Getting Started: Journey to Modernization with IBM Z by Makenzie Manna,Ravinder Akula,Matthew Cousens,Pabitra Mukhopadhyay,Anand Shukla,IBM Redbooks Pdf
Modernization of enterprise IT applications and infrastructure is key to the survival of organizations. It is no longer a matter of choice. The cost of missing out on business opportunities in an intensely competitive market can be enormous. To aid in their success, organizations are facing increased encouragement to embrace change. They are pushed to think of new and innovative ways to counter, or offer, a response to threats that are posed by competitors who are equally as aggressive in adopting newer methods and technologies. The term modernization often varies in meaning based on perspective. This IBM® Redbooks® publication focuses on the technological advancements that unlock computing environments that are hosted on IBM Z® to enable secure processing at the core of hybrid. This publication is intended for IT executives, IT managers, IT architects, System Programmers, and Application Developer professionals.
DB2 12 for z Optimizer by Terry Purcell,IBM Redbooks Pdf
There has been a considerable focus on performance improvements as one of the main themes in recent IBM DB2® releases, and DB2 12 for IBM z/OS® is certainly no exception. With the high-value data retained on DB2 for z/OS and the z Systems platform, customers are increasingly attempting to extract value from that data for competitive advantage. Although customers have historically moved data off platform to gain insight, the landscape has changed significantly and allowed z Systems to again converge operational systems with analytics for real-time insight. Business-critical analytics is now requiring the same levels of service as expected for operational systems, and real-time or near real-time currency of data is expected. Hence the resurgence of z Systems. As a precursor to this shift, IDAA brought the data warehouse back to DB2 for z/OS and, with its tight integration with DB2, significantly reduces data latency as compared to the ETL processing that is involved with moving data to a stand-alone data warehouse environment. That change has opened up new opportunities for operational systems to extend the breadth of analytics processing without affecting the mission-critical system and integrating near real-time analytics within that system, all while maintaining the same z Systems qualities of service. Apache Spark on z/OS and Linux for System z also allow analytics in-place, in real-time or near real-time. Enabling Spark natively on z Systems reduces the security risk of multiple copies of the Enterprise data, while providing an application developer-friendly platform for faster insight in a simplified and more secure analytics framework. How is all of this relevant to DB2 for z/OS? Given that z Systems is proving again to be the core Enterprise Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) system, it is critical that DB2 for z/OS can handle its traditional transactional applications and address the requirements for analytics processing that might not be candidates for these rapidly evolving targeted analytics systems. And not only are there opportunities for DB2 for z/OS to play an increasing role in analytics, the complexity of the transactional systems is increasing. Analytics is being integrated within the scope of those transactions. DB2 12 for z/OS has targeted performance to increase the success of new application deployments and integration of analytics to ensure that we keep pace with the rapid evolution of IDAA and Spark as equal partners in HTAP systems. This paper describes the enhancements delivered specifically by the query processing engine of DB2. This engine is generally called the optimizer or the Relational Data Services (RDS) components, which encompasses the query transformation, access path selection, run time, and parallelism. DB2 12 for z/OS also delivers improvements targeted at OLTP applications, which are the realm of the Data Manager, Index Manager, and Buffer Manager components (to name a few), and are not identified here. Although the performance measurement focus is based on reducing CPU, improvement in elapsed time is likely to be similarly achieved as CPU is reduced and performance constraints alleviated. However, elapsed time improvements can be achieved with parallelism, and DB2 12 does increase the percentage offload for parallel child tasks, which can further reduce chargeable CPU for analytics workloads.

IBM Z Integration Guide for Hybrid Cloud by Nigel Williams,Richard Gamblin,Rob Jones,IBM Redbooks Pdf
Today, organizations are responding to market demands and regulatory requirements faster than ever by extending their applications and data to new digital applications. This drive to deliver new functions at speed has paved the way for a huge growth in cloud-native applications, hosted in both public and private cloud infrastructures. Leading organizations are now exploiting the best of both worlds by combining their traditional enterprise IT with cloud. This hybrid cloud approach places new requirements on the integration architectures needed to bring these two worlds together. One of the largest providers of application logic and data services in enterprises today is IBM Z, making it a critical service provider in a hybrid cloud architecture. The primary goal of this IBM Redpaper publication is to help IT architects choose between the different application integration architectures that can be used for hybrid integration with IBM Z, including REST APIs, messaging, and event streams.
