This course is designed to teach you advanced topics about DB2 for z/OS utilities. It is assumed that you attended course DB2 10 for z/OS Database Administration Workshop Part 1 (CV831) so that you already have basic skills about the main utilities. Recovery-oriented topics are not part of this course, so such utility functions are not presented.

• Use RUNSTATS to accelerate the performance of a given SQL access
• Employ DSN1COPY, REPAIR, and DIAGNOSE for DBA tasks which are not recovery-oriented
• Use parallel index build with the LOAD, REORG and REBUILD INDEX utilities
• Load partitions in parallel
• Determine the appropriate LOAD options to use while considering concurrency and performance requirements
• Choose appropriate options with REORG and UNLOAD to achieve optimal performance and availability
• Provide appropriate LISTDEF, TEMPLATE, and OPTIONS utility control statements for use in DB2 utilities

Please refer to course overview.

Roadmaps that reference this course are:

•    Database Administration Core

Prior to enrolling, IBM Employees must follow their Division/Department processes to obtain approval to attend this public training class. Failure to follow Division/Department approval processes may result in the IBM Employee being personally responsible for the class charges.

GBS practitioners that use the EViTA system for requesting external training should use that same process for this course. Go to the EViTA site to start this process:http://w3.ibm.com/services/gbs/evita/BCSVTEnrl.nsf

Once you enroll in a GTP class, you will receive a confirmation letter that should show:

• The current GTP list price
• The 20% discounted price available to IBMers. This is the price you will be invoiced for the class.
