, but from what I’ve already seen and used I’m more than enthused. Continue reading “The zGui (r)evolution – First hands on experience and best practices”
Session title: zIIP Experiences – Exploitation, Not Abuse
Session abstract: With the constant focus on controlling MIPs consumption on today’s mainframe, IT staffs are being pressed to get every cycle possible out of their System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) specialty engines and the now defunct System z Application Assist Processors (zAAP).
