9:15 to 9:30 - Welcome Coffee
9:30 to 10:30 - Where does Oracle run on iSeries ? Oracle and iSeries?
Two different worlds coming together !! Its true, you can run Oracle database and application products on IBM's eServer iSeries (now System i5). Why would you want to do this? How does this work? What Oracle products are certified to System i5? What are the implications? This session gives an overview of the new relationship between two previously disparate computing paradigms !
10:30 to 10:50 - Coffee break
10:50 to 12:30 - Bridging the gap between Oracle and DB2
Now that you know that Oracle can run on iSeries - how does Oracle 10g differ from DB2 UDB for iSeries? How do I integrate data across those two different database management systems? What if I want to port databases from Oracle to DB2? Can I develop applications that run against Oracle but can support DB2 as well? This session will take you on the next step of the Oracle on iSeries journey!
12:30 to 13:15 - Lunch
13:15 to 14:15 - What an Oracle DBA should know about DB2 on iSeries
Along with your new Oracle acquisition came a new Database Administrator who has never seen an iSeries before and thinks an RPG based database is from another world ! What utilities and functions does this person need to know to manage (or not manage) DB2 UDB for iSeries? What common tooling can they use to work with both DB2 and Oracle ?
14:15 to 14:35 - Coffee break
14:35 to 16:05 - Datawarehousing on iSeries
Our research shows that a significant number of iSeries customers will be embarking on a data warehouse or "Business Intelligence" project in the next 12-18 months. The days of Query/400 providing all the information you need are GONE! In this session we will cover what data warehousing is all about, and what IBM Rochester is providing to support this application type.
