The purpose of this thread was not to compare the merits and features of Oracle vs. DB2. The decision has already made that the Oracle shop will have to support at least one DB2 application. The issue is how much training is required for the Oracle DBA's to do this.

Since the application is already completed it is reasonable to assume that it was tuned by the vendor who wrote it. What you call "instrumentation" is therefore not really necessary in this case. Since you claim that DB2 for LUW does not have instrumentation, I don't understand why it was even mentioned, since the Oracle DBA's clearly don't have to learn about something in DB2 that does not exist.
