    DB2 10 for z/OS - Dave Beulke

    delivered.

    Introduction

    by Roger Miller

    Customers need to reduce costs and adapt quickly to support business growth, without sacrificing the resiliency required for today’s demanding business requirements. Version 10 of IBM® DB2® for z/OS® (DB2 10) addresses those needs, building on the capabilities of DB2 9 for z/OS and the System z® platform.

    DB2 10 for z/OS delivers innovations in the following key areas.

    Reduced DB2 CPU time for out-of-the-box savings. DB2 10 delivers great value by reducing CPU usage. Most customers can achieve out-of-the-box CPU savings of 5 to 10 percent for traditional workloads and up to 20 percent for some workloads. Improved scalability and constraint relief can add to the savings.

    Unsurpassed resiliency for business-critical information. DB2 10 innovations raise the bar on data resiliency through scalability improvements, fewer outages, and improved security. DB2 10 delivers the ability to handle up to five to 10 times more active concurrent users in a single DB2 subsystem. Customers can scale up or scale out simply, and with less system management. Schema evolution lets you make more changes while business keeps running.

    Rapid application and warehouse deployment for business growth. SQL and pureXML® enhancements in DB2 10 help productivity, improve performance, and simplify application ports to DB2 for z/OS. DB2 10 adds unique capabilities to support temporal data using business and system time within the database itself, making application development and maintenance simpler and more reliable.

    Now let’s provide a little more detail to explain the improvements.

    Improved Performance and Reduced CPU for Out-of-the-Box Savings

    DB2 10 delivers by improving performance and reducing CPU usage. Most customers can achieve out-of-the-box CPU savings of 5 to 10 percent for traditional workloads and up to 20 percent for specific workloads described below. Measurements compare to previous releases of DB2 for z/OS. REBIND is needed to obtain the best performance and memory improvements. DB2 reduces CPU usage by optimizing processor times and memory access, leveraging the latest processor improvements, larger amounts of memory, and z/OS enhancements. Improved scalability and constraint relief can add to the savings. Productivity improvements for database and systems administrators can drive even more savings.

    In DB2 10, performance improvements focus on reducing CPU processing time without causing significant administration or application changes. Most performance improvements are implemented by simply migrating to DB2 10 and rebinding.

    You gain significant performance improvements from distributed data facility (DDF) optimization, buffer pool enhancements, parallelism enhancements, and
