This course is designed to teach you how to:

• Perform advanced monitoring using the Db2 administrative views and routines in SQL queries.

• Manage the disk space assigned in Database Managed Storage (DMS) and Automatic Storage table spaces, including the activities of the rebalancer.

• Use SQL queries and Db2 commands to check the high water mark on table spaces and to monitor the rebalance operation.

• Utilize the REBUILD option of RESTORE, which can build a database copy with a subset of the tablespaces using database or tablespace backup images.

• Plan and execute the TRANSPORT option of RESTORE to copy schemas of objects between two Db2 databases.

• Create incremental database or tablespace level backups to reduce backup processing and backup image storage requirements

• Implement automatic storage management for table spaces and storage groups or enable automatic resize options for DMS managed table spaces to reduce administration requirements and complexity. 

• Describe the various types of database memory including buffer pools, sort memory, lock memory and utility processing memory

• Adjust database or Db2 instance configuration options to improve application performance or processing efficiency.

• Implement Db2 Self Tuning Memory management for specific database memory areas.
