G201/202 | Db2 & You: Getting to - and using - Db2 13 for z/OS
Sunday June 8, 2025 9:00am - 5:00pm EDT
Generally available since 2022, Db2 13 for z/OS continues to deliver new capabilities, with 74% (and
growing) of the capabilities being delivered via the continuous delivery stream. Meanwhile, Db2 12 for z/OS
end-of-support is announced for the end of 2025.

Join us for this free workshop, constructed by the original Db2 for z/OS Migration Planning Workshop author (V8 – V11). This workshop is designed to help you no matter where you are in the migration lifecycle. If you have not started your migration to Db2 13, now is the time to begin, and this workshop can help you to prepare and get started. If you already use Db2 13, chances are there is even more value to gain from this version, and this workshop can show you how.

DBAs, Designers, and Architects will find topics of interest throughout the entire session, while System Programmers may be more interested in the morning sessions and Application Developers the afternoon sessions. The topics are arranged by role to make best use of your time.

Topics will include:
  • Migration (with best practices, scripts to assist, and a project plan)
  • Serviceability & Resiliency (the highest-ranking category for features within Db2 13)
  • New design & implementation features DBAs & Designers will appreciate
  • Utilities update
  • Security
  • Storage changes
  • Data Sharing
  • Hardware synergy
  • System Profiles
  • Connectivity Considerations
  • SQL Enhancements
  • Optimization Evolution
