C10 | Evolution of Db2 into Cloud environments at Allianz.AT!
Wednesday October 29, 2025 10:20am - 11:20am WIB
Leibniz 1/2/3
ABS is the one of the core insurance applications used in Allianz insurance entities worldwide running on Db2 on Linux. Because of Allianz's strategy to migrate all systems to cloud where possible, it had to be investigated how to move ABS to the cloud. A First step was to use a lift and shift approach, where an ABS backend was created as an EC2 instance. But the target is to have a Db2 service as native cloud service available that meets the customer specific requirements specially in relation to ABS because currently available SaaS services failed on this. This presentation describes how various challenges have to be addressed to achieve this.

D10 | Working with EXPLAIN - Alternatives to Command line and Visual Explain
Wednesday October 29, 2025 10:20am - 11:20am WIB
Aristoteles 2
Being a Db2 consultant for more than 25 years I often face the challenge that I had to use EXPLAIN as part of a Performance analysis.
Now we have Tools like Visual Explain in IBM Data Studio and Data Management Console (DMC) as well as db2exfmt and db2caem as command line tools - but what do I do when I have no IBM Data Studio or DMC around and no access to a Db2 command line?
In my presentation I will show how to do EXPLAIN on a SQL statement and analyze the SQL Access Plan from within almost any SQL Frontend tool (DBeaver, Squirrel, DBVisualizer and others)
I will show that for

"normal" EXPLAIN
EXPLAIN from a Section in Package Cache or Sections in Activity Event Monitor tables
EXPLAIN with Section Actuals
and more ...

Wednesday October 29, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm WIB
Leibniz 1/2/3
In this presentation we will discuss what is required to build an "always on" architecture. This is not limited to Db2 LUW, but rather spans the entire software and hardware stack. Systems are only as reliable as thier weakest point, so how to we work around this limitation? Technology is the easiest part of an Always On architecture, so what makes it so difficult to implement? There are many aspects that need to examined such as:
Can the "CAP" theorem be disproved? Stop by this presentation and find out for yourself.

D11 | Using GenAI to quickly build Db2 live monitoring
Wednesday October 29, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm WIB
Aristoteles 2
With the use of GenAI functionality, more and more available to users, this session will show ways of implementing Db2 live monitoring. It will furthermore show advantages and disadvantages of such GenAI approaches, when trying to use specialties of Db2.
Some live demonstration will offer an overview of potential problems and workarounds.

F11 | Desperate Measures - How to Relieve the Db2 Optimizer of its Duties
Wednesday October 29, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm WIB
Aristoteles 3
Optimal query access plans are essential for good database performance and it is the query optimizer's job to choose the best one. However, sometimes even the best statistics or tricky query tuning will produce the access plan you want. Or your application is effectively down, due to a poorly-performing query, and there isn't time to implement best practices. When these situations arise, Db2 optimization profiles and guidelines can be used to correct the access plan and get your application performing well again - quickly. Optimization profiles can specify various aspects of an access plan, can control automatic query rewriting or can control the optimizer's plan search space. Guidelines can be specified with or without modifying your application. This presentation will show you what options are available and how to use them effectively.

C12 | Db2 and S3 Object Storage : Why? What? How?
Wednesday October 29, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm WIB
Leibniz 1/2/3
Over the last few years, IBM has built in more exploitation of S3 object storage into Db2. This presentation explores why this is important to customers, what can be done with S3 in Db2 and how to achieve it. It will also look at pros and cons of using S3 as compared to more traditional methods.

Aristoteles 2
A look at the new SQL capabilites added to Db2 v12 and its mod packs as well as what is coming in future mod packs. Will also take a look back at some of the lesser known additions in 11.1 and 11.5 mod packs. A deep dive into new namespace isolation capabilities provided via the TENANT concept. A overview of the Vector store extensions both delivered and coming to Db2 and a look at how Db2 can integrate into a lakehouse strategy.

Wednesday October 29, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm WIB
Leibniz 1/2/3
Db2 is known as a robust and reliable database management system and a perfect match for private and public cloud environments. However, sometimes you might face database related issues. The session will cover the first steps in the process of problem determination and problem source identification (PD/PSI). The session gives hands-on examples and practical examples for the strategy and process to encircle and find the problem by asking the right questions and will share best practices for the first occurrence data capture (FODC) tools available for the DBA.

D13 | Db2 for Agentic AI: New Capabilities, Frameworks, and Real-World Use Cases
Wednesday October 29, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm WIB
Aristoteles 2
Many enterprise AI projects still rely on moving data out of databases into separate systems for training and inference. This often adds delays, increases risk, and makes it harder to maintain secure and reliable applications. Db2 takes a different approach. It has long supported in-database machine learning and AI, and it continues to evolve. New features—such as vector search, model inference, and integration with AI frameworks—make Db2 well-suited for building modern enterprise AI systems. In this talk, I’ll walk through the AI capabilities available in Db2 today—both existing and newly added. I’ll show how they help teams build AI applications more efficiently, keep data secure, and reduce complexity across the stack. A special focus will be on how these features enable the development of modern AI agents—applications that combine reasoning, retrieval, and structured data to solve real business problems inside the enterprise.

Wednesday October 29, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm WIB
Aristoteles 1
There are many tools to gather information and many ways to monitor things as they happen in Db2.
What works best?
This presentation will look at what works best in what scenarios, which tools are deprecated, and which are still being improved. What things should we be looking at? What should we be running to gather historical data, and what tools should we have near the top of our toolbox for emergencies? Since no one tool is best in all scenarios, we will try to present use cases that demonstrate when to reach for which tool.

F13 | Unusual indexes and their usage in Db2
Wednesday October 29, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm WIB
Aristoteles 3
Indexes in Db2 cannot only index simple relational columns to speed up scans and joins, but it is also possible to index more complicated data like JSON or XML documents or spatial data. Indexes can also be built on expressions. This presentation not only looks at these more unsual indexes and how they can be used to speed up queries, but also investigates index variations like Multi-Dimentional Clustering indexes and index processing techniques like index anding and index oring.
