DSXchange

I have read the white papers at dsxchange.net and found them to be good. There have been no aditions to the existing list since long, i wish if we could have more of them.

To those who have documented the existing ones- Thanks a lot.

Would you (anyone out there) care to suggest topics of interest?

How about on other tools like which are coming with the IS suite

Metadata work bench
Fasttrack
Discovery
BluePrint

Don't really think so - there's already heaps of collateral on these on IBM's web site. (Except maybe Blueprint Director.)

Any document which describes how repository is handled in 8.x version. A high level view of XMETA and the difference between the earlier version where DS_JOBS, DS_JOBOBJECTS etc were used considering the point that we don't intervene with the intellectual property of IBM

One of the reasons that the white papers faded a bit was that DSXchange obtained technology that enabled webinars and training DVDs to be created. Would you prefer one of these formats?

Webinars / Training DVD's are very good kind of media but a document has always an advantage that it can be preserved/printed and referred at anytime.

Well, I'd recommend looking at the popular topics on DSX and write a paper on them. External Audit tables comes to mind and the various ways to populate it. We're planning to do an IOD presentation on it.

How to secure your DS environment...

How to admin a large environment...

etc...

I like this idea.

sometimes we might get unlucky with the topics we are searching for.
I would love to read some white paper like that.
