C201 From Db2 First Responder to Emergency Technician - The problem determination master workshop

Sunday September 27, 2026 9:00am - 1:00pm BST

Db2 delivers a wide range of tools for problem determination. Those tools range from the new Log Analysis Capability in IBM Db2 Genius Hub to classical tools that can and should be used for deeper analysis.
As the Db2 community constantly welcomes new database administrators and application developers, an effecient tooling and its use is required for those new community mambers.
The session will share tools and best practices for the first occurrence data capture (FODC) tools available for DBAs and developers. This session will cover the first steps in the process of problem determination and problem source identification (PD/PSI). It provides hands-on and practical examples for the strategy and process to encircle and find problems by asking the right questions.
