Thursday October 30, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am WIB
Aristoteles 3
The IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS(IDAA) has evolved enormously over the last 14 years since its introduction to the DB2 for z/OS world with the result that the IDAA of 2025 is a completely different proposition to customers compared to when it was originally presented to the market back in 2011.
As with many new functions and features of Db2 introduced over the years, it was not love at first with the IDAA, however, it is no longer a stand-alone Netezza appliance with periodic refreshes, limited SQL compatibility and limited use cases. It is in fact a completely different hardware and software solution with multiple deployment options from IFLs on Z, a z/Linux One machine or even in cloud and it is also a completely new software based on the columnar DB2 BLU DW engine.
What this means for customers is that the IDAA of 2025 with lots more functionality and flexibility has become an extremely interesting and feasible solution to the many challenges that customers are facing from classical Analytical applications to Batch processing and OLTP transactions requiring analytical queries on real-time data.
This presentation will provide a brief overview of the changes to IDAA since its introduction explaining what and how these changes make the IDAA a completely different proposition for customers in 2025.
More importantly, the presentation will provide a technical explanation of how you can perform an assessment of your environment to be able to evaluate the potential benefits of IDAA in your shop, or, if you already have an IDAA, how you can identify new candidates for IDAA processing.
Finally, the presentation will provide tips and insights from real-world use cases highlighting not only the benefits but also the errors to avoid and the potential problems that you may encounter when offloading work to IDAA

F16 | Modernizing Db2 for z/OS System Management with Ansible
Thursday October 30, 2025 10:20am - 11:20am WIB
Aristoteles 3
In this session, we will explore how Ansible can be used to modernize Db2 for z/OS system management by automating routine administrative tasks. Db2 System Programmers and DBAs typically perform many day-to-day tasks manually. When these tasks need to be executed across an entire SYSPLEX, they become time-consuming, error-prone, and cumbersome. By utilizing Ansible’s built-in modules and integrating with Db2 RESTful APIs, these processes can be automated, reducing manual effort, and improving accuracy.
This session will focus on:
Introduction to Ansible: A quick start on using Ansible on z/OS, including an overview of Ansible’s built-in modules.
Integration of Db2 RESTful API with Ansible: Demonstrating how to use the Db2 RESTful API with Ansible playbooks to automate common Db2 management tasks.
Practical Use Case: Walkthrough of a real-world example where Ansible playbooks are used to automatically retrieve and compare the Db2 zparm setting from all active Db2 regions, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

Target Audience:

Db2 System Administrators
Db2 DBAs
Mainframe Automation Engineers
IT Operations teams looking to enhance their mainframe automation capabilities.


Key Takeaway :
By the end of this session, attendees will have an understanding of how to write and execute Ansible playbooks on z/OS. This session will empower attendees with the knowledge of modern automation practices that can be applied in their z/OS environments.

A cloud native resource without monitoring (or with a very complex monitoring setup) is like driving a car without a dashboard - you wouldn't know if you are speeding or low on fuel! Db2 needs a concise and simplified monitoring solution that gives a bird eye's view on the performance metrics and Db2 diagnostics. We present here a solution that is available in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and IBM Cloud while running Db2 with a Infrastructure as a Service model.
The speaker will cover her experience of collaboration with all cloud vendors, Db2 development and customers like SAP. The session will share the findings from that reserach and development project and it is based on the cloud native monitoing solutions currently available. The solution consists of a smart combination of Db2 monitoring capabilities, Operating System scheduling and Cloud logging functionality resulting in an out-of-the-box Db2 monitoing solution.
The solution has the following features:
Displays the most important metrics (based on customer data) of a database instance namely, Bufferpool quality, Activities per second, Activity wait time and Logging performance.Information regarding Db2 Diagnostics by providing the count of increasing errors that can be easily extended for a comprehensive diagnostic analysis. Whether or not the database is alive. This solution introduces the Monitoring as a Service infrastructure and ables you to build your own cloud native monitoring solution with a few fingertips.
