Messing with JSON data – how to consume and publish JSON data using Db2
Presenter: Mark Gillis
Date: Monday 28th October
Time: 14:00 – 15:00
Session: F3(SESS-23)
Abstract: JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is an open standard data interchange format that has been around since the early 2000s but is gaining more traction all the time.
Data is available from a variety of sources and customers want to be able to consume and publish it without having to involve extra resources, software, or staff. As such, it behoves us in the database community to ensure that we can store it and process the data. This presentation will demonstrate how to accomplish that requirement.

Introduction to Db2 Restart
Speaker: Gareth Copplestone-Jones
Date: Tuesday, 29th October 2024
Time: 14:00 – 15:00
Session: C8(SESS-33)
Abstract: It is all too easy to take Db2 restart for granted, but it is important to understand how Db2 restart works so you can plan for and practice restart when there are exception conditions such as LPAR failures, in-doubt units of recovery, or objects in a group buffer pool recovery pending state. Planning, practice, and preparation will stand you in good stead when you have a real emergency and need to restore a business service as soon as possible and at the same time preserve data integrity.
