SESSION 1 (5:00 PM):

TOPIC: “What’s new in Db2 for i”

The database team delivers enhancements twice a year. Attend this session to learn about recent additions to SQL, IBM i Services, and more. I will cover new and enhanced Db2 for i capabilities added in IBM i 7.6. I will also include some items that are available in IBM i 7.4 and IBM i 7.5 through recent IBM i Technology Refreshes.


BUFFET DINNER (6:00 PM):


SESSION 2 (7:00 PM):

TOPIC: “Monitor and Manage IBM i with SQL Services”

IBM i Services are provided by Db2 for i and can be used to access and manage the IBM i operating system. This session will include many examples of how to use IBM i Services to modernize administration on IBM i. Included in the examples are SQL techniques that can be used in multiple ways. Invest in understanding this alternative to existing IBM i APIs and commands.
