Recently, I was talking with people from a company's IT department about modernizing their mainframe application architecture.Among other things, we discussed increasing the company's use of stored procedures for DB2 for z/OS data access. That prompted some questions around the use of the DB2 SQL statement SET CURRENT PACKAGESET in stored procedures called by DRDA requesters (these being calls that would get to DB2 via the distributed data facility, or DDF).

In an entry posted a few months ago to this blog, I touched on several matters pertaining to mainframe zIIP engines and the use of these processors by DB2 for z/OS. Based on recent experience, I feel that it's important to further highlight a particular zIIP-related issue: zIIP engine contention. Through this post, I want to explain what zIIP contention is, why you want to avoid it, how you can spot it, and what you can do about it.

Transformation strategies for building a “cloud-enabled” enterprise. shobana.lv@cgi.com. Fri, 09/12/2014 - 08:00. Cloud-enabled enterprises take a “cloud-first” approach to IT service delivery, taking advantage of cloud capabilities offered by external suppliers instead of building them in house. However, purchasing many different types of cloud services from multiple suppliers in an ad-hoc fashion leads to a highly fragmented IT environment, which, in turn, will negate the many benefits of clou
