2.1.3  Education

DB2 UDB provides an easy to use feature rich environment. It is important that 

those individuals involved in the migration be appropriately trained, so that the 

full advantages of those features are realized.

There is a lot of training material available like self studying guides and 

redbooks. IBM also offers a variety of DB2 courses; a very useful one is the 

course for experienced database administrators that are new to DB2 UDB.

For further information regarding DB2 UDB training, please visit the DB2 Web

2.2  Application assessment

An application assessment is the first step in the migration planning. The 

assessment will help you understand the scope of the migration project and 

prepare the detail migration project plan to design the target system.
