Re: Question about UDB on iSeries

There are third parties that sell additional products like:
performance adjusters
prettier performance monitors
reorg utilities

I've gotten by without any of them.  Especially since V5R3 has changed 
reorg to allow you to reorg while the file was active.  But not all the 
vendors have declared bankruptcy so some people must be buying them (or 
they're living off of their day job).

Question about UDB on iSeries






Please keep in mind that I know **ZERO** about the iSeries and UDB. We are 
considering a conversion from z/OS on zSeries to i5OS on iSeries. The 
company doing the presentation basically said that everything that we 
need, with a few exceptions, is integrated into the i5OS on the iSeries. 
In particular UBD is integrated (so we don't need to buy it). But I was 
wondering if any iSeries people out there have an opinion about the lack 
of requirement for any extra software to support UDB on iSeries. Such as 
performance monitors, reorganization utilities, anything at all? I'm 
confused (as usual) about why UDB on iSeries does not require any such 
software while it appears, to me, that DB2 on z/OS really requires a lot 
of extra cost software. This is the whole reason that we are considering 
this conversion. z/OS simply requires too much extra cost software 
compared to other platforms.
