Show Host Klaas Brant Commentary

I have no idea what was wrong on Monday, but for me it was a disaster day.Maybe the stars were aligned incorrect, or my biorhythm was off-scale but nothing seemed to work.To make things worse GoToWebinar had a new release over the weekend and suddenly many peoplecomplained that they had audio but no visual. I can tell you, that made me really nervousand because of that this show was not my best. Luckily my presenter, John Campbell hasperfect presentation skills. I hope you did not see all the bloopers I made :-o

Now about the major part of the show, planning for a new DB2 release is notalways easy, it takes time. You want to do thing right because there is toomuch at stake.

A message from our sponsor SoftBase

In spite of massive investments of money, time, and resources into critical DB2® for z/OS® projects, most still run late and far over budget. Plus, application reliability is poor in spite of strenuous coding and testing efforts. Managing DB2 test data seems to be a significant bottleneck in many installations.

SoftBase’s products enable DB2 users to code, test, and deploy more reliable DB2 for z/OS applications in a fraction of the time that it takes them now.

DB/IQ-QA™ provides Application Developers advice, recommendations, and standardization that will dramatically accelerate coding of their DB2 SQL Statements

QBase™ enables developers to code and dynamically test SQL statements without executing the entire application.

SoftBase's TestBase™ provides a revolutionary new patented technology for test data management called Slice™ that enables all Application Developers and QA Personnel in a shop to test together within one set of DB2 objects without impacting each others' results.
