Db2 for z/OS

Improve ALTER TABLE ROTATE PARTITION

Currently ALTER TABLE ROTATE PARTITION only allows the ENDING value to be a constant, minvalue, or maxvalue. I would suggest adding the ability to generate DATES or TIMESTAMPS so that additional programming is not necessary to generate the ALTER s...

Make IFI process zIIP eligible

With more and more data being replicated off host, the replication tasks are increasingly using more and more CPU to read the logs. Allowing the IFI read process to be zIIP eligible would help reduce our general purpose CPU consumption. This would...

Show DSNT709I also in Joblog of MSTR

If there are several instances of RLF tables, and someone activates a specific instance using the DSN command with the command -START RLIMIT ID=nn, this is currently impossible to trace, or at least very difficult to trace. The START command is on...

Enhance DSN1COMP to provide more information on LOB's

There is a need to have a greater handle on LOB columns with regard to their size and storage. At the moment the only way to analyse the lengths of the LOBs is through using expensive SQL with BIF LENGTH and SUBSTR. It really only possible to do s...

New Function UNHEX

New Function UNHEX (name subject to change/negotiation) We have a system where all CHAR columns are defined FOR BIT DATA. It seemed genius at the time to save a few bytes of data, not realizing the negative impact in future maintainability and in ...

In a UTS world shouldn't DSNUCH01 include DSNUM as 3rd column for this SYSCOPY's index?

In a UTS world shouldn't DSNUCH01 include DSNUM as 3rd column for the SYSCOPY's index?, since DB2 v12 all tablespaces should be defined as Universal Table Space, PBR or PBG. Segmented and Simple tablespaces are deprecated.

Add auditing to Db2 profile tables

We need a way to determine who/what/when changed something on the profile tables. DSN_PROFILE_TABLE DSN_PROFILE_ATTRIBUTES Current tables have timestamp but it's static. Would be nice to have row change timestamp added so we have both insert and u...

DB2 utility should be protected in case of abend 878 - end of memory

Hello there, This is related to IBM case TS016981605. DB2 was not able to manage correctly 878 abend (end of virtual memory below 16M line). Because of that, we had troubles in our production environment. In this case, IBM suggested to require a "...

Drop indexes with uniquerule P and C

When a tablespace is converted from PBG to PBR or even PBR-PBG-PBR all indexes become non-partitioned. There will not be a solution to convert non-partitioned indexes to partitioned. Instead IBM point to DB24ZOS-I-553 to create new unique indexes ...

Prevent VPSIZE(0) Bufferpool

The idea would be to have a permission or rule in place to prevent an alter bufferpool to VPSIZE(0). As it can cause major problems.
