Db2 for z/OS security has historically been performed using an external security product such as RACF to secure the system, while access to Db2 objects and data was controlled using Db2 internal security.<br>However now more and more organisations are using RACF to control all aspects of Db2 security - both at the system and data levels.<br>This intensive, one-day course shows exactly how this may be achieved.<br><br>This course is also available for one-company, on-site presentations and for live presentation over the Internet, via the Virtual Classroom Environment service.

We can organize this training at your preferred date and location.
