#z89	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Are you just gonna play in the pool...or own it...Bufferpool that is There have been many changes to buffer pool behavior, performance, and management across recent DB2 releases. This presentation will walk through several major enhancements as well as if they are right for you, and how to measure them. Understanding the impact of your tuning activities is just as important as undertaking them in the first place.	Adrian Burke @agb_DB2z
#Z88	Db2 z/OS and LUW	Watch Replay	DB2 Security Best Practices Volume II Implementing the best security techniques and strongest configuration is mandatory these days for safe guarding your data.

Dave Beulke
#Z87	DB2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Db2 RESTful Service Support and z/OS Connect The Application Programming Interface (or short API) Economy has changed how developers build application and how organization deploy software as a service.

#Z85	DB2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Db2 12 Continuous Delivery - New challenges for deployment Fundamental changes in the Db2 z world often lead to concerns. Let's face it - some changes force us to change! This will have a tremendous impact on migration strategies, because we have to find a reliable way to test these code deliveries in a fraction of the time we used to have. This presentation will describe the difference between Code, Catalog, Function and Application Levels, how you can control them and how you can fallback in case of anomalies.	Roy Boxwell, Software Engineering
#z84	DB2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Revival of the SQL Tuner The pool of DBAs with SME knowledge of SQL tuning has shrunk dramatically while the number of SQL statements needing attention has grown and will continue to grow. DB2 performance tooling can help identify what needs to be tuned. But what do you do then? This presentation will help fill the skills gap by reviving the role of an SQL Tuner.	Sheryl Larsen @smlsql
#Z83	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Copy Smarter - Unload/Load, DSN1COPY and beyond When you get tasked with setting up a refresh process for thousands of DB2 z/OS tables you probably have a few thoughts running through your head. This presentation discusses advantages and disadvantages of different utilities that copy DB2 data, but the main focus is automating all the side tasks that DBAs usually need to do in addition to copying the data itself.	Kai Stroh
#Z82	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	The Db2 12 Catalog -- What happened since Db2 11 There are many ways to learn about a new Db2 version, but using the catalog is probably the fastest and most enlightening. Once you look at the revision track in the Db2 Catalog and Directory section of the SQL Reference Guide, study the column changes, additions as well as new catalog tables, you have a very good overview of everything worth to know about that specific Db2 version.	Steen Rasmussen @DB2rasmussen
#Z81	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Early experiences using Db2 for z/OS Transparent Data Set Encryption Db2 11 and Db2 12 recently delivered a simple, transparent and consumable approach to enable extensive encryption of data at-rest. This new capability substantially reduces the people and hardware costs associated with protecting data & achieving compliance mandates. Db2 12 expands the Db2 11 functionality by providing new options to allow a DBA to manage encryption policies at a table level. The session discusses the differences between Db2 11 and Db2 12 and results of early customer experiences using this new encryption approach.	James Pickel
#Z80	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	DevOps and Cloud Provisioning for Db2 z Lost in the sea of application development terms? "DevOps, Agile, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Integration, Cloud Provisioning, Self-service economy, Shift Left" - What does all this mean? How does it affect me? Why are they doing this? This session focuses less on the buzz words than showing an example of what the development process can look like through a simple application development and deployment scenario, from initial sand-box check in, through merge into configuration management controlled environment. ** Please note: many parts of this presentation also apply to Db2 for LUW	Patrick Bossman @Bossman2day
#Z79	DB2 z/OS	Watch Replay	zIIP Experiences: Exploitation Not Abuse IT staffs are being pressed to get every cycle possible out of their System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) specialty engines and the now defunct System z Application Assist Processors (zAAP). DB2 for z/OS and related processes that run on System z can take advantage of these processors, and will be covered in depth during the presentation.	Adrian Burke IBM DB2 SWAT team @agb_DB2z
