WebSphere Federated Database Technology, as implemented by DB2 UDB and WebSphere Information Integrator (formerly known as DB2 Information Integrator), provides unparalleled capabilities to access and manage both relational and non-relational data spanning multiple data sources, including multivendor, from a single query, all of this with superior performance. This is true cross platform multidatabase support without the cross platform limitations imposed by other federated tools and facilities.
Develop your skills by setting up and administrating a Federated Database environment. Learn the configuration for all supported DB2 UDB and WebSphere Information Integrator data sources. Complete hands-on exercises between DB2 UDB for Windows, DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390, DB2 UDB for AIX, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle databases are included. Using a server that you configure, perform an optimized four-way join between these data sources from a single SQL statement. Use the ability to create a Materialized Query Tables (MQT) based upon nicknames in order to employ a data grid. Access non-relational data sources, for example Excel spreadsheets, Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents or Web services, from DB2 SQL select statements.
Continue developing your management skills by monitoring, tuning, and troubleshooting a Federated Database environment. Learn the configuration options for all supported DB2 UDB and WebSphere Information Integrator data sources and how to tune the Federated Server for maximum Federated Database performance. Complete hands-on exercises in which you will further optimize your previously implemented four-way join while exploring tuning and problem determination options.
This course is appropriate for professionals working with DB2 UDB, WebSphere Information Integrator, and DiscoveryLink Federated Technology applications. |
