High Availability Considerations: SAP R/3 on DB2 for OS
This redbook will help systems administrators, database administrators, managers, and operations staff to plan, install, and administer the usage of SAP R/3 with DB2 for OS/390 as the database management system on the SAP R/3 Database Server. It is designed to address the issues of high availability in that environment. It is one in a series of redbooks about such an environment.
High availability and continuous availability are key concerns of large customers who depend on their SAP R/3 system. Indeed, the availability built into SAP software is an important reason for customers to choose this as a basis for their business operations. DB2, S/390 hardware, and the OS/390 operating system now have built-in features that enable customers to optimize availability.
In this redbook, we also address the impact of failure in components related to the database server and application servers. We describe the techniques used to eliminate single points of failure and to minimize the impact of failures for unplanned outages. We also describe how to maintain availability during planned outages (those situations when a component will not be available due to maintenance or re-configuration activities.

Enterprise Business Portals II with IBM Tivoli Access Manager
Mastering IBM Tivoli Access Manager is a very important factor in successfully deploying contemporary e-business solutions. Access Manager is the key element in an e-business security framework that needs thorough understanding to achieve maximum security, functionality, and performance. Based on expandable security policies for users, groups, and protected resources, Tivoli Access Manager manages authentication and authorization for application servers, Web sites, and virtually any other resource that requires protection, including custom-written applications.
This IBM Redbook describes how to build an integrated enterprise business portal with Tivoli Access Manager Version 4.1, WebSphere Portal, mySAP Workplace, and the SAP Enterprise Portal. It also describes how to implement a federated single sign-on solution within a Web Services scenario. This redbook is partitioned into general and customer scenario based sections.
This redbook is a valuable resource for security administrators and architects who wish to understand and implement a centralized security infrastructure.
End-to-End Scheduling with OPC and TWS Mainframe and Distributed Environments
Tivoli OPC and Tivoli Workload Scheduler (formerly Maestro) are the two scheduling engines that make up Tivoli's integrated solution for enterprise scheduling. Tivoli OPC has a firm share of the mainframe scheduling market, and TWS is the scheduler of choice for distributed environments. Tivoli has now made available the Job Scheduling Console, addressing the end-to-end scheduling requirements that are central to multi-platform environments. Tivoli OPC 2.3 and Tivoli Workload Scheduler 7.0 can now be managed from this common graphical user interface, creating a best-of-breed cross-platform scheduling solution.
This IBM Redbook provides step-by-step setup instructions, as well as detailed troubleshooting guidelines for implementing OPC, TWS, and the Job Scheduling Console. It covers the most important features of both engines and provides illustrative practical usage scenarios, including exploitation of the new common GUI, installation and usage of Extended Agents, and advice on implementing high-availability environments. Users migrating from previous releases will find the migration checklists and the terminology translation tables extremely valuable.
This book is based on OPC 2.3 and TWS 7.0 and will be usefulto those customers who are working to integrate OPC and TWS, as well as those working with OPC or TWS alone.
DB2 UDB for z/OS V8: Through the Looking Glass and What SAP Found There
DB2 UDB for z/OS Version 8 (DB2 V8) introduces a large number of new features that provide for unmatched scalability, availability, performance, and manageability to reliably handle any information needed in SAP solutions. The objective of this IBM Redbook is to identify the new features of DB2 V8 that are particularly beneficial to SAP and to describe how SAP applications can take advantage of these new features. While some of these features can be exploited transparently by the currently available versions of DB2, for some others the next technological release of SAP will be required. The redbook introduces the new features and provides real-life examples from SAP to demonstrate the usefulness of the new features for SAP and to show how SAP can exploit them.
The considerations within this redbook apply to the whole spectrum of business solutions within the mySAP Business Suite, such as mySAP ERP and mySAP Supply Chain Management. These solutions share the common technical application platform SAP NetWeaver that includes the SAP Web Application Server and SAP Business Information Warehouse.
While this redbook specifically investigates the new features of DB2 V8 in the context of SAP, the majority of the considerations also apply to other enterprise packaged applications. The reason for this it that from a database management perspective, these applications have many similarities, such as a strong usage of dynamic SQL and a large number of database objects. For a more general description of the new features of DB2 V8, see DB2 UDB for z/OS Version 8: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know , ... and More, SG24-6079.
DB2 Packages: Implementation and Use
This document is a comprehensive guide to the package function brought by DB2 V2.3. It considers both the distributed and nondistributed environments. It provides a detailed explanation of the BIND PACKAGE function, including the use of collections and versioning, recommendations on how to implement packages, and discussion of the related performance issues.
The document also provides working examples on possible package management solutions.This document is intended for customers and technical professionals who need to know how to take advantage of the new package function and to administer packages. A knowledge of DB2 V2.3, DB2 V3, and Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) connectivity is assumed.
Database Administration Experiences: SAP R/3 on DB2 for OS/390
The objective of this redbook is to relate our experiences in performing database administration in an environment where the database server of SAP R/3 Release 4.5A is DB2 for OS/390. We used DB2 for OS/390 Release 5.1; this redbook does contain some preliminary information about Release 6. OS/390 Release 2.6 was the operating system on our S/390. The areas documented show the practicality of that environment; that is, how these products deliver a modern reliable processing system, with real value to an enterprise.
All the subjects covered by this redbook deal with database administration. We include common commands an administrator will probably need to use, then include those commands in functions necessary in an SAP R/3 installation. Those functions include backup/restore, reorganization, and handling growth. There is some performance and tuning information, but it is related to the reports and commands that would be used.
This redbook is especially useful for database administrators who need to perform the tasks that are the heart of the solution environment. Those database administrators who are familiar with other database servers commonly used with SAP R/3 will find this book valuable in determining which functions are done differently when using this solution. This book is also of value to consultants and systems administrators who must understand the environment and the means of providing the benefits of that environment.
An understanding of SAP R/3 is assumed, as well as some knowledge of DB2 and how it functions; the book is meant to supplement the information from the standard document libraries of SAP R/3, DB2 for OS/390, OS/390, and AIX.
