Lunch & Learn: Db2 13 for z/OS – From GA to Today 
Generally available for over 3 years, Db2 13 for z/OS continues to deliver new capabilities, with 73% (and growing) of the capabilities being delivered in the continuous delivery stream. Meanwhile, Db2 12 for z/OS end-of-support is announced and only a few months away. If you have not started your migration to Db2 13, now is the time to begin. We will review the key components of that planning. If you already use Db2 13, chances are there is even more value to gain from this version.

Lunch & Learn: Simplify Mainframe Operations: OMEGAMON & Grafana 
IBM has introduced a significant enhancement to the IBM OMEGAMON family. Designed to modernize, streamline, and integrate mainframe performance monitoring powered by Grafana.

This session provides a technical dive into the new UI architecture. We will show how Grafana dashboards deliver high-level enterprise views with seamless drill-down capabilities into subsystem metrics—z/OS, CICS, Db2, and more. Attendees will learn how to leverage this unified observability layer to identify performance anomalies faster, correlate data across domains, and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR). Discover how this evolution aligns mainframe monitoring with open standards and modern IT workflows, enhancing the efficiency and accessibility of operational insights across both traditional and hybrid cloud environments.
