Redirected Recovery of IBM DB2 Recovery Expert for z/OS v3.2
In our ERP DB2 environment on z/OS, we perform frequent Data
migrations. Most of the time it’ll be whole Database (of size ~3 TB) migrated
from Prod to QA or DEV sub-systems. My DBA team was using a Vendor Tool (with
REXX customizations) for the Data migrations. But, that was unable to handle
the volume of the Data migrated every time and also had some Performance
issues. So, we needed a better Tool for Data migrations.
IBM DB2 Recovery Expert for z/OS is in market since many
years. It didn’t had the component that can be used for Data migrations from
one DB2 sub-system to other. IBM released Redirected Recovery component in 2015,
which can perform the Data migrations with better Performance.
We are one of the early adopters of the new component. And, I
was assigned to test and implement the Tool in our DB2 environment. After 8
months of rigorous testing, I implemented Redirected Recovery successfully in
our DB2 for z/OS environments.
I and my colleague are going to present about our Redirected
Recovery Implementation experiences in IBM WoW Conference. Our Presentation is scheduled on 27-Oct-16 from 1 – 1.45 PM. Below are our Session details.
