We had a problem with a CDC tool because it was reading/requesting Archlogs.With DIS ARCHIVE we could easily identify that it was the CDC tool. With DIS THREAD you could see that there are many different processes coming from that tool.Now you nee...

Utility History support to expand to record Utility Phase Level execution details

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...

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).

Issue an appropriate message instead of a dump in case of 00E20015 occurrence

If Db2 boosts a thread, it should have preference over other boost activities (like zIIP boost)

We had the situation that some threads (DDF threads) hold a latch and this latch is required also for Db2 system tasks. The Db2 boost does not help in this situation because we use zIIP boost during IPL. So from a WLM perspective higher prioritize...

DSNTEP2/4 should issue Timestamp before and after SQL statement execution, or even better the delta ow long a SQL statement needs

If a lot of SQL statements are executed in one job and step, it is very difficult to find the SQL which takes the long time. IFCID traces on DB2 must be started to neil this down. OR another example is the fact that e.g. the first ALTER in a seque...

Complete PROFILE support for SQL tuning ZPARMS

While modelling a production system it was noticed that the PROFILE support is not 100% up to date and compatible with the actual ZPARMs that the Db2 Optimizer uses. I opened a case TS019778440 and they said "Yes, it is missing, please open an AHA...
