DB2 for z/OS Sessions provides you the best technical content about IBM’s flagship database. IBM Distinguished Engineers talk about product updates, V10 Migration experiences and enhancements. Industry experts and Leading Gold Consultants provides you the best practices and tips&tricks from the ground. Top User speakers share their experiences with DB2 for z/OS Migration and performance tuning efforts. Top vendor experts talk about experiences and new functions. What you will learn from those sessions will provide the maximum ROI to your skills and to your enterprise.

For instance;

Terry Purcell's session called "What's new from the optimizer in DB2 10 for z/OS?" will have the latest query optimization enhancements for DB2 10 for z/OS, the world’s most respected cost based optimizer. And as delivery of DB2 10 draws closer, the plan solidifies, and beta customer and internal measurement feedback is more readily available. This presentation will share the insight uncovered in the early usage, provide the motivation for each enhancement, and highlight that actual enhancements


John Campbell's "DB2 10 for z/OS Planning and Very Early Migration Experience" will introduce and discuss very early experiences and lessons to be learned with DB2 10 for z/OS. It will provide quick hits on preparing for and executing the migration, performance expectations and opportunities, virtual storage constraint relief, some instrumentation changes, use of 1MB real storage frame size, use of hash access, value of rebind, etc.


Bryan Paulsen with "DB2 10 for z/OS - John Deere's Beta Experience" will talk about John Deere's participation to the IBM Beta program for DB2 10 for z/OS. This presentation will introduce you to some of the new features available in DB2 10 that we tested at John Deere. You will gain a general understanding of these features along with some items of interest we found while testing. I will also introduce you to some of the equipment John Deere makes during the course of the presentation.


And Last but not the least Frank Petersen with "Experience DB2 10 experiences" will go through the experiences from Bankdata/JN data concerning going to DB2 10. Bankdata took part in the beta program for DB2 10 and there will be some brief information about this process. In the spring 2011 the Bankdata systems are planned to go through a 6 months process to be upgraded to DB2 10. Frank will give experiences from this process, both from a performance related view as from talking about problems met during the way. He will try to make the presentation as up to date as possible as the process is continuing right up to the conference.
