Data of interest no longer resides only in the data warehouse. Often access to data is desired from other databases, filesystems, and now commonly object storage. This presentation will look at the various technologies available in Db2 to access data residing outside the database. We will do a compare and contrast of each technology and provide recommendations on when to use which.

Let's consider Db2 z/OS recovery over the years. First we were worried about hardware failures. Then we progressed to application software bugs driving recoveries. We also thought of Disaster Recovery as storms, but there are new storms on the horizon.

Make your existing application available to others as a Db2 stored procedure and Db2 REST service. In this presentation, we explore the options for making an existing PL/I, COBOL, or REXX application available as a Db2 stored procedure and/or a Db2 REST service. Topics discussed are: Creating a stored procedure wrapper, Capturing printouts and returning them as result sets, Creating a Db2 REST service, and Managing Db2 REST services.

The most commonly-used methodology implementing Db2 schema changes is to compare new/old structures and create the worklist to execute the changes – being online or deferred or the DBA nightmare of UDCL. This approach can result in some surprises, like the requirement to fall back or access path changes due to altered indexes/tables/columns/programs. This presentation will illustrate how a completely different approach can be implemented to mitigate most of the risks/challenges – as done by real customers.
