IDUG NA 2022 Line-up Revealed
The full line-up has been revealed for IDUG NA 2022, with the Db2 Tech Conference set to take place at Boston Sheraton on 11th – 14th July.
Having earned its reputation as the largest and most prestigious Db2 technical conference; the IDUG NA event is shaping up to be one of the best. It will be the first on-site IDUG conference since the start of the global pandemic.
For those who have not attended before, IDUG conferences consist of educational seminars, workshops and over 100 dynamic sessions. The conferences provide fantastic opportunities for those seeking to expand their knowledge and connect with like-minded experts.
The IDUG NA conference will be a hybrid event, so registrants can either participate online or attend in person and enjoy face to face presentations and educational workshops.

Presentation Title: APPLCOMPAT, NULLID and me
Where: Room F
Abstract: With the advent of Continuous Delivery and Function Levels in Db2 12 for z/OS; some users now face the challenge of managing the application compatibility level of DRDA applications that are dependent on the NULLID packages. This presentation discusses the challenges this presents and discusses ways of selectively applying appropriate APPLCOMPAT attributes at the application level, and even at the level of the individual application program.
In addition to his presentation, Gareth will also be running a special interest group. More details to follow.
Presenter: Mark Gillis

Presentation Title: Is your database healthy? A one-stop check via Jupyter Notebooks
Where: Room D
Abstract: Even with the most sophisticated self-tuning and self-administering database, it is still useful to have it checked over. Technology is becoming increasingly more adept at examining itself; recommending improvements and highlighting potential problems long before it becomes an issue. But would you still fly on an airliner that was never serviced and flagged up problems to the ground-crew as and when it thought it should?
Whether your database is on-premise, in the cloud, or a hybrid, an examination of its configuration, design and performance is highly advisable. With the combined expertise of over a century of Db2 knowledge, we’ve encapsulated the most critical and some of the more esoteric issues into a single Jupyter Notebook, allowing your database to be given a health check wherever it resides and whatever it does.
