It's not the Db2 LUW, which is Linux, Unix, Windows. It's the mainframe. It's the active-active, high availability environment that we need for the aggressive SLAs that we've got here in Saudi Arabia.

In my current project, where we're taking information from an old IBM mainframe and using Db2 to convert those checkups into GRP (Government resource planning solution).
We have a transaction server, Db2, that already exists in one place. We have our own solution using Oracle. So, from this transaction, we're taking information from Db2. We're running about the engine, that is, the various queries. And they're taking the information into our Oracle server. That's the way we're cleaning and fine-tuning the information taken from one system to our system. And that system is Db2.
We are using our own developed workflow management system. We're working mainly for IMF and World Bank with Asian Development Bank. Based on the aids, they're giving in that particular workflow, we define the process needed for any country receiving aid.
We provide the solution to any government's finance department in any country. So, in team mode, they previously had the IBM solution. We're using our GRP solution, which is a public finance government resource planning solution. We need to use the existing system. On top of that, we're providing the vendors and information to the public regarding the aid they're getting from that department.
So it's like a combination of solutions using various components to provide the solution in GRP from the existing IBM solution.

The solution is running on top of IBM I proprietary hardware/software. It shows great stability. DB2 has improved the way our organization functions because we do not have to tune it. There is an autotuning function integrated into the OS, which is useful. On other databases, there is a need to do tunning from time to time.

The primary use for our Db2 database is for OLAP (Online Analytical Processing). Our department is using it for data warehousing and data analysis.
We are deploying some of our enterprise systems to Azure. We would like to migrate data there and most of the systems will be running on the infrastructure as a service, so we will have lots of servers. Migrating data from Db2 becomes an important matter.
Our target currently is to create the infrastructure which would include the servers, the backup solutions, the databases, application servers and whatever else we need.

We are not using this with other users, it is dedicated to our backup solution.
We only have one instance, one user, one service, and we don't have any other users or clients that we connect to.
A database system is a tool used for reporting and to monitor if it is running or if there are any issues. We can set alarms and warnings. It is a backup system that manages the backup.
