#235	DB2 LUW	7 MAY 75 Mins	Db2 Latest News Db2 has come a long way since being one of the first Relational Database Management Systems. Explore the containerization of Db2 and optimization on RedHat OpenShift. New exciting features like Db2 Graph, REST APIs and enhanced ML capabilities with PythonUDF and in-DB Machine Learning.

#Z117	Db2 z/OS	21 MAY 75 Mins	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
#236	DB2 LUW	4 JUN 75 Mins	Analyze data with the new Db2 Graph and train an ML model using Db2 on Cloud Learn more about our latest tooling to help Db2 users containerize their databases on the HW infrastructure of their choice. We will also talk about what's the latest on our Db2 on Cloud offerings.	Tanmay Sinha @tanmaysinha Nidhi Bhatnagar

#234	DB2 LUW	Watch Replay	Db2 Query Optimization 101 Optimal query access plans are essential for good data server performance. The optimizer is a very sophisticated component of the data server, tasked with the challenging job of choosing good access paths for the variety of features and table organizations supported by Db2. Attend this session to get an overview of how the optimizer works and to get some tips on how to understand its decisions and control its behavior. Click below to register.

#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

#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.

#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

#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
