1 World 16 MAINFRAME AND WORKLOAD AUTOMATION How to Get the Most out of Your DB2 and Analytics Investment Ron Colmone CA Technologies Sr Consulting #CAWorld MFX81E

2 Abstract Ron Colmone This session will focus on a new mainframe DB2 tools customer or a non-db2 customer interested in DB2 solutions from CA Technologies and helping them understand the value CA Technologies Sr Consulting Architect proposition and the real-life use cases (administration, change management, performance optimization, monitoring, etc.) where DB2 tools help customers reduce operational costs, reduce risks associated with downtime/availability, improve service levels and improve user productivity. #CAWORLD

3 Agenda 1 2 CLONING USING CA RC/MIGRATOR FOR DB2 FOR Z/OS DB2 REAL TIME STATS (RTS) FOR AUTOMATION 3 4 PACKAGE COMPARE INTEGRATION WITH CHANGE CONTROL DETECTOR COLLECTION AND REPORTING PROFILES 5 CA RC/QUERY FOR DB2 FOR Z/OS HDDL LINE COMMAND 6 7 MANAGE DB2 ANALYTICS ACCELERATOR (IDAA) TIPS AND HINTS WITH THE TOOLS #CAWORLD

4 Use Case: Cloning using RC/Migrator (Merger) #CAWORLD

5 CA RC/Migrator (Merger) Cloning Data using CA RC/Migrator M Strategy Move or Copy Table/Index Spaces from one Subsystem to another (could be same SSID) Shared DASD required between subsystems No requirement to unload and reload tables Copy the VSAM datasets from source subsystem to target including catalog statistics Flashcopy supported to eliminate outage on source system OBIDs can be reserved or translated in place on target system #CAWORLD

6 CA RC/Migrator (Merger) Customer case study Customer initially used Unload/Load Migration process to move data from Production to Test Second phase was to remove unnecessary Indexes from the move process Then converted Migration strategy to use RC/Merger large reduction in processing time Implemented FlashCopy Support (RC/Merger R19 feature) #CAWORLD

7 CA RC/Migrator (Merger) Customer statistics moving from standard Unload/Load method to RC/Merger Using Unload/Load Processing Note: Cloning process is now handling 2-3x the data originally processed Removed some unnecessary indexes Converted to RC/Merger process Implemented SNAPSHOT with RC/Merger #CAWORLD

8 CA RC/Migrator (Merger) Cloning Data using CA RC/Migrator M Strategy Specify RC/Merger Move/Copy Analysis Strategy Options. Reserve OBIDS=Y will remove need to translate OBIDs unless collision. Source Execution of Read Only ensures consistent copy. #CAWORLD

9 CA RC/Migrator (Merger) Cloning Data using CA RC/Migrator M Strategy Global Changes allow object attributes to be altered on target system. Copy Source Tablespaces to Target Tablespaces. #CAWORLD

10 CA RC/Migrator (Merger) Cloning Data using CA RC/Migrator M Strategy RC/Merger will allocate Target VSAM datasets if required. #CAWORLD

11 CA RC/Migrator (Merger) Cloning Data using CA RC/Migrator M Strategy Call RC/Merger to Reserve OBIDs if available. #CAWORLD

12 Use Case: DB2 Real Time Statistics (RTS) for Automation #CAWORLD

13 DB2 Real Time Stats for Automation Database Analyzer Object Selection using RTS DB2 Object selection based on RTS using Reorg best practice selection criteria (DSNACCOX like) #CAWORLD

14 DB2 Real Time Stats for Automation Database Analyzer Object Selection using RTS Execution of PDA Extract Procedure to generate Online Reorgs JOBs for selected Tablespaces tied to Object Selection Profile #CAWORLD

15 DB2 Real Time Stats for Automation Database Analyzer Object Selection using RTS Online Reorg JCL generated into target library for each object selected based on best practice selection criteria. #CAWORLD

