Abstract This presentation discusses migrating, primarily to DB2 9, preparing to use the new functions, understanding and early planning for DB2 10. Process, customer recommendations, and pointers to more information are included. This session will focus on the tasks of the person who installs DB2. Systems programmers and database administrators generally perform this task. This session will help you get ready to migrate to the new version and to be ready for the next one. Whether you are ready to migrate now or are still years away, the planning step should start now, so that you can use your time more effectively.
The speaker has worked in DB2 development for the past 30 years, and continues working with the team building the install & migration process.
