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.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
