AIX 5L is quickly becoming the preferred commercial implementation of UNIX operating system. The recently announced IBM eServer i5 servers can run AIX 5L in as many as 160 separate logical partitions (LPARs). This gives iSeries customers a very rich portfolio of business applications that are curren

(Hong Min) This IBM Redpaper describes an implementation that routes CPU-intensive parts of an application from DB2 UDB on z/OS to a Linux grid environment and returns the results to the requesting stored procedure in DB2. (pdf)

(John Ganci) This IBM Redbook and sample code provide IT Architects, IT Specialists, and Developers with the critical knowledge to design, develop, deploy, and manage a portal based document management system using IBM WebSphere Portal V5.0.2 and IBM DB2 Content Manager V8.2 (pdf)

(David Cohn) Listen and learn as our experts provide an overview of DB2 stored procedures on OS/390, the mechanisms for using them, and the SQL/PSM language. (R)

The ongoing operation, in particular the creation of users (or groups), must be considered as part of the system design. User provisioning, in the ITSO working example portal based document management system, consists of registering a user entity in both WebSphere Portal and DB2 Content Manager.

(Susan L. Cline) The IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) plug-ins for Eclipse give Cloudscape™ and Derby users the ability to connect to, browse and create database objects. In this article learn how to use this Eclipse-based tool as well as trouble-shoot connection problems.

(Roger Sanders) Circular logging requires that records stored in the log buffer are written to primary log files in a circular sequence. Once the primary log files are full and still marked as “unavailable” the DB2 Database Manager will allocate what is known as a secondary log file and begin writin

(G Chakravarty) With the availability of 64-bit addressing in DB2 Version 8 for Z/OS, the constraints of virtual buffer pool memory limitations are all but over. A single large address space in Version 8 of up to 264 bytes (16 exabytes) replaces hiper spaces and data spaces. As a result, managing vi

(Jacques Roy) Learn how to use triggers to implement fine-grained auditing. This article covers the use of the datablade API to generate auditing events from transactions. It also introduces the new feature of trigger introspection that allows you to create a generic auditing function that can be ap
