YEAR 2000 TESTING WITH DB2 DATABASES
This presentation discusses Year 2000 application testing as it related to DB2.
Although DB2 provides built-in 4-digit support for years,
many users have not taken advantage of that support.
The need for a business object approach to test data creation,
along with data aging and sample test cases are also covered.
USING DB2 STORED PROCEDURES
This presentation gives an overview of DB2 Stored Procedures,
what they are, and how, why and when they should be used.
It will discuss: the coding of Stored Procedures;
the coding of programs which call Stored Procedures;
issues in getting the Stored Procedure running;
and some conclusions on experiences in using DB2 Stored Procedures.
PERFORMANCE TUNING OF INTRANET/DB2 APPLICATIONS
The strategy used by most IS Organizations to get on the e-commerce bandwagon is
to leverage their existing investment in mainframe legacy applications.
This typically involves connecting to, and allowing access to these databases
from the Internet or an internal Intranet.
When we are developing this type of application we need to solve a new set of problems
and address new issues both in their development,
and in performance measurement and tuning practices.
EXTENDING YOUR QMF TO: UNIVERSAL DATABASE,WINDOWS AND DATAJOINER
Sure we're used to QMF on MVS, VM and VSE, but isn't there more? - Yes, there is.
MVS and VM users can use DB2 Universal Database
(including the massively parallel Enterprise Extended Edition)
and DataJoiner (IBM's multidatabase system) as their database server.
Users can run QMF from any Windows PC with QMF for Windows,
accessing all these DB2 platforms. But nobody told QMF users about it!
This presentation shows how to extend your current QMF implementation to users on Windows PCs,
and to provide access to DB2 operating on many different platforms.
