Did you know that there are new functions and capabilities being added to CA Datacom products all the time? Some of these features might help improve your processing, others might help with database management, and others might allow you to do things you didn't even know you wanted to do!

Here is a listing of videos from July 2017 onward that are available in the CA Datacom CADRE Community today. In addition, there are many more that may interest you in the CADRE Community Video listing. I hope you find one or two that will help you!

Title (with Hyperlink)	Abstract
CA Datacom: Table Move 24 by 7	A new CA Datacom facility can reorganize the tables in a data area into a new dataset without an outage. If there is no maintenance to the tables during the facility's execution, the rows in the data tables will be in pristine native key sequence when complete.

CA Datacom Block Size Alter 24 by 7 (BA24)	A new CA Datacom facility allows a user to modify an existing database data area to use a different block size without closing the database. Besides changing the block size, if there is no maintenance during execution of this new facility, the data will be in pristine native key sequence when it completes.

Mobile Access to CA Datacom	This session will explore some of the benefits of using RESTful APIs with CA Datacom, how such an API might be done and a demo of an example API and phone app.

CA Development Environment for z and zOSMF	This session is a live demo made up of two parts. The first session will be on CA Development Environment for z Systems (CA DEz), a dashboard example and plug-ins. The second session will provide a demo of zOSMF for configuration and installation of a CA Datacom Version 15.1 environment in a few steps. zOSMF will be the replacement for the current CA Chorus Software Manager.

Application Tuning for CA Datacom Environments Part1 Part2 Part3	There are three videos in this topic that describe the various techniques used to tune a CA Datacom application for the best possible performance. Included will be discussions on available monitoring tools. These sessions were primarily focused on the application developer who is writing applications for the CA Datacom®/DB database.

Data Compression Options with CA Datacom Presspack	Ever wondered what your savings might be if you used data compression with your CA Datacom®/DB database? Maybe you were afraid to take the time to compress only to have to undo your work? Maybe you didn't want to buy a compression product only to discover it was going to eat up the intended savings in I/O costs? What if you could get a report that SHOWS you the compression savings BEFORE you actually run compression? Watch our new video, CA Datacom® Presspack: Compression Options to learn how to get that report!

Top 5 Reasons to be on CA Datacom 15.1	A Datacom Version 15.1 customer, Clyde McPherson of US Customs and Border Protection, shares his perspective on some of the most valuable new features delivered in Version 15.1. (Thanks, Clyde!)

Understanding the Simplified Upgrade Process to Version 15.x	CA Datacom Version 15.1 provides a variety of installation methods, the standard new installation, and three upgrade installation paths. The path can be chosen according to your specific needs. An overview of these installation methods is covered in this session, along with details about their specific attributes. The material's focus is on upgrading from Version 14.x directly to Version 15.1. The upgrade from Version 14.x to 15.0 can be bypassed.

What's New in CA Datacom 15.0/15.1?	CA Datacom V15.0 and V15.1 deliver several key new enhancements for the CA Datacom user. This webcast replay highlights some of these enhancements.
