DB2 UDB Server for OS/390 and z/OS Version 7 Presentation Guide

IBM DB2 UDB Server for OS/390 and z/OS Version 7 is the eleventh release of DB2 for MVS. It brings to this platform the data support, application development, and query functionality enhancements for e-business while building upon the traditional capabilities of reliability and performance. The DB2 V7 environment is available for the S/390 and zSeries platforms, either for new installations of DB2, or for migrations from both DB2 for OS/390 Version 6 and DB2 for OS/390 Version 5 subsystems.

This IBM Redbook, in the format of a presentation guide, describes the enhancements made available with DB2 V7. These enhancements include a new feature, DB2 Warehouse Manager, which simplifies the design and deployment of a data warehouse within your S/390, as well as performance and availability delivered through new and enhanced utilities, dynamic changes to the value of many of the system parameters without stopping DB2, and the new Restart Light option for data sharing environments. Improvements in usability are provided with new and faster tools, the DB2 XML Extender support for the XML data type, scrollable cursors, support for UNICODE encoded data, support for COMMIT and ROLLBACK within a stored procedure, the option to eliminate the DB2 precompile step in program preparation, and the definition of view with the operators UNION or UNION ALL.

This book will help you understand why migrating to Version 7 of DB2 can be beneficial for your applications and your DB2 subsystems. It will provide sufficient information so you can start prioritizing the implementation of the new functions and evaluating their applicability in your DB2 environments.