16 Use Case: Package Compare Integration With Change Control #CAWORLD

17 PPA Package Compare Integration With Change Control Identifying Access Path Changes #CAWORLD

18 PPA Package Compare Integration With Change Control Cost Compare analysis Add Batch Process steps to Change Control process in order to detect SQL performance impact due to SQL changes Current Explain of Package can be used to create the Baseline Future Explain with Comparison to Current Explain to detect impact of SQL changes Options can be specified to set Threshold value on cost comparison #CAWORLD

19 PPA Package Compare Integration With Change Control Add JCL step to Change Control Process to Compare baseline to future explain in order to analyze access path changes of package. CVCCOPTS contains options for Cost Compare report including thresholds. #CAWORLD

20 PPA Package Compare Integration With Change Control Package compare of Old versus New package compare resulted in 26 improved SQL statements. #CAWORLD

21 PPA Package Compare Integration With Change Control Cost of SQL statement went from 60 to 1 (ms) since Access type changed from TS_SCN to IXDATA. #CAWORLD

22 PPA New R19 Feature to Simplify Compare Process Rebind Compare Analysis Report Rebind Compare Analysis (RCA) command to simplify compare current / future access paths for a package Issues Current Explain of Package, followed by Future Explain Compares Future to Current explain results and generates the Rebind Compare Analysis report Show only SQL statements where access path has changed RCA can be issued from most reports where a Package line exists #CAWORLD

23 PPA Rebind Compare Analysis (RCA) RCA Line command can be executed on most reports containing a Package detail line. Current/Future explains following by Compare with Rebind Analysis Report for SQL with Access Path changes. #CAWORLD

24 PPA Rebind Compare Analysis (RCA) Rebind Compare Analysis report shows a cost improvement from 44 to 1 (ms) when rebinding package on DB2 V10 due to ColFnE=R (Column Function evaluated at data retrieval) #CAWORLD

25 Use Case: Detector Reporting and Collection Profile Usage #CAWORLD

26 Detector Reporting and Collection Profile Usage Define application groups using reporting profiles Application profiles can be defined for collections of PLANs, Packages, CorrID, and Users which make up an application. In this example, RTPPLNMN and RTPREG are the collection of PLAN names that are specified in the profile that make of the Application RTPAPPL. #CAWORLD

27 Detector Reporting Profile Usage Viewing DB2 activity by Application Reporting Profile View By Prof (option F) provides an aggregate view of all activity for the selected intervals by all PLANs defined in the specific application profiles. In this example, RTPAPPL is the application ID associated with the application profile that aggregates the collection of PLANS that make up the application. All other activity in the interval is represented by *No Profile*. #CAWORLD

28 Detector Reporting Profile Usage Drill down into activity within the selected Application By selecting an application profile with an S line command on the View By Profile display, activity can then be displayed for each PLAN (or profile type) individually within the Application. Further Drill down to Programs, Dynamic SQL, or other Keys can then be selected. #CAWORLD

29 Use Case: CA RC/Query HDDL Line Command #CAWORLD

30 CA RC/Query HDDL Line Command Generate DDL for specified object along with Parent and Dependent Objects HDDL Line command on a DB2 object will generate DDL for the object along with its Parent and Dependent Objects. #CAWORLD

31 Use Case: Manage DB2 Analytics Accelerator #CAWORLD

32 Manage DB2 Analytics Accelerator Use CA RC/Query for IDAA administration Ability to Start/Stop/Display and PING Accelerator from RC/Q Accelerator List #CAWORLD

33 Manage DB2 Analytics Accelerator Use CA RC/Query for IDAA administration RC/Q Accelerator Table list report provides table level administration of your IDAA #CAWORLD

34 Manage DB2 Analytics Accelerator Use CA RC/Query for IDAA administration IDAA Table level functions are available to Define, Alter, Remove, Load, etc. #CAWORLD

35 Manage DB2 Analytics Accelerator Use CA RC/Query for IDAA administration Load DB2 Table into IDAA RC/Q ALOAD Command Can load range of partitions or entire Table Uses IDAA Loader utility Most commands such as ALOAD are available using Batch Processor Scripts #CAWORLD
