Toine Michielse – Manager Client Services, Broadcom
Abstract
Managing distributed connections to Db2 and preventing rogue threads from causing issues has become a significant challenge for DBAs. Join this session to learn how to use profile tables to effectively monitor distributed threads and take proactive measures to mitigate the impact of potential threats. Additionally, we will explore an innovative customer application of profiles that controls JDBC connections and redirects specific connections to the appropriate drivers.
Speaker Bio
I have been working with Db2 for z/OS ever since V1. In my career I have worked as COBOL/IMS/DB2 programmer, IMS/DB2 DBA and DB2 system engineer. I have worked a number of years as a Db2 Lab advocate, supporting IBM customers worldwide.
Before joining Broadcom I worked at SwissRe. Besides my function as their lead mainframe Architect I also managed the Mainframe Capacity team as well as team of Db2 specialists providing education and consultancy to SwissRe development units.
At Broadcom I manage one of the two Client Services Consultants teams in EMEA, focussing on Data Management, DevOps and Security. I am also proud to be an IBM Champion since 2022.
When I am not working I enjoy paragliding and I play drums in a rock band.
