09:15am - 10:30am	DBA Proverbs Dan Luksetich, YL&A Senior Consultant After 19 years in the DB2 business I've learned quite a lot. With this great age comes wisdom!? Come and hear a light-hearted explanation of DB2 for z/OS issues and concerns, performance tips, and best practices presented as proverbs. From the simple "always take a copy" to the profound "24X7 doesn't mean you are always available it just means you can fool people into thinking you are", each proverb will be backed by facts as they related to real life experiences during my job as DBA, application architect, and system programmer! Objectives: You are not the only one that makes mistakes How proper management of DB2 translates into more relaxation time How proper management of you bossï¿½ expectations translates into more relaxation time Quick and easy performance tips Quick and easy database management tips	pureScale Aamer Sachedina, IBM DB2 pureScale reduces the risk and cost of business growth by providing unlimited capacity, continuous availability, and application transparency. DB2 pureScale delivers levels of database scalability and availability unmatched on Unix or x86 systems. This complements DB2 for z/OS and System z, the undisputed leader in total system availability, scalability, security and reliability. Aamer, who is the Architect for DB2 pureScale, will present an overview and deep technical dive of this exciting new technology. Come hear how DB2 pureScale provides Continuous Availability and Unlimited Scalability without application modification.

10:45am - 11:45am	Using DB2 9 native SQL stored procedures Robert Andresen, Computer Associates Native SQL stored procedures are new for DB2 9. They offer less overhead, are zIIP eligible and are easier to write, in short a win/win/win situation. We will cover the writing and definition of native SQL stored procedures and discuss the new capabilities for versioning these procedures. We will also cover the new SQLFORMAT option and new coding support for Extended GOTO and Nested compound statements. Next we will look at testing and debugging capabilities, including a sample Rexx exec to quickly verify the functionality of the new procedures quickly. Measuring and monitoring resource consumption will be covered. We will then cover deployment commands and migration from existing external SQL procedures to the new native SQL procedures. Finally we will discuss documentation resources that to learn more about native SQL stored procedures.	pureScale Aamer Sachedina, IBM

02:30pm - 03:30pm	Revolutionizing the Data Abstraction Layer and Solution Delivery for Data-Driven Application Curt Cotner, IBM Fellow VP & CTO for Database Servers Accelerate your existing Java applications, leverage static SQL, reduce cost, and gain insight, reliable performance, problem determination, and control over which SQL is issued from where in your Java applications. Whether your application uses Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), the Java Persistence API (JPA), Hibernate, Spring or IBatis, existing programs can be improved without changing the code.

03:45pm - 04:45pm	Managing Your DB2 for z/OS Workloads Using WLM Glenn Anderson Consulting IT Specialist IBM Technical Training Confused about what exactly the z/OS Workload Manager (WLM) is, what it means to have your z/OS system managed to WLM goals, and how all this relates to DB2? The session reviews what WLM is all about, including the types of goals you can set for each service class, importance levels, and workload classification. This information is the foundation for understanding how DB2 exploits WLM on z/OS, including advanced WLM functions such as enclaves and application environments. The relationship between the different types of DB2 work and WLM will be explained.
