Course Description

This course is designed to teach delegates the advanced topics necessary to make the most of the DB2 for z/OS utilities.

The course includes extensive hands-on lab exercises.

Please note, recovery-oriented topics are not part of this course, so such utility functions are not presented.

  • 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.
