Kursbeskrivning: DB2 9.7 for LUW Quickstart for Experienced Relational DBAs (SPVC)

This is a self-paced online course. The average amount of time to complete this course is 32 hours. Once you receive your access information, you will have 60 days to complete this course.

Please do not make travel arrangements for this course. After you receive confirmation that you are enrolled, you will be sent further instructions to access the course.

This course teaches you to perform, basic and advanced, database administrative tasks using DB2 9 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows. These tasks include creating and populating databases and implementing a logical design to support recovery requirements. The access strategies selected by the DB2 Optimizer will be examined using the DB2 Explain tools. Various diagnostic methods will be presented, including using the db2diag.log file messages to direct your investigation of problems, as well as using the db2pd commands and DB2 traces. You will learn how to implement automatic archival for database logs and how to plan a redirected database restore to relocate either selected table spaces or an entire database. The selection of indexes to improve application performance and the use of SQL statements to track database performance and health will be covered. This course provides a quick start to DB2 database administration skills for experienced relational Database Administrators (DBA).

The self-paced format gives you the opportunity to complete the course at your convenience, at any location, and at your own pace. The course is available 24 hours a day. Once you have accessed the course, instructor help is available via the course forum Monday through Friday; questions will be responded to within 24 hours.

HW/SW CONFIGURATION

The minimum hardware and software required to launch the course are:

• Reliable HIGH-SPEED INTERNET connection (min 200 kbps up and down)
• Windows 2000 or XP or Vista
• Computer with soundcard
• Headset or computer speakers

Network Speed Test

User: clp

Pass: ibmeduc

For example, a speed test against the server with a slow connection of 140 Kbps download and 28 Kbps upload took 14 minutes to load a 30min recording before the video began. Extrapolate from this result to estimate approximately how fast your network internet access would be.

High-speed broadband internet access is the recommended configuration for this course.

Keyboard Configuration

If you use a different character keyboard, you may experience errors when entering passwords. If possible, change your language/country settings for your keyboard to USA, which allows you to enter characters as in a QWERTY keyboard.
