John Battelle's Searchblog

'The post else 11/25: The Collective Hallucination of Currency appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. This week, bitcoin seems to have gotten the thumbs up for innovation despite some shady origins, lots of background details came out about the circumstances that approved NSA dragnet, and privacy is declared an anomaly.

DB2 for z/OS Work: the Task's the Thing

Robert's Db2

To understand how DB2 work is handled in a z/OS system, you need to have some understanding of the tasks used to manage that work. Here, "tasks" doesn't refer to things done or to be done. It refers instead to the control blocks used to represent, for dispatching purposes, application and system processes in a z/OS LPAR. I have found that several misconceptions related to DB2 for z/OS workload processing are rooted in misunderstandings of the tasks behind the workload.

A Great Analytics on System z Use Case: The Operational Data Store

Robert's Db2

A few months ago, I posted an entry to this blog on the subject of "moving queries to data," the idea being that when data to be analyzed for decision support purposes originates in a DB2 for z/OS database (as a great deal of the world's corporate and governmental data does), a very good case can be made for analyzing that data on its platform of origin -- System z -- as opposed to copying and moving the data to a different platform for querying and reporting.
