There's a surge of interest from people who are becoming aware of the cost savings and management benefits of pureQuery. The client
optimization capability of pureQuery enables DBAs to enable static execution for any existing Java™ and .NET application without changing any
application code. In this first Integrated Data Management tech briefing of the year, we show you step by step how to client optimize an existing
Java application and provide hints and tips for managing the process and making it more efficient. z/OS® environments are covered as well.

The pureQuery data access platform includes an easy to use API that is designed to help developers write high-performance data access layers.
Productivity, troubleshooting, and query tuning are all enhanced with powerful tooling. In this session, Information Champion Dan Galvin speaks from
experience on using pureQuery for developing new applications, including an overview of the API styles, best practices, and hints and tips from his
personal experience. He'll also describe how pureQuery can be integrated with existing Java frameworks to extend its capability. Sonali Surange,
pureQuery tools architect, provides a step by step overview of using Optim Development Studio for new data access development.

Data Studio becomes Optim
-- What it means for you
So Data Studio is now Optim, except where it isn't. We know there will be
lots of questions, so let's use this first low key lunch and learn to get
some of the facts on the table and get answers to such questions as: Is it
just a rename or are there real integration points between the old Data
Studio and Optim technologies? Can someone explain what's free and what
isn't? What are the new products? Where can we get trial downloads? What
products support which databases?

InfoSphere Data Architect
101
Formerly known as Rational Data Architect, InfoSphere Data Architect is a
foundational data modeling technology for any data-centric design and
architecture work. In this overview session, you'll learn about features
and functionality, but you'll also get hints and tips on getting started.
A must-see for anyone who does data architecture, modeling and database
design and hasn't worked with this tool before.

Optim Development Studio
101
Confused about Data Studio, Data Studio Developer, and now Optim
Development Studio? Get a tour of Optim Development Studio and an
understanding of the additional features over "free" Data Studio and
Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software. This is very cool
stuff, and we'll have more sessions later to do deeper dives into some of
the technology.

SQL Stored procedure
Development and Debug for DB2 for z/OS: Getting Started
Stored procedure development is one of the areas we get the most questions
about. In this first session, get familiar with Optim Development Studio
capabilities and then create, deploy, and run a stored procedure. These
capabilities are similar across all DB2 platforms, so DB2 for Linux, UNIX,
and Windows stored procedure developers are encouraged to attend.

SQL Stored procedure
Development and Debug for z/OS: Advanced
The previous session covered debugging on the client machine. Now let's
move into a more advanced configuration (we'll briefly describe the
typical setup) and get into more details and hints and tips on using the
debugging capabilities for z/OS stored procedures. We'll also describe how
you can use Rational Developer for System z to augment your stored
procedure development.

Query tuning for DB2®
for z/OS® developers and DBAs
DB2 has a great optimizer, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't learn
and practice good SQL coding techniques. Learn about new tools to help
advise you on writing better SQL -- while you're in the middle of
development!. And if you code Java using a framework, you can still tune
the generated SQL. Our experts will go through a few scenarios to help you
understand the tools in action. DBA won't want to miss this either as the
Query Workload Tuning capabilities are demonstrated as well.

Performance Management 101
for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
Ever been up late trying to pinpoint a performance problem in a Java
environment? Or worse, trying to find where the problem might be buried in
all of the data? Tired of the finger pointing among staff when performance
is an issue? Find out how you can create exception monitoring metrics,
track and measure performance indicators and quickly diagnose performance
problems when they arise using DB2 Performance Expert and Extended Insight
Feature to make the process easier and more efficient.
