database administration with dB2 BLU acceleration

Delegates should have working experience with:

  • Basic Administration for Linux and Windows or
  • Basic Administration for AIX or
  • DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

By attending Database Administration with DB2 BLU Acceleration Workshop, Delegates will learn to:

  • Monitor a DB2 LUW database using command line processor queries
  • Implement DB2 BLU Acceleration, column-organized table support, for a new or existing DB2 database
  • Configure a DB2 database that uses DB2 BLU Acceleration, column-organized tables, including sort memory and utility heap memory considerations
  • Describe the default workload management used for DB2 BLU Acceleration processing and how to tailor the WLM objects to efficiently use system resources
  • Implement DB2 Instance audit data collection using the db2audit command or database level auditing by creating audit policy objects and assigning the policies to objects using the AUDIT command
  • Analyze REORGCHK reports to determine if the table or the index reorganization would improve database efficiency. Invoke and monitor the processing for the REORG utility running offline or online
  • Manage the disk space allocated in DMS table spaces using ALTER TABLESPACE to extend or to reduce the containers, and monitor the progress of the DB2 rebalance process
  • Implement automatic resize for DMS table spaces or Automatic Storage management for table spaces to reduce the complexity of managing DB2 LUW databases
  • Describe the conditions that would impact selection of the INGEST utility rather than using LOAD
  • Set the options for the INGEST utility and monitor ingest processing
  • Plan and execute the DB2MOVE utility to copy selected table data for an entire schema for objects from one DB2 database to another
  • Implement an optimization profile to control a portion of the access plan selected by the DB2
  • Optimizer to achieve specific application performance results
  • Select options and processing modes for the online table move procedure, ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE, to implement changes to tables with minimal loss of data access by applications
  • Plan and implement MDC tables to improve application performance, including selecting the appropriate table space extent size
  • Utilize range-based partitioned tables to support large DB2 tables that require very efficient roll-in and roll-out capabilities

This is an advanced course for DB2 LUW experienced database administrators who support DB2 for UNIX, Windows, and Linux databases.
