IDUG EMEA 2026

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.

If you want to supercharge your Db2 skills for the future this is the workshop to join.
