Overview About Training:

z/OS DB2 Training in which helps you to understand how the companies are using DB2.
In the Year of 1983 IBM introduced relational Database model in Mainframe. If we want
to work or interact with database means, we need to know about DB2 subsystem. Our
DB2 Training is very much mixed both practical and Theory.

COURSE CONTENT:

z/OS DB2System Programmer

This course is designed to describe the basic components that apply to all z/OS systems. It
includes high level concepts that apply to the z/OS hardware platform and the z/OS software &
DB2. It then provides a more detailed analysis, description and lab activities that can be applied
to the Db2 system programmer role to maintain z/OS systems.

Audience:

This is advanced DB2 course for z/OS database administrator’s/System programmer

who need to acquire the basic skills required to administer a DB2 database in a z/OS
environment.

Prerequisites:

There are no formal prerequisites for this course.
