#228	DB2 LUW	Watch Replay	Docker Cookbook: Practical Recipes for Running Db2 Docker isn't just a solution for application developers: It's a fantastic solution for running your Db2 database, as well. After you've learned the basics of Docker, this presentation will give you practical recipes that you can use to make Db2 upgrades easier, add functionality to existing Docker images, automate maintenance in your containers, and manage Db2 user authentication.	Ian Bjorhovde @idbjorh
#227	DB2 LUW	Watch Replay	A look at Graph and REST with Db2 In this session we'll walk through two exciting additions to Db2 11.5.4: Db2 Graph and Db2 REST. Graph databases are all around us. Streaming services use graph databases to manage their assets, understand their users' viewing habits and create personalized recommendations, network providers use them to model networks, manage issues and identify breaches, and insurance companies use them to identify fraud. Let's see how we can use both technologies to find relationships in our data.	Daniel Snoddy

#Z118	DB2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Favorite Db2 z/OS Performance and Optimization Features V9-V12 Want to know more about the optimization improvements since V9? There were many and this presentation provides some of best and favorites that all developers should know about. As with all Db2 z/OS releases, Db2 delivers a large number of new features, functions, enhancements, and optimization improvements with many specific to the developers. Come away with a better understanding of the Db2 z/OS optimizer.	Tony Andrews @TonyAndrews12
#Z117	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	A very untraditional approach implementing schema changes! The most commonly used methodology implementing Db2 schema changes is to compare new/old structures and create the worklist to execute the changes - being online or deferred or the DBA nightmare of UDCL. This approach can result in some surprises like the requirement to fall back or access path changes due to altered indexes/tables/columns/programs. This presentation will illustrate how a complete different approach can be implemented mitigating most of the risks/challenges - done by real customers.	Steen Rasmussen @DB2rasmussen
#Z116	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Integrate Db2 for z/OS database changes in your enterprise DevOps pipeline Typically, the first focus for a Development team is implementing a DevOps pipeline for application changes, whereas, in practice, many application changes also require Db2 z/OS database changes. That introduces a dependency on DBAs to deploy code with multiple hand-offs between DBA, application developer, and Data Modeler, which in turn creates unnecessary bottlenecks and deployment delays.

#z114	DB2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Tuning SQL that Still Works! Gone are the days of manually tuning queries. NOT SO FAST! Sheryl will cover all kinds of techniques that are still best practice rules to follow. Perfect for newbies to Db2 for z/OS due to all the pictures used to demonstrate techniques, as well as oldies, who need a refresher.	Sheryl Larsen @smlsql
#z113	DB2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Mitigating migration mayhem in a deprecated world Db2 has grown a lot over the years and, partly due to this, it carries around a ton of old baggage. It is definitely the right time to start crawling through the Db2 catalog and review any and all of the "deprecated" objects that are hanging around still nailed to their perches!	Roy Boxwell, Software Engineering @rld_box
#Z112	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Db2 For z/OS Index Performance Recommendations Many considerations can be made regarding design choices when building and maintaining Db2 for z/OS indexes with regard to high performance. This webcast is going to attempt to address many of those choices, but it is the combination of knowing how an application is going to use the database as well as adequate testing to make the appropriate design decisions.	Daniel Luksetich @DanL_Database
#Z111	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Distributed access to Db2: must know A refresher about must know about Distributed access to Db2. DRDA best practices and what is new. A new look into a classic topic.	Cristian Molaro @cristianmolaro
#Z110	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Db2 for z/OS Visual Studio Code support, read all about it! Come one, come all developers - and get a taste of where we are and where we're going! Are you wondering what's going on with Data Studio, and what the future will bring for developers of Db2 for z/OS applications? Attend this session to see a demo of available, and near term features integrated into Visual Studio Code.	Patrick Bossman @Bossman2day
#Z109	Db2 z/OS	Watch Replay	Exploit DB2's Log Relational DBMS have a transaction log for recovery purposes in case of failure. However, the information stored in the log is also well suited for other purposes. Think of undoing bad transactions, data propagation, and auditing. The DB2 log is a potential gold mine if you know how to seamlessly filter and make complex log data usable. We will show you how the DB2 log is structured, what data DB2 stores in the log besides table contents, and how to find the information you are looking for.	Kai Stroh
