IBM Db2 Warehouse Room for Improvement

KD
Data Governance at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years. It's traced back to something that changed on Tivoli Storage Management.

The biggest challenge anyone could have with Db2 Warehouse is their references or online resources and documentation. They are very, very, very limited on the web. I don't know why. We are an IBM golden partner, so they support us with sessions regarding best practices for the solution. However, if a company is not a golden partner to IBM and wants to develop a solution including Db2 Warehouse, they will certainly have complications or limitations. If the community was bigger, it would benefit IBM and developers like me.

The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting.

The biggest problem here, and it's not just with IBM, is always the lack of documentation and particularly in Spanish.

So far, the solution is not lacking any features.

It does require knowledge of data management. There is documentation, however, to make the most out of it, you need someone on-side to work closely with the solution.

There should be more material available for training and training should be free.

Ingeniero de Software with 1,001-5,000 employees

One of the main problems was the publication of the packages, where if you wanted to modify a publication, it was renamed. The other problem is that when you want to generate a copy of the job, you had to redo the mapping between the source and destination.
