IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator: Lessons Learned

Project and Program: Information Management, Database

Tags: Proceedings, 2015, SHARE in Seattle 2015

You've probably heard all about the potential benefits of the IDAA and how it can speed up queries by an order of magnitude or more. This presentation will give a few examples of such benefits, but mostly will focus on the things the marketing materials won't mention--things we learned the hard way.
Come to this session and hear about: • What to consider before you start your IDAA implementation
• IDAA facts that may surprise you or trip you up
• Why you need to think differently about IDAA vs. DB2
• The importance of testing and how you might want to do it
• Incremental update performance, measurement, and tuning
• Finally, some examples of actual query acceleration

There's an old saying: "The pioneers get the arrows". Come hear from somebody who has collected a few IDAA arrows and why he still thinks this is a transformative technology that every z/OS DB2 site should consider.-Scott Chapman-Enterprise Performance Strategies Inc.