Modernize Your IBM DB2 for IBM z/OS Maintenance with Utility Autonomics by Dean Brown,Carlos Gomes,Arthur Marais,Hennie Mynhardt,IBM Redbooks Pdf
IBM® DB2® for IBM z/OS® helps lower the cost of managing data by automating administration, increasing storage efficiency, improving performance, and simplifying the deployment of virtual appliances. By automating tasks such as memory allocation, storage management, and business policy maintenance, DB2 is able to perform many management tasks itself, freeing up Database Administrators to focus on new projects. This IBM Redbooks® publication introduces autonomics for DB2 for z/OS. IBM provides several different components that, when combined, can create an autonomic database environment. All these respective components cover certain aspects of autonomics, which can collaborate into one coherent solution. In our evolution of autonomics and the need to move to smarter systems there has been a bigger drive to the concept of "Active" versus "Passive" autonomics. With the inclusion of the IBM Management Console for IMSTM and DB2 for z/OS and the Autonomics Director, it is now easier than ever to make that transition by leveraging the strength of the DB2 Utilities Solution Pack for z/OS all in one standardized and centralized interface. This publication guides you through the business reasons for adopting autonomic solutions, and provides step-by-step guidance to implement these capabilities in your DB2 for z/OS configuration. This publication is of interest primarily to DB2 Database Administrators and DB2 Systems Programmers, and for anyone looking to understand the benefits of DB2 autonomic solutions.

IBM DB2 11 for z/OS Buffer Pool Monitoring and Tuning by Jeff Berger,IBM Redbooks Pdf
IBM® DB2® buffer pools are still a key resource for ensuring good performance. This has become increasingly important as the difference between processor speed and disk response time for a random access I/O widens in each new generation of processor. An IBM System z® processor can be configured with large amounts of storage, which if used wisely, can help compensate by using storage to avoid synchronous I/O. Several changes in buffer pool management have been provided by DB2 10 and DB2 11. The purpose of this IBM RedpaperTM is to cover the following topics: Describe the functions of the DB2 11 buffer pools Introduce a number of matrixes for read and write performance of a buffer pool Provide information about how to set up and monitor the DB2 buffer pools The paper is intended to be read by DB2 system administrators, but it might be of interest to any IBM z/OS® performance specialist. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with DB2 and performance tuning. In this paper, we also assume that you are familiar with DB2 11 for z/OS performance. See DB2 11 for z/OS Technical Overview, SG24-8180; and DB2 11 for z/OS Performance Topics, SG24-8222, for more information about DB2 11 functions and their performance.
Integrating Db2 for z/OS Database Changes Into a CI/CD Pipeline by Maryela Weihrauch,Frank van der Wal,Rafael Toshio Saizaki,Kendrick Ren,Eric Radzinski,Hendrik Mynhard,Benedict Holste,Maria Sueli Almeida,IBM Redbooks Pdf
The goal of this IBM® Redbooks® publication is to demonstrate the ability to perform single click automated deployments of multi-platform applications that include IBM Db2 for z/OS database schema changes by using the capabilities of IBM Db2 DevOps Experience for z/OS. Pushing the application and database code changes to a source control management system (SCM) triggers a single CI/CD pipeline execution for application and database changes. Therefore, it mitigates the dependency on the DBA to deploy those database changes in a separate process. At the same time, DBAs can safeguard the integrity of their organization's data by implementing site rules in Db2 DevOps Experience. DBAs define whether a schema change can be approved automatically after all site rules are satisfied or whether it must be approved manually. In this publication, we provide an overview of the CI/CD pipeline architecture in the context of a sample application. We also describe the steps that are relevant to the roles of the DevOps engineer who implements the enterprise CI/CD pipeline, the DBA who is responsible for database code changes in Db2 for z/OS and for defining site rules that ensure quality in production, and the application developer who changes the application code and communicates requirements for changes in the database schema.
