Automation Tool incorrectly building RUNSTAT jobs when TS has NPSI being RUNSTAT

Unfortunately the product has been generating jobs incorrectly from the getgo for RUNSTATS. When using load balancing across 20 jobs, the partitions should be spread across the 20 jobs. This works when the NPSI is not having RUNSTATS. When the NPS...

HAA - RUNSTATS grouping all NPSI partitions into one job instead of spreading the objects across multiple jobs

Running RUNSTATS on TS with NPSIs. All partitions were put into the same job instead of being spread across the 20 jobs. This is true for Reorg, but not RUNSTATS.

HAA did not pick up the need for NPSIs to be reorged when TS was being reorged

SEMHNSA TS partition 278 having 2 NPSIs was triggered for REORG. HAA is run 6 times on Saturday and 4 times on Sunday since this TS is so large, 7 billion rows in some environments. REXX code rebuilds the RGNSA001 so that only 100M rows are reorge...

Enhance Tooll to be able add the Unload Utility and HPU

Have a process to unload test data and load it to another environment. Currently each database has 1 job where the elapsed time is very long. It would be great to have the tool load balance this over multiple jobs.

HAA - when doing a Pending Data Change, such as DSSIZE, reorgs are generated at partition level instead of being escalated up to TS level

Changing the DSSIZE on a PBR. The entire TS must be reorged to apply the pending data change. I have coded the object set to accomplish this. The automation tool should have the intelligence to do this. I need also to do this for a DPSI index, cha...

Provide Reallocate option to set PRIQTY/SECQTY to -1

We are looking to simplify our DB2 dataset management by allowing DB2 to choose the correct sizes (PRIQTY and SECQTY to -1). However, there is not an option where you can put a specific allocation, or set an option to let DB2 pick the size (-1).
