DB2 11 for z/OS features the ability to expand the RBA and LRSN from 6 to 10 bytes.  This feature is one of the biggest reasons that shops are migrating to DB2 11.  This presentation will outline some of the challenges and get you ready to take on this migration soon after you reach DB2 11 New Function Mode.

Exploring new fields is not always about being the first, but all about sharing the experience. GSE is proud that we found a few ‘explorers’ to talk about their DB2 11 for z/OS migration experiences. They will explain the roadmap they followed to get there, illustrated with some first discoveries and even a few war stories.   
During this meeting we have presenters from both Euroclear and Colruyt that will be talking about their migration path to DB2 11 and their first experiences with this late

Database as a service will be the future of DBMS processing. There are a very robust set of database features available on DB2 for z/OS. There are a lot of good reasons to utilize these features, and many of those reasons have to do with performance. Most of the features discussed here can be utilized to save processing time and CPU cost. We'll discuss the advantages of database enforced referential integrity and constraint enforcement, stored procedures, triggers, UDFs, temporal and archive tab
