NODE is a non-profit group of DBMS professionals who meet several times a year in the Portland area to discuss various aspects of IBM's DB2 family of data management software.
For many years, NODE has provided and continues to provide a free forum for exchanging knowledge about DB2, both on the mainframe and on LUW platforms. Membership in NODE is open to the public and free of charge; the only requirement is a desire to learn or to share your knowledge with others. NODE meetings typically take place in the Portland metropolitan area (specific locations vary), last for three to four hours, and feature two or three technical presentations that are relevant to DB2 administrators, database application programmers, or data modelers.
NODE meetings are coordinated by Fred Sobotka of FRS Consulting, Cathy Taddei of PacifiCorp,and Catalin Comsia of IBM.

What:Best Practices for Workload Manager
Presentation Abstract:
This session provides a step-by-step approach to creating a complete workload management solution for your enterprise. Learn how you can employ best practices on your IBM DB2® 9.5 data server in order to meet business objectives according to their importance and priority. The best practices presented here use the new DB2 Workload Manager (WLM) introduced in Version 9.5. We will show a general methodology that you can use to achieve real-time resource management, work prioritization, system overload protection and enhanced real-time monitoring of work running on your data server.
This organization operates as a regional chapter of the International DB2 Users Group (IDUG) and adheres to its mission and bylaws. If you use DB2 and are not already a member of IDUG, we highly recommend you join and enjoy the benefits of being a part of the world's largest and most active DB2 user community.
NODE is actively seeking presenters for future meetings. Presentations can be anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour in length and should cover some aspect of DB2 or data management. NODE members are strongly encouraged to deliver presentations that share their knowledge of DB2 and related topics. If you are a NODE member or a DB2 expert who will be in the Portland metropolitan area in the near future, NODE would like to hear from you about your presentation.
