Monday October 27, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm WIB
Socrates
Waaaaay back in 2006 I first held a RUNSTATS Master class where everything that RUNSTATS does to help, and hinder(!), us was fully explained. After 18 years it has now become an adult and has been updated right up until the last RUNSTATS change in Db2 13 FL500 with all the changes that have happened since 2006.
This session will show you how RUNSTATS works, when to, and not to, use it and how to use it as good as you can.

A3 | Db2 13 for z/OS - Five Key Features to Drive Performance and Innovation
Monday October 27, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm WIB
Rheinlandsaal C
Db2 for z/OS continues to evolve with features that make database management more efficient, scalable, and responsive. Recent enhancements in Db2 for z/OS focus on making database administration more efficient, with tools and features that automate processes, improve performance, and minimize downtime.
Description:
1. Package Validity at Statement Level (FL502 & FL504)

Introduces statement-level package validation.
Valid statements in a package remain executable even when some are invalidated.Enhances performance with incremental binding, reducing the need for full package rebinding.
New catalog table SYSPACKSTMTDEP records package dependencies at the statement level.

2. SQL Data Insights (FL500)

Leverages AI and deep learning with vector-embedding models to enhance query insights.
Functions like AI_ANALOGY, AI_COMMONALITY, and AI_SIMILARITY help detect data patterns, offering cognitive intelligence directly within SQL queries.


3. Current Lock Timeout Register

New CURRENT LOCK TIMEOUT register allows setting lock timeouts at the application or SQL statement level.
Offers better control over lock waits, overriding system-wide defaults for more efficient handling of transaction concurrency.

4. Online Conversion of Tables from PBG to PBR (FL500)

Simplifies online conversion of Partitioned-by-Growth (PBG) tables to Partitioned-by-Range (PBR) tables.
Reduces performance impact with minimal downtime, using ALTER and REORG utilities for smoother conversion.

5. Deadlock Resolution Priority Variable (FL501)

Introduces DEADLOCK_RESOLUTION_PRIORITY to define thread priority for deadlock resolution.
Higher priority threads are less likely to be terminated, enhancing application stability during deadlock situations.

B4 | Taming Page Splits: Reduced Stress for DBAs in Db2 13
Monday October 27, 2025 3:20pm - 4:20pm WIB
Socrates
Index page splitting in Db2 for z/OS has long been a source of performance stress for DBAs, particularly in high-volume insert environments. Prior to Db2 13, identifying and resolving these issues was a frustrating process. This session delves into the enhancements introduced in Db2 13 that simplify the management of index page splits. We will explore new capabilities and enhanced real-time statistics provide DBAs with actionable intelligence, enabling them to quickly pinpoint and address problematic page splitting activity. Discover how Db2 13 reduces the stress associated with index performance tuning, offering practical strategies to minimize page splitting and optimize Db2 performance.

Monday October 27, 2025 3:20pm - 4:20pm WIB
Aristoteles 3
Google AlloyDB DualRun or the mainframe connector? AWS DMS for Db2 z/OS or AWS Glue? Azure Host Integration Server or AIS/ADF? Or a best of breed across all of them? Anything IBM has to offer?
The possibilities are endless, and hybrid cloud data architectures are more relevant than ever after recent events where anchors suddenly drop on overseas cables, cloud vendors raise prices and tariffs all of the sudden are a thing again.
This talk reviews options how to build hybrid cloud architectures, reviews technology options provided by all major vendors in this space and summarizes their differences and commonalities.

B5 | Build a lightweight monitor to identify SQL workload tuning potential
Monday October 27, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm WIB
Socrates
In this session, you will learn how to capture SQL statistics from Db2’s dynamic statement cache and how to combine them with the information from your EXPLAIN tables. The code that we use will be available for download after the session. Discover how to identify the queries that will benefit most from tuning, allowing you to focus your valuable time on those that matter. We start with simple metrics like RID list errors and work our way up to other performance metrics like top consumers, I/O statistics, lock contention, and more. You will learn how to track the performance and resource consumption of a given SQL statement over time, which makes it possible to spot trends. Finally, we will show how to detect access path changes in dynamic SQL workload. This is a common problem in environments with heavy dynamic workload. Something as simple as a single RUNSTATS execution on one of the involved tables can cause unexpected changes to the access path that Db2 chooses. Using historic explain information, these changes become visible, and you can take immediate action.
