Last Thursday I had the chance to listened in to Cristian Molaro talk about the z/OS component workload manager (WLM). He discussed how DB2 can take advantage of WLM and how you can manage WLM on the DB2 Night Show .

It’s been laying back waiting for the right moment to pop up again… Continue reading »
