Suppressing RACF messages and security error messages for internal metadata calls triggered by DVM Studio

A new DVM server parameter will be added to suppress the RACF log messages and SMF recording for internal DVM calls. This new approach is to redesign the way to handle both the security error messages for internal metadata calls triggered by DVM S...

Write JGate messages to Trace Browse

When using JGate we currently need to look in multiple logs in order to put together a complete picture of what happens during a given transaction. We would like for JGate to have the ability to write messages back to the trace browse on the calli...

Enable instances of a virtual table using a PSB/PCB using a PROCSEQ to use an alternate index (non-root)

Per IBM instances of a virtual table using a PSB/PCB using a PROCSEQ to use an alternate index are only supported for indexes on the ROOT segment. This severely impacts performance for DVM access to IMS data which performs well via IMS using secon...

Utilize IMS Catalog when creating virtual tables

Per IBM direction, we are currently working towards fully populating the IMS catalog. This catalog could be used in a similar manner to the Db2 catalog when creating DVM virtual tables. Instead of providing the DBD, PSB and copybooks when creating...

Allow Logon to JDBC Gateway Console via RACF group instead of shared credentials

Currently the logon to each JGate console is via a single id/pw. These credentials must be shared by the support team which is not a best practice. When team members leave, all passwords must be changed (if that's even possible). If changing the p...

Enable sampling for RUNSTATS

Currently RUNSTATS for non-Db2 virtual tables or virtual views will pull all data from the map and then calculate the stats values. When millions of records are present, the process begins to exceed the subsystem limits on cpu and memory. We would...

AVZLINE support for outbound connections

We have a REXX script named REXUSER, provided a few years ago, that processes connections for ACI/Adabas users. It issues command RXRC = AVZRXPC(SUBSYS,'DISPLAY', 'REMU', 500, 1920 ) then parses the line details. We would like to use this (or simi...

before DVM termination, wait for seconds which defined in CLIENTQUIESCEDELAY until there are no PSB scheduled with DVM.

DVM v1.1 IMS v13 With above env, we issued /P AVZS to terminate DVM while PSB is still scheduled. Then, it caused U3398 error of that application. We believe that termination command should wait till application will be stopped, or at le...
