DB2/MVS V4 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Learn the features, considerations and test results for the wide range of exciting Version 4 performance enhancements. Version 4 reduces the costs of locking, CPU and elapsed times across the application spectrum. This presentation describes the features of DB2 V4 which enables these cost reductions, including: Type 2 indexes; CPU parallelism; highly scaleable read/write data sharing; Stored Procedures; DDF dispatching priorities; and faster utilities.

IBM'S DATA REPLICATION SOLUTION
This presentation described the various aspects and components of IBM's Data Replication Solution. This includes: DataPropagator Relational, which provides refresh and update propagation among IBM's DB2 family of products; DataPropagator NonRelational, which provides update propagation between IBM's DB2 and IMS on MVS systems; DataRefresher, which provides refresh support from a wide variety of MVS and VM sources to IBM's DB2 family of products; DataHub, which provides a single control point for administering the replication environment; and DataJoiner, which provides a multidatabase supporting transparent read and write of mutli-vendor stores, enabling replication between multi-vendor databases.

IMPLEMENTATION OF DB2 V4 STORED PROCEDURES
With the availability of Stored Procedures in DB2 V4, there are new options and considerations in designing and building DB2 applications. This presentation will describe the features of DB2 V4.1 Stored Procedures with respect to application design, security and overall performance. It will also describe the issues surrounding the implementation of stored procedures in business applications.
