Using the IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator

The IBM® DB2® Analytics Accelerator is a high-performance appliance that integrates business insights into operational processes.

Tivoli Decision Support for z/OS includes Analytics Components that are designed to support the IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator. These components are based on existing non-Analytics components that are modified to allow for the following functions:
  • Store data directly to an IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator removing the need to store data on DB2 for z/OS®.
  • Allow for more detailed timestamp level records to be stored.
  • Allow for more CPU work to move from z/OS to the IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator appliance.
  • Report to make use of the high query speeds of the IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator.

The System Data Engine component of the IBM Common Data Provider for z Systems® is used to convert SMF log data into data sets that contain the IBM Tivoli® Decision Support for z/OS Analytics components tables in DB2 internal format. The IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Loader for z/OS is then used to load the DB2 internal format data sets directly into the IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator.

The Analytics components comprise the following items:
  • Analytics - z/OS Performance
  • Analytics - DB2
  • Analytics - KPM CICS®
  • Analytics - KPM DB2
  • Analytics - KPM z/OS
