HPU writes tables locally. If HPU could write direct to S3 locations, it would eliminate the need to move files after creation.

If HPU had a feature to write data directly to S3 buckets, it would make the process for moving data to cloud faster & easier. While initial unloads may be constrained by available bandwidth, the process of writing to S3 immediately starts the...

HPU 'FASTU-DELIMITED' output format delimiter issue

We are in the process of converting CA DB2 Fast Unload jobs to IBM HPU and got the below issue for atleast 16 Batch jobs and impacting the migration to IBM DB2 tools. Faced the delimiter issue with IBM HPU as below :- CA Fast Unload output - '000R...

Unload LOCK YES Drain Writers instead of executing LOCK TABLE

When executing HPU in Native MODE with parameters ULLOCK = YES, ULLOCKTE = LOCK and ULLOCKMO = NATIVE_ONLY HPU executes a EXEC SQL LOCK TABLE. Sometimes table being locked is in a TS whose a IX TS lock was left in DB2 due to this table be used in ...

Regular expressions in calculated fields

For some raw-data fields like res_req or effective_res_req in the job_acct index, it is right now not possible to extract single parameters like the mem-parameter in the rusage section. This could be achieved by supporting regular expressions (reg...

Read and Write partitions in parallel with only one OUTDDN dataset

Recently, during some tests, we observed that using a single dataset for each part in the OUTDDN with &PART drastically improves the elapsed time of the HPU job (with benefits for data availability, reduced contention probability, etc.). Howev...

Fixed column List for a Select * based on a timestamp

It can be very useful if we could input a timestamp in the Unload cards which results in any column that were added to the table post the timestamp to be excluded from the column list to be unloaded. This will give a nice mechanism so that a SELEC...

Adjust login messages in LSF Explorer for better troubleshooting

We are facing a strange behaviour with the messages for a failed login at LSF Explorer Server. There are three scenarios: The user is not able to the system on the server where LSF Explorer is installed - hence the user is not able to login to LSF...

Change job submit time to include milliseconds for precision.

Job submit time to include milliseconds for precision. Instead of HH:MM:SS, make it like 12:29:05.1234. This will enable this column to be used as a unique identifier when generating data in an incremental fashion. We are extracting the RTM data a...

Permission model for Dashboards and Reports

In our environment, a few different teams will make use of different reporting capabilities in LSF Explorer in different scopes. Therefore they will be creating different reports and dashboards. So there is the need to introduce something like a p...
