Session title: Db2 for z/OS: Exploiting Large Real Storage Resources on IBM Z
Session abstract: Db2 12 for z/OS is packed with new features and functions. It’s easy to talk all day about Db2 12, and I do that on a regular basis. For this session, I’ve boiled down what I consider to be the most important Db2 12-related information into a 75-minute presentation.
I cover Z hardware and z/OS exploitation, performance enhancements, package bind possibilities, utility goodies, SQL capabilities, smarter data sharing, and more. This is my take on the best of the best of the Db2 12 story.
