| Build a data library with Hive
Storing massive amounts of data is great until you need to do something with
it. No incredible discoveries or futuristic predictions come from unused data, no matter how
much of it you store. Big data can be a complicated beast. Writing complex MapReduce
programs in the Java programming language takes time, good resources, and know-how that most
organizations don't have available. This is where building a data library using a tool like Hive
on top of Hadoop becomes a powerful solution.

| Schema replication with IBM InfoSphere Data Replication, Part
1: Uni-directional schema subscriptions in DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
10.1
IBM InfoSphere Data Replication allows the synchronization of data between two or
more database management systems either on the same or on different operational
platforms. Many different usage scenarios exist. Starting in Version 10.1 of IBM
InfoSphere Data Replication, replication is now supported at the schema level. This
means that defined changes to the database structure such as the creation of new
tables are automatically added to the replication system without any need for
administration or intervention. This not only eliminates or greatly reduces the
administrative efforts when tables are added or changed at the primary database but also
significantly increases the reliability of the replication system, especially when used
as a synchronization mechanism for an active disaster recovery site. This article is the
first in a series that uses a disaster recovery use case to explain how to set up
schema-level subscriptions for uni-directional replication topologies available in the Q
Replication technology that comes with IBM InfoSphere Data Replication v10.1.3 for
Linux, UNIX, and Windows. We encourage you to replay the scenario. To make this as
convenient as possible, various scripts are provided in the Download section of this
article. Watch out for more articles in this series that cover schema-level
subscriptions for bi-directional topologies and more.

| Automating endpoint WSDL creation with WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
The recommended approach to defining a web service in WSDL is to split the definition across three files: interface, binding, and endpoint. While this approach lets you maintain a clean separation between the elements being defined, it requires you to either update the endpoint WSDL document, or create new endpoint WSDL documents as your service moves from one environment
(development, test, staging, production) to another. Generally speaking, the only difference between each of the environment-specific endpoint WSDLs is the value of the location attribute on the soap:address element. This article shows you how to use a WSRR plug-in to automate the creation of environment-specific endpoint WSDLs within WebSphere Service Registry and Repository.

| Restricting database connections using the CONNECT_PROC database configuration parameter in DB2 for Linux, Unix, and Windows
System administrators are responsible for, among other things, protecting a database against unauthorized access
or misuse by authorized database users (for example, inappropriate access to sensitive information within a database).
A common requirement to mitigate such risks is ensuring that users are allowed to connect to the database only from
a list of trusted hosts or IP addresses that are known to be secure. This article gives a practical example of how
such a requirement can be put in practice by making use of the CONNECT_PROC database configuration parameter of
IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.

| Modeling created global temporary tables for DB2 with InfoSphere
Data Architect 8.5, Part 2: Modifying an existing data model
Business applications commonly need to reuse aggregated or processed data
from a set of data sources over a single series of operations. An example for this could
be generation of reports for analysis and decision making. In order to support this
need, some database vendors have introduced support for temporary tables that can
hold such aggregated or processed data. Beginning with IBM InfoSphere Data
Architect version 8.5, you can model created global temporary tables (CGTTs)
for DB2 for z/OS version 10 and DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows version 9.7.

| Creating a Drupal multisite installation
One important feature of the Drupal content management system
is that it enables you to run multiple websites from a single base
installation of the framework -- a feature called multisite
installations. Such installations are particularly useful to web
administrators who have to manage and maintain several sites on a long-term
basis, and the functionality simplifies the administration of multiple Drupal
installations located on the same server by making all of them run from a
single script. In this article, see how to install, configure, run,
and administer multisite Drupal.

| Verify DB2 Net Search Extender indexes using the NSE Index Verification tool
DB2 Net Search Extender, here after called NSE, is an IBM DB2 extender providing
full text search support in DB2. NSE searches documents stored in columns of database
tables by maintaining its internal text indexes. Rather than searching sequentially
through text documents stored in database columns at query time, NSE uses its text
indexes to search in an efficient manner. Verification of NSE indexes are
vital because the errors reported by the top layer applications on full text index can be
misleading. This unnecessarily delays the problem resolution at the production system. To
prevent such a situation, the NSE Index Verification tool was developed to verify the NSE index
validity and consistency, and to check whether or not indexes are valid.

| Modeling created global temporary tables for DB2 with InfoSphere
Data Architect 8.5, Part 1: Getting started
Business applications commonly need to reuse aggregated or processed data
from a set of data sources over a single series of operations. An example for this could
be generation of reports for analysis and decision making. In order to support this
need, some database vendors have introduced support for temporary tables that can
hold such aggregated or processed data. Beginning with IBM InfoSphere Data
Architect version 8.5, you can model created global temporary tables (CGTTs)
for DB2 for z/OS version 10 and DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows version 9.7.
This two-part series will demonstrate how you can accelerate data modeling with
CGTTs with DB2 for z/OS version 10 and DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
version 9.7 by adopting InfoSphere Data Architect 8.5.

| Avoid the risks of cloud abuse
Cloud abuse is among the top threats experts expect to see in 2013; one avenue that abuse can take is when cybercriminals use social media vehicles to abuse cloud environments -- such as SaaS-oriented user access through accepted BYOD channels or PaaS-oriented access via Twitter interchanges used by a development team to communicate cloud administration updates. As this author has discussed before, many organizations employ a reactive response when the breach occurs instead of taking more prudent proactive steps. Join the author as she provides a roadmap for abuse mitigation and illustrates what proactive actions can be taken when abuse occurs.
