Db2 Analytics Accelerator Loader for z/OS

Showing 26 of 15229

Requesting an option to control whether the job (high availability load) should run or fail if an accelerator is unavailable

In today's environment, HALOAD job fails if one of the accelerators is unavailable, and it impedes table data refresh on all accelerators in the job. Allowing HALOAD job to continue execution by skipping the unavailable accelerator will mitigate t...

use IDAA Loader to create a backup of a very large un-partitioned AOT, alternately allow AOTs to be partitioned

We have a very large table of data which we would like to take off of DB2. We have created an AOT and loaded it from DB2, but we have not been able to create a backup of the AOT. Without a backup we can not remove the table from DB2. This was repo...

IDAA loader message HLOU5902S appearing in a Db2 utility running in batch address space.

Issue : DB2 utility running a check index all on a non-accelerated table(space) gave below messages HLOU5902S and HLOU5903W that appear misleading; when the accelerator loader should not be coming into picture here. The DSNUPROC for the DSNUTILB h...

add message at EOJ with jobs/load stats

Currently in loader job output the stats of the job /table / load times are displayed. I would like for them to be in a message that we can use to automate stats on loads. example: “HLxxxxI Job J9I75275 Full table, number of rows: 610254877, amoun...

Improve AOT backup performance

We're using IDAA loader V 2.1 to run backups for very huge AOTs. When IDAA loader takes a backup from an IDAA AOT it uses SQL multirow fetch to transfer the data from IDAA into a z/OS sequential file. This may work fine for small AOTs. But in our ...

Issue different return code when no rows loaded

We have an IDAA loader job that disables the table prior to the load to IDAA. Upon successful load of # rows, Loader will end with RC = 0 and enable the table for acceleration again. If the same process is run multiple times and results in "no row...

HLOMAINT utility enhancement request

Today, HLOMAINT utility is not designed to find out what utilities are stuck or dead. To clean up those loader utilities, we run a SELECT * against HLOTB.HLOUSTAT table, review each utility, and run the HLOMAINT job to terminate the utilities one ...

LOAD into accelerator table via ALIAS name

Currently, with IDAA Loader v2.1 it is not possible to LOAD data into target accelerator tables that are referenced via ALIAS names. It would be helpful and a great enhancement, e.g. for migration scenario to future IDAA versions, to reference the...

Use of IDAA Loader with REORG Utility w/ Purge LOG(NO)

Currently after a Db2 table REORG/Purge job that is using LOG(NO) I have to have a secondary jobstep to then reload the accelerator shadow table(s). What I'm thinking is that if the IDAA Loader can load the accelerator shadow table(s) in parallel ...

Some of our daily DB2 load Jobs are "DUAL MODE" (DB2 + 4 IDAAs) but we are having issues due to RC=8 when just one IDAA receives error . When the load is sucessful for DB2 and 3 IDAAs but abend for just one IDAA we want to receive at least RC=4 be...
