QMF for z/OS 11 supports IBM InfoSphere BigInsights via direct access using the BigSQL driver as an alternative to Hive



QMF for z/OS 11 supports Hive data sources… and the underlying Hadoop data



JavaScript calls to http URLs that supply data.

A non-SQL capability: A JavaScript defined table can be created and will reside in the QMF table lists. When queried it will launch a request and return data in a typical result set. This data is available for any QMF report or visualization.

To understand how it works look at this DB2 query. It creates at table, populates it with a select statement, queries the table and then drops the table.



• Data can now be optionally stored with

the query

• Allows dashboards/reports to be

partially or fully driven by

offline/scheduled data sets

• Users can send a snapshot of the

result set and associated report to

others so that they can ‘see it as it was’

or refresh it to ‘see it as it is’

• Available in both QMF for Workstation

and QMF for WebSphere

Dynamarts: Offline data sets
