API Enable Your Database
Wednesday May 21, 2025 10:45am - 11:45am PDT
Room 5
How important is delivering business data to your users and customers? I’d bet it’s among the top concerns of any development effort. How do you deliver data in the modern world? Rest API are one of the most common methods. We’ll explore, though live demos, how to expose data in a safe and secure manner using Integrated Web Services (IWS). Our focus will be on directly leveraging the DATBASE with SQL, not using RPG or Service program.

Stepping through SQL Performance
Wednesday May 21, 2025 3:45pm - 4:45pm PDT
Room 5
Every SQL statement has a predefined steps that it must go through before it can complete you data base requests.  Each step taken can positively or negatively impact SQL performance - especially on transactional applications that are running the same set of SQL statements over and over again. This session will explain each step needed to run an SQL statement and the structures that Db2 creates that can impact performance. In addition, this session will review application design and settings that can impact the performance of the required steps.

Ai, its all the buzz, but what if you really could start to leverage AI in the automated management of your IBM i systems ? With the latest support from IBM and the Instana product, combined with tools like Prometheus and Ansible, you now have options for monitoring virtual any metric you can dream up, combined with powerful alerting capabilities and AI to help determine the best corrective action via Ansible. In this session we will review these technologies, as well as show demos of this in action.
