A message from our sponsor:

DBI Software


During today's quick 3 minute commercial, DBI demonstrated some performance trend charts that are complete with change indicators plotted on the charts. DBI has been automatically tracking important database change events since V8.2 of DB2. Change events are plotted on trend charts so that you can see the performance consequences of any changes. Trend charts without changes are, at best, merely pretty. Do you want pretty, or do you want results?


Beyond the trend charts, we also demonstrated how you can compare DB2 database and workload performance before and after upgrading to DB2 LUW V11.1. Well, for that matter, you can compare any two time windows that you like! Do comparisons after applying fixpacks or upgrading applications too! Here's to your upgrade success! CHEERS!
