# How to Modernize Mainframe Batch Jobs (3 of 3)

There are some other ways you can modernize batch process in mainframe. The following are the two options.

[What are those](https://srinimf.com/2022/01/23/two-types-of-plsql-cursors-what-are-those/)…

**1. Creating Agile information management architecture.**

- gaining confidence by creating clean, standardized, and organized data
- redesigning ETL process
- Processing data for ETL process through Batch work load, will become complex task

Improvement in ETL process:

**2. Optimizing DB2 Access**

When accessing DB2 tables with static SQL, a PLAN is created and this PLAN has several options you can configure. Making the right decisions is important.

- Running DB2 utilities frequently keeps [DB2 database](https://srinimf.com/2015/09/22/how-system-failure-and-server-failure-handles-in-db2/)s “lean” and fast.
- Configuring DB2 system parameters can greatly influence performance and parallel processing with the database.
- Choosing the correct checkpoint frequency and commit scope should be a key aspect in any DB2 application design.
- When using Java, additional design and configuration decisions have to be made. The Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) drivers have additional configuration options.
