INPLACE REORG should always be interruptible

Under certain circumstances it is not possible to stop/pause or force an INPLACE REORG that waits for a lock (TS019866410). Because the INPLACE REORG does not respect lock timeouts, it hangs in "lock wait" until the lock holding session releases t...

Automation Tool incorrectly building RUNSTAT jobs when TS has NPSI being RUNSTAT

Unfortunately the product has been generating jobs incorrectly from the getgo for RUNSTATS. When using load balancing across 20 jobs, the partitions should be spread across the 20 jobs. This works when the NPSI is not having RUNSTATS. When the NPS...

over 2 years ago in Db2 Automation Tool for z/OS 2 Functionality already exists

For RPN TS, each partition reorged need a separate IC tape drive, need a way to limit the number of tape drives per iteration of REORG for the IC

If 65 partitions of a RPN with NPSIs are being reorg at the same time, 65 IC tape drives would be required. That is excessive and probably all shops can't support that. Even when no NPSIs, this would be a problem. HAA generates LISTPARTS 4096 when...

HAA - RUNSTATS grouping all NPSI partitions into one job instead of spreading the objects across multiple jobs

Running RUNSTATS on TS with NPSIs. All partitions were put into the same job instead of being spread across the 20 jobs. This is true for Reorg, but not RUNSTATS.
