Description
At SIXE we have been providing official IBM training around the world for over 12 years. Get the best training from our specialists in Europe. We have important discounts and offers for two or more students.
Course details
| IBM course code: CV851G | Category: DB2 / DB2 V10 |
| Delivery: Online & on-site** | Course length in days: 5 |
Target audience
This intermediate course is for system administrators, database administrators, and other technical individuals, who manage and implement DB2 10 for z/OS.
Desired Prerequisites:
You should have an understanding of the objects (tables, indexes, databases, and so forth) used in DB2 systems, and of how those objects are created, managed, and recovered.
These skills can be developed by taking the DB2 Database Administration Workshop (CF83) / DB2 9 for z/OS Database Administration Workshop Part 1 (CV830) or through equivalent experience. You should also have a working knowledge of SQL. The DB2 SQL Workshop (CF12) / SQL Workshop – Instructor Led Online (3E120) provides that.
In addition, you should have:
- At least one year as a z/OS systems programmer or equivalent experience
- Or, one year working with DB2 on the mainframe as a DBA on the mainframe or equivalent experience
Instructors
The great majority of the IBM courses we offer are taught directly by our engineers. This is the only way we can guarantee the highest quality. We complement all the training with our own materials and laboratories, based on our experience during the deployments, migrations and courses that we have carried out during all these years.
Added value
Our courses are deeply role oriented. To give an example, the needs for technology mastery are different for developer teams and for the people in charge of deploying and managing the underlying infrastructure. The level of previous experience is also important and we take it very seriously. That is why beyond (boring) commands and tasks, we focus on solving the problems that arise in the day to day of each team. Providing them with the knowledge, competencies and skills required for each project. In addition, our documentation is based on the latest version of each product.
