    It would be really helpful for WXCA4Z to be able to ingest Assembler language code and be able to explain it. It would also be helpful to be able to transform assembler to Metal C and COBOL code to C/C++.

    While we run some JAVA code, most of our code is COBOL code that is optimized for the z15 and above. We don't really want to convert that code to JAVA, but would love to convert it to C/C++. Also, as us old-time assembler coders retire, we need a ...

    Add STMT_HASHID2 in IFCID 316

    Can you add STMT_HASHID2 (referred in DSN_STATEMENT_CACHE_TABLE) field to the IFCID 316 record? It would be very handy in identifying normalized SQL statement text(s).

    Enable discard reorganizations on catalog history tables.

    Enabling historization for certain catalog tables can result in very large tables that can be difficult to purge, particularly if they are in LOCKSIZE ROW and without LOCK ESCALATION, as is the case, for example, with the SYSIBM.SYSTABSPACESTATS_H...

    WCA4Z Explanation should display error messages when using translation to native language

    We are looking for a profile that can monitor both active and inactive connections (CONDBAT). This profile exists and it is MONITOR CONNECTIONS, but it only allows LOCATION as a filtering option. We would like to request AUTHID be added as a filter option. This is needed as we have some Application Developers that do not close their connection when done reading DB2 on z/OS data from a distributed application. They continue to create new active threads while they unused threads go inactive. Eventually the application will consume all available connections allowed (CONDBAT) for a DB2 subsystem (or datasharing group) causing outages to other more well behaved applications. LOCATION as a filter does not work for us for distributed applications that reside on a Kubernetes POD.

    Profile monitoring - be able to limit the numbers of users accessing DB2 through DDF by setting up limits by AUTHID.
