Add support for GRANT ROLE to AUTHID.

In DB2 for z/OS I am allowed to CREATE ROLE, GRANT priviledges to ROLE but I can't GRANT that role to a USERID. Seems something is broke to me. What are ROLES good for if I can't assign a user or group of users to that role.

Change how the indoubt thread display works

Right now, if you are looking at the 3270UI display the field for indoubt threads shows the count of all indoubt threads since DB2 has been started. This is a distraction as it shows there are indoubt threads when they have already been resolved. ...

ALLOW (SOME) UTILITIES TO OPERATE ON TABLESPACE TABLE NAME

I would like it to be easier for developers or other end-users to more easily use some basic Db2 utilities. For example, RUNSTATS or RECOVER with redirected recover functionality. But any utility that only operates on tablespace today, consider al...

Do not start jobs with less than X cores per host

It is useful for when ptiles or slots do not fulfill your needs. Using an example, we have an MPI code that requests 100 cores. We don't tell LSF how to grab those cores, and sometimes it will go out and span across 12 nodes, taking 19 cores on on...

RESTORE DOESN'T PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL TABLESPACE LAYOUT LIKE THE SOURCE

We run into a problem with DB2 restore taking more than one day. SAP created 'Special Build 40602' which preserves the original Tablespace layout. See IBM ticket TS003864545 This 'Special Build' was supposed to be integrated with DB2 version 12, n...

Support for CREATE INDEX DEFER YES DEFINE NO would be very usefull for Spaces with a 'high' number of partitions to avoid timeouts on SYSTSTAB.

When using "CREATE INDEX DEFER YES DEFINE NO", "DEFINE NO" is ignored with SQLCODE 20122 and the VSAM Clusters are created anyway. Doing this for a partitioned index on a partitioned table with lots of partitions (400+) the runtime of CREATE INDEX...
