Using IBM DB2 BLU V11.1
for SAP BW - High
Scalability and
Performance
Improvements
Karl Fleckenstein and
Brigitte Blaeser, IBM
Deutschland R&D
GmbH, IBM Employee
In this session, we will give an overview how the new DB2 V11.1 BLU technology extensions are seamlessly
integrated into SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW). Very fast SAP BW query processing on very large BW
objects with billions of records is the major benefit of DB2 BLU for SAP BW. Among the highlights, we will
demonstrate how the new BLU MPP option allows large SAP BW system scalability. We will show that the
usage of new DB2 V11.1 OLAP functions allows additional function push-down from the SAP BW application
server into the DB2 database server. This improves SAP BW query performance up to many factors. Finally,
learn best practices to run SAP BW on DB2 V11.1 most efficiently.

Back in the day when you wanted DB2 you installed DB2. That's so last year. From the various XaaS ("as a
Service") options to pricing and other considerations, this overview is designed to help you ask the right
questions and provide meaningful feedback when your CFO asks "Are we cloud-ready?" This session covers
both DB2 for z/OS and DB2 for LUW and addresses data loading and interoperability across data repositories,
wherever they reside.

IBM Data Server Manager
in a diverse user
environment
Ben Lenard, Argonne
National Laboratory ,
Client
In most corporate organizations, Windows is the dominant platform for developers, DBA’s, System
administrators, and users. At Argonne National Laboratory, the desktop OS'es range from Mac, SLES, Ubuntu,
RHEL, Debian, and Windows. That being said, I arrived in an environment where developers and users either
solely used the DB2 CLI or they were forced into running Windows within a VM so that they can use IBM Data
Studio. IBM DataServer Manager has allowed me to engage the developers and users so that we can get the
most benefit out of our DB2 LUW investment while producing better code. DSM has allowed me to create a
self-service environment so that developers can understand their code.

scalability to a public Cloud
Thomas Rech, IBM, IBM
Employee; Martin
Heitkämper, arvato
Systems GmbH, Client
When running software in a public Cloud environment it’s always about easy scalability, e.g. for web
services or DaaS. But what, if your legacy application can’t use DaaS but still needs reliability of its
database and the Cloud provider even does not guarantee availability of VMs? This is where DB2 pureScale
comes in. Join the rollercoaster ride towards a scalable and high available DB2 database in a public Cloud
environment and see, what’s possible and which problems had to be solved on the way.
