Course Description
The curriculum has been revised for DB2 10 for z/OS. This course is the instructor-led online course DB2 10 for z/OS System Administration - ILO's classroom delivery (3V851).
Prerequisites
You should be familiar with the types of objects (such as databases, tables, and indexes) used by DB2 systems, as well as how they are built, maintained, and recovered. By taking the DB2 Database Administration Workshop (CF83) or the DB2 9 for z/OS Database Administration Workshop Part 1 (CV830), or by gaining similar experience, one can learn these skills. SQL should also be something you are familiar with. That is provided via the DB2 SQL Workshop (CF12) and SQL Workshop - Instructor Led Online (3E120). Additionally, you ought to have: at least one year of experience as a z/OS systems programmer, or something comparable alternatively, one year of experience using DB2 on the mainframe as a DBA, or something comparable
Target Audience
This intermediate course is for system administrators, database administrators, and other technical individuals, who manage and implement DB2 10 for z/OS.

FAQs
IBM created the Db2 family of data management tools, which includes database servers. Although it was originally designed to serve the relational model, it has now been expanded to include object-relational functionality as well as non-relational structures like JSON and XML.
You can realize the benefits of using Db2 Multisystem in several ways:
Query performance can be improved by running in parallel (pieces of the query are run simultaneously on different systems).
The need for data replication decreases because all of the systems can access all of the data.
Much larger database files can be accommodated.
Applications are no longer concerned with the location of remote data.
When growth is needed, you can redistribute the file across more systems, and applications can run unchanged on the new systems
