Abstract:

Fast and consistent cloning of entire DB2 subsystems, groups of objects, or single objects can – for many reasons – be a major challenge.

From a technical perspective, cloning, as such, is not too complicated a process. A set of easy-to-use and reliable tools can save significant amounts of time, effort, and trouble, especially with regard to the renaming requirements involved.

This webinar focuses on the exact replication of entire DB2 subsystems or data sharing groups, including DS to non-DS, and vice versa, and implementing a one-of-a-kind Fast Rename method.

We will also show how to consistently duplicate groups of objects or single objects, once again taking into consideration all renaming steps.

Reaching the highest automation level of customer-specific cloning scenarios, is the main concern of a successful cloning process. This automation performance allows a seamless and easy integration of existing site-related procedures, making use of the unique strengths of XML.

With our state-of-the-art methods and powerful technology, cloning is fast and easy.
