A deep dive into DB2

Abstract: Ok, now we have a relational database inside of TSM and all advantages we desired in older versions: DB2. We can use it, we do not have to know something about it. Is this the truth?
In this session, I invite you to follow me into a deep dive into DB2. Where are the interfaces to TSM? What settings are relevant to TSM? How does the reorganization work? How can I optimize DB2 for reliability, for scalability, for perfomance? How can I understand the logs in times of trouble? HADR, never heard? Let’s talk about it. Here is the presentation.
