Add Two Factor Authentication support for Data Studio

Our z/OS security infrastructure now requires two factor authentication for all z/OS IDs which have elevated privileges. These IDs are required to configure new connections or apply maintenance for bind activities in DS. Are there any plans to add...

IFCID 316 401 ZiiP Usage Statistics

Currently the IFCIDs 316 and 401 contains great data for monitoring and tuning SQLs. It would be excellent if these IFCIDs could be extended to include a separate set of ZiiP counters. IFCID 25 does this for Utilities at the moment.

Pseudo IFCID 316

When using REOPT(ALWAYS) on a batch package to deliberately avoid filling the Dynamic Statement Cache (DSC) the SQL is, correctly, not inserted into the DSC and is not exrternalized by an IFCID 316. However this then "hides" the workload from moni...

Convert PBR tablespace to PBG without an outage

Right now we have situations come up where applications and DBAs have created partition by range (PBR) tables, and there is a need later on to convert these to partition by growth (PBG). Currently there is no way to do this without dropping the ob...

Allow RUNSTATS SHRLEVEL CHANGE to operate as the name says

This RFE is a result of the PMRs (31614,112,848) we have opened where the root cause was identified as invalid values in RTS tables. Current design allows to re-initialize certain fields in RTS (eg. TOTALROWS) only by executing RUNSTATS SHRLEVEL R...

Log offload task needs to be manually cancelled restarted after outage to tape

We are seeing situations when tape processing is down and a DB2 request to offload logs to tape is initiated using dynamic allocation, that offload task will hang and never be satisfied until the offload task is cancelled and re-driven manually. T...

Materialize a reorg pending change through part-level reorgs

At the moment an AREOR exception state can only be solved by reorganizing the whole (partitioned) tablespace in one go. We want to do the materialization in several sequential steps on a part-level base.
