DALLAS, May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware Corporation today announced the release of version 6.4 of its powerful DB2 administration workbench, Compuware DBA-Xpert for DB2. This tool helps DBAs automate the migration from one version of DB2 to another--saving labor, time and money.
"Compuware is committed to helping our customers achieve economic value from their investments in technology," said Rose Rowe, Compuware Vice President of Mainframe Solutions. "By automating what would otherwise be very complex and labor intensive activities, DBA-Xpert for DB2 saves our customers both time and money."
To provide additional insight into the complex tasks that face DBAs, Greg Lackey, a leading expert in DB2 migration for Compuware, will join Susan Lawson and Dan Luksetich of Yevich, Lawson and Associates Inc. to present "Handling DB2 Database and Version Migrations" at the IDUG North America conference on Wednesday, May 21 from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Yevich, Lawson and Associates Inc specializes in DB2 z/OS database and application design and performance. Lawson and Luksetich work with clients developing and tuning some of the world's largest DB2 z/OS databases, and also teach a wide variety of classes based upon their experience. They recently authored the "DB2 9 for z/OS DBA Certification Guide" published by McPress.
"With object migrations occupying a significant portion of DBA time, a good tool is a necessity," said Lawson. "Given complex object relationships in today's databases, a good migration tool is a must!"
Compuware representatives will be on hand at the IDUG conference to work with customers and demonstrate how migration from one DB2 version to another can be more streamlined, cost effective and successful. Customers and others can find Compuware at booth 413.
The extended support for DB2 V9 with DBA-Xpert for DB2 release 6.4 provides a single tool to help DBAs efficiently face the challenges and complexities associated with the migration from one version of DB2 to another. By allowing simultaneous access to multiple DB2 subsystems running different versions and making it easier to respond to multiple requirements within a single session, DBA-Xpert enables DBAs to reduce errors and enjoy smoother, more successful migrations and database modifications. These capabilities are especially important for those looking for an efficient and seamless transition from one version of DB2 to another.
DBA-Xpert 6.4 is a single-product database management tool providing centralized control of database development, maintenance and security in a complex DB2 subsystem environment. It allows database administrators to simultaneously access and administer multiple DB2 systems and versions on separate LPARs from a single DBA-Xpert session.
