Managing the DB2 mainframe environment can be a challenging process that requires a lot of scripting, repetitive steps, recurring tasks and specialized expertise. Database administrators have to remember complex scripting syntax and it's easy to make errors which can result in application failure or possible data loss when administering and managing the mainframe. Plus, as the database environment continues to grow and change, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn and teach the unique aspects of the mainframe database environment.
With Toad for DB2 z/OS Database Administration, DBAs of all skill levels can now easily tackle, administer and centrally manage DB2 objects, settings and permissions. They can leverage a single toolkit for catalog reporting, object management, creating and debugging stored procedures, and tuning SQL. Plus, they can perform complex tasks associated with migration and synchronization of database objects across their DB2 environments. The result is improved productivity, simplified object management and shortened change cycles.
In addition, DBAs can easily validate and address security issues with scripts that run simultaneously against multiple DB2 databases.
