13 IBM i 7.2 Pick & Mix

14 What will an all-free RPG mean for non-rpg programmers? Learn RPG much more easily than with fixed-form - Fewer "secret codes" to remember ("E in column 19 means externally-described") - Better token-colorization in the RDI editor, allowing programmers to have the same look-and-feel for RPG code as for other languages like Java or PHP - New programmers will only have to learn how to use RPG, without having to struggle with how it is coded Learn from RPG programmers about - Business programming - Attributes of IBM i that make it a dream for programmers, such as the automatic logging of messages (joblog)

15 Row and Column Access Control (RCAC) IBM Advanced Data Security for i (Boss option 47) No charge Shielding your data from users who don t need to see it. Instead of trying to control data security at the application layer, data access can be controlled at the database layer across all interfaces. RCAC gives you the ability to implement object-level controls without even giving access to all of the data. It s really two things melded together - Row permissions : which only return the rows of data that you are permitted to see. - Column masks : which over-write or obscure returned values with specified alternatives At 7.2 only users with QIBM_DB_SECADM authority can manage RCAC.

16 SQL performance improvements Out of the Box what s **faster? OPNQRYF & Query/400 complex queries I/O intensive queries Queries with long IN lists Improvement of performance of the SQL Query Engine (SQE) and the improved indexing support. SQE is now also used to process native query access interfaces including the Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command and Query/400 requests. These older style queries will now have the potential to run a little faster and be analyzed with the newer DB2 performance tools. This new improvement is not an excuse to remain using the old tools - it is still best practice to migrate these older queries to SQL-based interfaces such as DB2 Web Query so that you have easy access to the functional advantages offered by SQL.

17 In-Memory Database - popular topic across the industry IBM i in-memory controls for well over 20 years. CL Command level memory control (added in 7.1) - Target existing physical & logical files CHGPF/CHGLF KEEPINMEM(*YES *NO) Database will bring the object into memory when accessed using SQL - Parallel I/O will be considered to bring the object into memory - Stored in the file attribute survives IPLs, Save/Restore, etc. - No guarantee that objects will remain in memory, odds are good as it happens whenever rows are fetched SQL KEEP IN MEMORY memory-attribute (new in 7.2) - Target new or existing SQL tables & indexes CREATE TABLE KEEP IN MEMORY NO or YES Database will bring the object into memory when accessed using SQL - Includes ALTER TABLE support - Granular control for managing partition tables - Once set, behavior matches KEEPINMEM

18 Timestamp precision When a row is inserted into a table, you often are required to keep track of the time the transaction occurred. Today's servers are must faster, so transactions can appear to have happened at the same time with only six digits of precision To address this issue, you can now track 12 digits of precision. You can also drop the sub-second precision points to reduce the storage requirements for your table.

19 Temporary storage Define new accounting buckets to track temporary storage usage. Track temporary storage allocations which persist after a job ends Track temporary storage scoped to a job, the temporary file system, LIC tasks, etc. You could use a simple piece of SQL to report on the usage by job. Observe System-wide Temporary storage consumption via a new DB2 for i Service: QSYS2/SYSTMPSTG

21 IBM i Mobile Access Technology Preview Powered by IBM i Access for Web (5770XH2) Features include the ability to: - view and manage jobs, messages, output queues, files, printers - view, add, insert and update database records - build, run, save SQL statements with an SQL wizard - start one or more 5250 emulation sessions with the ability to reconnect even after a device power down - extract data from a variety of IBM i resources into a table using optional column selection - distribute and manage files to other users from a common download location This capability is provided as part of 7.2 IBM i Access for Web (5770XH2) which can be installed on IBM i release 7.2, 7.1 and 6.1. If you are using IBM i release 6.1 or 7.1, you may order 7.2 IBM i Access for Web (5770XH2) by ordering refresh feature code 57xx- SS

22 BRMS Enhancements BRMS Enterprise - Dashboard of all BRMS systems - Central site monitoring Graphical Interface supports additional function Backup with improvements to IFS backups, include and exclude support in BRMS Object List and new ability to save by size of library Media Services allows concurrent duplications in batch via SBMOPT parm New features for Recovery supports restore list options and other new function Maintenance - Increase performance with *BATCH on RGZBRMDB - RMVMEDI at an object retention level for *OBJ, *LNK, *DLO, *SPL Faster install via new alter table support

23 Integrated Middle Ware on IBM i IBM i HTTP Server now running Apache Improved performance - SNI (Server Name Indication) support - OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) support - Independent Subsystems IBM i Integrated Application Server now powered by Liberty Runs on Java 7 & Updated to the latest web specs - JCA 1.6, JSR Replace for Tomcat runs on any platform - Upward compatible to full WebSphere - Supported by normal development tools - Several IBM interfaces have been running on this since last year Java - Support for Java 6, Java 7 & Java Support removed for Java 5 and Java SAMBA - Fast, modern, lightweight CIFS file serving - Common Internet File System - Better protocol compatibility with current Windows clients - SMB 2.0 protocol support

24 DB2 for i & IBM i Why move to 7.2? 1. Major improvements for SQL & Native DB users - Improved database performance, in many cases with zero changes needed by the application or user - New capabilities to protect business critical data - Improved insight into database workloads 2. Major improvements for SQL application development - New SQL statements, special registers, built-in global variables and catalogs - Enhanced SQL behavior - Extended capabilities in Navigator & PDI 3. Position your company to receive future DB2 for i enhancements - Additional DB2 for i enhancements are coming to 7.2 via DB2 PTF Groups on the Technology Refresh (TR) candence Note: While 7.2 will include all enhancements, some will also be PTF d to previous releases
