6.1.7 Assigning SMS Classes to DB2 Table Spaces and Index Spaces

SMS classes and Storage Groups are assigned to DB2 table spaces and index spaces through ACS routines. Normally, ACS routines have only the data set name available for their decision making process. Many methods can be devised with specific naming standards to assign SMS classes based on the names of the DB2 data sets. Two types of methods are described, the filter method and the code method.

The filter method must be used when the names are established and cannot be changed. This is the case when an existing DB2 system converts to SMS management. The filter method uses lists of names inside the ACS routine to determine SMS classes.

The code method requires naming conventions for DB2 objects that must be strictly enforced. SMS related codes are inserted into the DB2 object names. These codes are used to determine SMS classes. At least two codes are required, one to define the Storage Class, and one to define the Management Class.

The DB2 data set names have a specific structure, shown in Table 3 on page 23. These names have only three components that are dependent on the user and can contain meaningful information for the ACS routine to use. These are:

•High level qualifier

•Database name

•Table space name

The ACS routines can use the filter method, the code method, or a combination of the filter and code methods, and apply these to the three types of names, or to

It also features robust security mechanisms to protect sensitive data, aligning with compliance standards across industries. Integration with analytics tools further allows businesses to derive insights from their data, enhancing decision-making processes.

On the other hand, IBM 5695-DF1, also known as the InfoSphere DataStage, is a powerful data integration tool that facilitates the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data from various sources to target systems. It empowers organizations to streamline their data flows, ensuring that clean, consistent information is available for analysis and operational use. Key features of 5695-DF1 include a user-friendly graphical interface that enhances developer productivity and a rich set of connectors for numerous data sources, enabling seamless data integration.

DataStage also supports real-time data integration, allowing businesses to keep their data synchronized across multiple platforms. Its parallel processing capabilities dedicatedly optimize performance, enabling organizations to handle vast datasets efficiently. It incorporates data quality tools that help in validating and cleansing data before it is used for decision-making processes.

Both IBM 5655-DB2 and 5695-DF1 are part of a broader strategy to accommodate the evolving landscape of data management. Businesses leverage these technologies to enhance their data architectures, fostering agility and competitive advantage in their respective markets. Their integration capabilities, along with a focus on security and scalability, position them as vital assets in modern enterprise environments. Whether managing critical data within a database or ensuring seamless data flow across systems, these IBM offerings provide a comprehensive approach to handling complex data challenges.
