Book Description

This IBM Redbooks publication addresses the challenges posed by monitoring high availability, scalability, and performance in an SAP sysplex data sharing environment. It introduces the motivations for utilizing a design based on DB2 data sharing. It includes the principal SAP-DB2 data sharing architecture options and trade-offs used in the industry today and issues that play a role in both high availability and scalability, such as failover design, database connectivity design, workload splitting and load balancing, MCOD, and coupling facility design. The book discusses single point of failure, important failover scenarios and outage avoidance, automation of high availability constructs, and backup and recovery considerations in data sharing environments. Performance issues are detailed in the order you would approach them at planning and implementation time. First, it discusses tuning the sysplex, which is the base for a well-performing DB2 data sharing system, then tuning the DB2 data sharing system, which is the base for a well-performing SAP system, and finally, tuning the SAP system. The book focuses on initial planning for performance and monitoring it afterward, and explains the key points to look for to health-check your system and maintain high performance.

Book Description

BLU Acceleration is a new technology that has been developed by IBM® and integrated directly into the IBM DB2® engine. BLU Acceleration is a new storage engine along with integrated run time (directly into the core DB2 engine) to support the storage and analysis of column-organized tables. The BLU Acceleration processing is parallel to the regular, row-based table processing found in the DB2 engine. This is not a bolt-on technology nor is it a separate analytic engine that sits outside of DB2. Much like when IBM added XML data as a first class object within the database along with all the storage and processing enhancements that came with XML, now IBM has added column-organized tables directly into the storage and processing engine of DB2. This IBM Redbooks® publication shows examples on an IBM Power SystemsTM entry server as a starter configuration for small organizations, and build larger configurations with IBM Power Systems larger servers. This publication takes you through how to build a BLU Acceleration solution on IBM POWER® having SAP Landscape integrated to it. This publication implements SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse Systems as part of the scenario using another DB2 Feature called Near-Line Storage (NLS), on IBM POWER virtualization features to develop and document best recommendation scenarios. This publication is targeted towards technical professionals (DBAs, data architects, consultants, technical support staff, and IT specialists) responsible for delivering cost-effective data management solutions to provide the best system configuration for their clients' data analytics on Power Systems.

Book Description

SAP is a leading ERP vendor, with a large install base. A key element in their product set is the SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW). The primary objective of this IBM Redbooks publication is to provide guidelines to help you implement your SAP Business Information Warehouse on DB2 UDB ESE. Two major considerations when building a business information warehouse are scalability and performance. In this book, we have demonstrated the wide range of scalability of BW when implemented on DB2, while maintaining the performance requirements that are so critical. The parallelism and data partitioning capabilities of DB2 Universal Database ESE, enables a robust, highly scalable, and high performance business information warehouse. For a common understanding, we first discuss the concepts of data warehousing and then describe the SAP architecture and robust component capabilities of the SAP business information warehouse. To help in your implementation, we provide guidelines for how to configure SAP BW when it is built on DB2. We also describe and discuss the key capabilities and parameters to help you get the best from DB2. Key topics such as sizing, partitioning, performance tuning, and systems administration, are discussed to assist in the implementation and maintenance of your system. This book will help enable you to more quickly and easily implement a robust SAP BW on DB2 UDB ESE.
