Application Modernization: DB2 Style
As developers modernize their System i solutions, it's easy to focus on application development languages and tools. However, there are many DB2 for i5/ OS features, such as DB2 web services, that can play a key role in modernizing the architecture of your solution. Database modernization can range from utilizing existing System i programs as stored procedures to embedding business logic into your database with the usage of triggers and databases. Migrating from native, record-level access to SQL-based data access is another way to modernize from a DB2 perspective. In this session, you will learn about the DB2 features available to help with the modernization of your solution as well as a comparison of SQL and Native interfaces.
