Prerequisites

A sound understanding of Db2 and z/OS concepts is required.

What You Will Learn

  • plan for application monitoring and tuning
  • identify database design factors that affect performance
  • identify application design factors that affect performance
  • use EXPLAIN as a first step towards performance tuning
  • use Db2 traces to identify problem areas and identify tuning opportunities.
