The 2010 IBM Information On Demand conference (IOD) is being held in Las Vegas on October 24-28 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. In conjunction with IOD, the OnDemand User Group is sponsoring our annual OnDemand users group conference on Thursday, Oct. 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Banyan A conference room at the Mandalay Bay South Convention Center.

http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/2010-conference/There is no charge to attend only the ODUG Conference on Thursday. If you wish to attend the ODUG Conference only and not IOD please go to the IOD registration desk located in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center on Thursday morning and explain that you are attending the ODUG meeting in the Banyan A room. You will not be permitted to attend any IOD sessions, only the ODUG session which runs all day anyway.
If you are planning to attend IOD and/or ODUG please REPLY TO THIS EMAIL and let us know if you are attending IOD and ODUG or ODUG only.
The board would like to draw special attention to the OnDemand specific sessions slotted for IOD attendees this year, as well as those for ODUG. Users and board members have been vocal and persistent on restoring the level of CMOD content available during the conference, and we feel we've accomplished that goal. We hope that continued feedback and customer participation will continue to add content to the session options.
On this year's list of sessions for IOD:
- Best practices for CMOD z/OS implementation
- Best practices for java API monitoring, alerting, and retrieval of AFP documents
- Top ways to improve FileNet P8, CM8, and CMOD performance
- Leveraging CMOD
- A mountain to migrate- a CMOD v2 to CMOD v8 experience.
ODUG sessions include:
- OnDemand Product update
- Best practices for migrations to or from CMOD
- Migration of an AIX library server to an existing z/OS library server
- Enhancement discussion
- Upgrade and back again- a versioning exercise
- z/OS CMOD internals- a look under the covers
- DB2 performance tuning for an LUW instance using self-tuning Memory Manager
- Changing retention of documents in a CMOD repository
- Issues round table discussion
- Bird of a feather session as determined by issues roundtable
Enhancement requests will not be received or presented at the ODUG event this year. Please enter any enhancements you may have on the ODUG Forum in the appropriate section. Please be as specific as possible in the text for the enhancement. It would be a good idea to provide contact information in case there are questions regarding your enhancement.
Voting on the enhancements will begin immediately after IOD on Nov. 1st and ending Nov. 30th. The enhancements will then be collected and presented to IBM for consideration.
Sincerely,
Benny N. Ormson
