System z Technology Summit Streamlining UtilitiesSurekha Parekh
Most DB2 applications are global non-stop, requiring almost
100% accessibility. Availability demands reduce the amount
of time available to perform necessary routine tasks, such as
utility maintenance on the underlying data and objects stored
in DB2 for z/OS that support critical business applications. In
addition, companies are looking for ways to streamline DB2 utility
processing to maximize system and personnel resources. How
valuable would it be to maximize your use of IBM DB2 Utilities
Suite for z/OS for both DB2 9 and DB2 10? What if you could
establish DB2 utility practices at a company level and know
that they would be monitored and adhered to? Do you want
to reduce your batch window during utility sort processing to
improve availability and performance? How important would it
be to run utilities only on objects when and if it’s necessary?
The answers to these questions and more will be revealed in
this session.

1) Power systems are increasingly virtualized, but IBM i currently lacks a way to control workloads on a system and cap specific workloads to prevent overrunning system capacity.
2) Workload groups would allow users to set the amount of processing capacity for a workload, capping it to a specified number of processors. This provides workload control and ensures unstable jobs do not impact performance.
3) Workload groups also help control licensing costs by allowing products to be licensed for less cores than the partition contains and enforcing that product is limited to the licensed number of cores.

Tools for developing and monitoring SQL in DB2 for z/OSSurekha Parekh
Building optimal applications against DB2 for z/OS is often difficult. As most of the real issues relate to maintenancence and changes in the surrounding parameters it’s necessary to define a methodology which enables performance monitoring as well as optimization in existing code.
By knowing more about how the SQL in your shop performs, a lot can be done to to anticipate future problems, such as identifying performance bottlenecks before they impact users and add to IT costs. By building a performance history table, where you monitor performance as time passes, and changes in the environment occur, it’s possible to be proactive, and optimize before the costs turns red.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
