Broadcom has announced the first release of CenterStageTM for Database Management, a leading-edge web interface designed to aid new administrators in quickly learning to manage Db2 for z/OS subsystems. This innovative platform is tailored for database administrators (DBAs), making it easier than ever to understand your Db2 catalog, run commands, and much more.
For application developers working with Db2 for z/OS, the new Code4z Database Management for Db2 z/OS (DBM-Db2) extension is available in the VS Code marketplace. Designed to streamline the management of schema changes alongside application updates, this powerful program integrates seamlessly with Code4z, allowing developers to work with Db2 objects and applications—all within the same VS Code IDE. Empower your developers to innovate, while still giving DBAs oversight into Db2 schema changes.
Key Features of CenterStage and Code4z DBM-Db2 Extension
- User-Friendly Interface. CenterStage provides an intuitive web interface to Db2 for z/OS that feels familiar to new DBAs. With simplified catalog navigation and a best-in-class workspace for executing Db2 commands and SQL, even those new to the platform can quickly become proficient.
- Execute DDL and HDDL. CenterStage enables DBAs to generate and execute both DDL and HDDL. This allows DBAs to define Db2 relational schema changes and to implement described changes against the subsystem.
- Manage Db2 Schema Changes from Code4z. The Code4z DBM-Db2 extension provides developers with the ability to self-provision Db2 objects, make object changes to support application requirements, and deploy those changes to a test environment all within their Code4z environment. This integration minimizes disruptions to the developer and enhances productivity.
