Compuware helps IT organisations save time and money with simplified database administration

Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) has announced the release of version 6.4 of its powerful DB2 administration workbench, Compuware DBA-Xpert for DB2. This tool helps database administrators automate the migration from one version of DB2 to another--saving labour, time and money

''Compuware is committed to helping our customers achieve economic value from their investments in technology,'' said Rose Rowe, Compuware Vice President of Mainframe Solutions. ''By automating what would otherwise be very complex and labour intensive activities, DBA-Xpert for DB2 saves our customers both time and money.''

The extended support for DB2 V9 with DBA-Xpert for DB2 release 6.4 provides a single tool to help Database Administrators efficiently face the challenges and complexities associated with the migration from one version of DB2 to another. By allowing simultaneous access to multiple DB2 subsystems running different versions and making it easier to respond to multiple requirements within a single session, DBA-Xpert enables DBAs to reduce errors and enjoy smoother, more successful migrations and database modifications. These capabilities are especially important for those looking for an efficient and seamless transition from one version of DB2 to another.

DBA-Xpert 6.4 is a single-product database management tool providing centralised control of database development, maintenance and security in a complex DB2 subsystem environment. It allows database administrators to simultaneously access and administer multiple DB2 systems and versions on separate LPARs from a single DBA-Xpert session.
