Learn how to use DB2 as the back-end Domino database store. This course is designed for someone who has no knowledge of DB2 and includes the basics of administering DB2 and DB2 security. You will learn how to install DB2, set configuration parameters for DB2 instances and databases and how to back up and recover DB2 databases. Next, learn how Domino works with DB2 and how to install and configure a Domino 8 server to store databases on a DB2 server. Finally, learn how to create new types of applications that integrate Domino with DB2 by using DB2 Access Views and Query Views and allow Domino applications access to other DB2 databases (federated data.) This course is a great foundation to start using DB2 with Domino 8.
