Message from the chair:
Our first

the next version of DB2 for z/OS, Version 9.
Dwaine Snow
will do a session on DB2 9 (LUW) Deep Compression, which will include a demo.
Linda Snow
will present DB2 Continuous Availability, which compares this new IBM feature
with Oracle’s RAC. It uses Active/Active
clustering to set up DB2 for HA and/or DR, and also scale out - while keeping
all DB2 servers active and fulfilling requests/transactions.
IBM will
also provide lunch and a light breakfast will be served.
REMINDER: PRE-REGISTRATION IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED!! In an effort to better plan for handouts and
food, we are urging the membership to please try to pre-register for the
