The sophisticated algorithms of iDBA-Online combine your SLAs, your business constraints, and a cost-benefit analysis to establish in real-time the optimum maintenance schedule. The maintenance utilities are executed automatically to ensure your SLA compliance and assure that every single operation has a positive ROI for the overall system.

This innovative tool ensures your database operations are not only efficient but also cost-effective, aligning perfectly with your business goals and SLAs.

Harness the Power of AI for Db2 Maintenance with iDBA-Online

iDBA-Online utilises sophisticated AI algorithms to automate essential maintenance tasks such as database backups, updating statistics, and reorganising tables and indexes. By integrating your Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and business constraints with a real-time cost-benefit analysis, iDBA-Online determines the optimal maintenance schedule, ensuring every operation delivers a positive return on investment (ROI).

Key Benefits of iDBA-Online

• Reduce Db2 Maintenance Costs: By automating maintenance tasks and scheduling them based on a cost-benefit analysis, iDBA-Online helps you significantly reduce your maintenance expenses.
• Ensure ROI for Maintenance Operations: Every maintenance task is evaluated for its ROI, ensuring that only beneficial operations are performed, thus maximising the efficiency of your Db2 environment.
• Automate Utility Tasks with Smart Pilot: iDBA-Online automates routine maintenance tasks, freeing up your DBAs to focus on more strategic initiatives.
• Simplify Db2 Administration: With a centralised interface, managing your Db2 maintenance becomes straightforward and hassle-free.

Intelligent Maintenance Planning

iDBA-Online’s AI-driven approach ensures that maintenance tasks are performed only, when necessary, based on a comprehensive analysis of your Db2 environment. This smart planning avoids unnecessary maintenance, minimises system resource usage, and ensures your database is always optimised for peak performance.

Enforce your business SLAs

The iDBA – Online’s automation decisions consider the business rules and SLAs defined by your users. A centralized interface allows SLAs to define groups of objects, and the set of rules associated with each group. This ensures that critical database objects, those vital to business, get priority in maintenance and optimisation tasks.

For each group, the rules are generally set as follows:

Data Availability: When the data should be accessible.

Forbidden Periods: The duration or time when maintenance or changes shouldn’t occur (e.g., during peak usage).

Backup Strategies: How and when backups should be performed.

The business value of an application can be set to prioritise Db2 objects that are critical for business.

Smart Pilot for Db2 Utilities

iDBA – Online manages the execution of Db2 utilities without needing manual JCL creation. It makes real-time decisions for database maintenance without requiring manual JCL creation.

Also, iDBA-Online handles parallelism management and selects the appropriate execution mode, either online or offline.

iDBA-Online supports various utilities, which include:

• Online and offline reorganization.
• Synchronous and asynchronous backups.
• Data load and unload operations.
• Updating Db2 catalogue statistics.

Optimise Resources and Maximise Efficiency

iDBA-Online’s cost-driven strategy not only reduces maintenance costs but also optimises the use of system resources. By performing maintenance tasks that have a positive ROI, the tool helps you manage larger workloads efficiently and effectively. iDBA-Online uses AI and machine learning to automate maintenance tasks, thereby maximising efficiency. Similarly, it can optimise resource utilisation by analysing database workloads and managing resource allocation accordingly.

Conclusion

Incorporating iDBA-Online into your Db2 maintenance strategy can transform the way you manage your databases. By using AI to automate and optimise maintenance tasks, you can ensure your Db2 environment is always running at its best while also reducing costs and improving ROI. Embrace the future of Db2 maintenance with iDBA-Online and experience the benefits of intelligent, automated database management.
