			DataStage Java Integration Stage and Java Pack]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[Explore the functions
			of the Java Integration Stage (DataStage Connector) introduced in IBM
			InfoSphere Information Server version 9.1. This article addresses the Excel
			data source connectivity problem in older releases of IBM InfoSphere Information
			Server (7.5.x, 8.0.x, 8.1.x, 8.5.x, and 8.7.x) using Java Pack Plug-ins and the Java Pack
			API. The older releases of Information Server do not have a dedicated component for
			Excel connectivity. Third-party ODBC to ODBC bridges were used as an alternative, but they
			are licensed. The Java Pack Stages coupled with the Java Pack API and Apache POI API can
			be used to fetch Excel data into DataStage in a cost-effective way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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&apos;t have available. This is where building a data library using a tool like Hive
	on top of Hadoop becomes a powerful solution.]]></description>

                1: Uni-directional schema subscriptions in DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
            10.1]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

                Data Architect 8.5, Part 2: Modifying an existing data model]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[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

		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

            which functions should be disabled or enabled during the upgrade process. This
            minimizes the impact of conversion/reversion and results in a smooth upgrade
            to Informix 12.10. This article provides all the necessary information to help
            database
            administrators make an informed decision on setting the 12.10 features during
            conversion
            and then changing the settings, if needed, after the upgrade. The article also covers the
            required steps in case a reversion is needed.]]></description>

            set of technical and operational requirements designed to protect cardholder data and
            applies to all organizations who store, process, use, or transmit cardholder data.
            Failure to comply can mean loss of privileges, stiff fines, and, in the case of a data
            breach, severe loss of consumer confidence in your brand or services. The InfoSphere
            Guardium accelerator helps guide you through the process of complying with parts of the

            Management Solution]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[Large numbers of extract, transform, and load (ETL) jobs need to be
            validated during the following two common job
            lifecycle scenarios: Migrating ETL projects/jobs from older version to a new
            version, or moving jobs from development to QA to production. Enterprises typically validate that
            their jobs running in a new version of the software or new hardware environment are
            producing same results as before, giving them confidence that the new system can replace
            the old system. In a similar way, before a job in the data integration process is
            deployed in the production environment, it must be shown to have the expected behavior
            in development, testing, and production environments. In this article, a
            step-by-step example is given on how DataStage users can use IBM InfoSphere
            Optim Test Data Management Solution to validate the results of ETL jobs.]]></description>

            criteria of selecting the zigzag plan, how the zigzag join method works, using
            a zigzag join with a gap in the fact table multi-column index, using the
            ZZJOIN operator, and using the index advisor for zigzag join.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DB2 High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) is an easy-to-use data replication
            feature of IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows that provides a high availability (HA)
            solution for both partial and complete site failures. Beginning with DB2 V9.5 Fix Pack 8
            and DB2 V9.7 Fix Pack 5, a new HADR sync mode called SUPERASYNC has been introduced.
            This article explains the purpose of SUPERASYNC mode, the deployment of a HADR pair using this
            mode, as well as standby state transition in this mode. In addition, it includes use case
            scenarios that explain the implementation of SUPERASYNC mode for disaster recovery.
            It will also look at how Primary will overcome the back pressure and
            perform better in case of single or multiple standby, and what the benefits
            and drawbacks are from using this mode.]]></description>

        environment]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[The DB2 High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HADR) feature is a
            database replication method that provides a high availability solution for both partial
            and complete site failures. HADR protects against data loss by replicating data changes
            from a source database, called the Primary, to a target database, called the Standby.
            The HADR reads on standby (HADR ROS) feature, allows read only applications to access
            either the HADR Primary or the HADR Standby database. This enables an organization to
            offload some of the read-only workloads running on the Primary to the Standby database.
            This paper shows a practical application of this HADR ROS feature in conjunction with
            Virtual IP addresses to ensure continued, automatic connectivity in an Business
            Intelligence Environment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the ever growing importance of Internet monitoring and sentiment
            analysis, there is an immediate need for identifying patterns (performing text analytics)
            in big data. However, one of the challenges during this exercise is that countries can
            have multiple languages that creates a challenge for effectively running the text
            analytics, since rules are not available for all the languages. For example, in India,
            the official language of each state is different and data is available in both English
            and local languages. This article describes how to bring about consistency during the
            transliteration process, and to use IBM InfoSphere Streams to prepare linguistic data
            and apply text analytics or pattern recognition logic.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Starting with IBM Informix 11.70xC2, Informix started supporting
            the private installation feature. The private installation feature(non-root user
            installation) will allow Informix to be installed by a user other than root, and will
            permit the software to run without user Informix or group Informix on the machine.
            Inside the server, Informix will be used as the owner of the system catalog, but neither
            user Informix nor group Informix will have any special privileges with respect to a
            private server. The CSDK and other installers which are part of the Informix bundle will
            also permit non-root users to install the software. In this article, we discuss aspects
            of this feature in Informix and provide tutorials on how to manage users using JDBC,
