RE: V5R4 presentation at PMSA (Seattle area LUG)

We have Doug Mack from IBM coming to our Seattle area LUG Feb 9th
meeting (PMSA - Pacific Midrange Systems Association -

enhancements in V5R4.

Description: I know, you're just getting used to V5R3 and here we come
with
V5R4 already!

But there is some good stuff here related to DB2 - including autonomic
indexing (what the heck is that?), On Demand Performance Center, and
other goodies to share with you.

The LUG would be the place to start.  In the hour or two that most LUG's

have for meetings, all that they can do is give an overview of what's
new.


COMMON, though, already has sessions scheduled specific to V5R4, such as

CL enhancements and iSeries Navigator.  Plus the best part is that 
there'll be folks there that know v5r4 (developers) and early migrators 
(both beta and fish food).


I thought I read somewhere, Joel, that the Charlotte LUG died.  Is there

a resurgence?  If not, having lived in Charlotte for several years, my 
best guess is that Atlanta would be the closest for you.  Unless 
Wilmington has one (been there, done that, survived).  Oh, almost forgot

about Triad in Greensboro.  They always have a good show; at least the 
times I went there.
