Course details

The course is updated for DB2 10 for z/OS. This is the Classroom version of Instructor-led Online Course (3V851GB). Administrators of DB2 10 for z/OS can acquire a view of the architecture and fundamental processes required to manage a DB2 10 for z/OS subsystem. Engage in lectures and hands-on labs to gain experience to: Relate the z/OS IPL process to a DB2 subsystem Explain effects of stopping and starting DB2 Explain how DB2 sets and use Integrated Catalog Facility (ICF) catalog names The use of DSN command processor running in batch and foreground Use views to minimize users' ability to see into the DB2 catalog See how the catalog (through grant activity) controls access to data Search the catalog for problem situations Use the catalog and DB2 utilities to determine data recovery requirements Describe Internal Resource Lock Manager (IRLM) in a DB2 environment Implement DB2 and Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) security Describe DB2 program flow for all environments Display normal and problem threads and database status See how the SQL Processor Using File Input (SPUFI) AUTOCOMMIT option defers the COMMIT/ROLLBACK decision Interpret lock displays Identify and cancel particular threads Describe available DB2 utilities to manage system and user page sets
