Abstract
IBM® Db2® 13 for z/OS® delivers a host of major new advancements for using, maintaining, and administering this enterprise-critical database platform. In parallel with the development of the IBM z16 hardware and the z/OS 2.5 operating system, Db2 13 leverages the latest transformative innovations on the IBM Z® platform to improve database performance, availability, scalability, reliability, and security. The integration of database artificial intelligence (AI) technology in Db2 13 increases too, which helps you simplify management, improve performance, and easily extract analytical insights from your data by using the SQL API.
This IBM Redbooks® publication describes the many innovations in Db2 13 and the companion products that comprise the Db2 for z/OS ecosystem. The contents of this book will help application developers, database administrators, and solution architects understand the newest capabilities of Db2 for z/OS and related tools and learn how to leverage them to get the greatest value from your database.
In addition, many Db2 12 enhancements are provided in the continuous delivery stream. This publication contains appendixes that describe the most important of the many new features that were delivered after the initial Db2 12 release.
