Db2 High Performance Unload for z/OS

    Showing 14

    HPU writes tables locally. If HPU could write direct to S3 locations, it would eliminate the need to move files after creation.

    If HPU had a feature to write data directly to S3 buckets, it would make the process for moving data to cloud faster & easier. While initial unloads may be constrained by available bandwidth, the process of writing to S3 immediately starts the...

    Unload LOCK YES Drain Writers instead of executing LOCK TABLE

    When executing HPU in Native MODE with parameters ULLOCK = YES, ULLOCKTE = LOCK and ULLOCKMO = NATIVE_ONLY HPU executes a EXEC SQL LOCK TABLE. Sometimes table being locked is in a TS whose a IX TS lock was left in DB2 due to this table be used in ...

    Read and Write partitions in parallel with only one OUTDDN dataset

    Recently, during some tests, we observed that using a single dataset for each part in the OUTDDN with &PART drastically improves the elapsed time of the HPU job (with benefits for data availability, reduced contention probability, etc.). Howev...

    Fixed column List for a Select * based on a timestamp

    It can be very useful if we could input a timestamp in the Unload cards which results in any column that were added to the table post the timestamp to be excluded from the column list to be unloaded. This will give a nice mechanism so that a SELEC...

    LOCK YES should imply QUISECE YES

    Because HPU is not an application program and not a 'true Utility', it does not check all instances of other Utilities for incompatibility. Users will run HPU and other Utilities will that try to start may not see that HPU is running and there cou...

    Allow more than one separator character when unloading in delimited format

    A competitor's unload tool allowed us to specify more than one character in the separator field when unloading data in delimited format. We had to use more than one character, because for unloads of certain tables, we couldn't find a character tha...

    HPU V5.1 - Keep the connection in TSO / DB2 CALL / BATCH / UTILITY / CAF instead of ODBC/RRSAF (the same as HPU V4.3 version) RFE 123074

    http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=123074 Communication switches to ODBC / RRSAF instead of DB2CALL. Our environment has the 'Exit' DSN3@ATH (Conections = TSO / DB2CALL / BATCH / UTILITY / CAF) which changes t...

    For DB2 Force, allow for execution of SQLs prior to the SELECT

    There are many times when we need to execute some SQLs prior to the actual SELECT that will unload the data. This could be as simple as SET CURRENT SCHEMA TO XXXX; (if we are using secondary auth id, the default schema of the tables can not be spe...

    DB2 HPU should honour AUTH_COMPATIBILITY

    Db2 High Performance Unload does not honour Db2 v12 zparm AUTH_COMPATIBILITY when it is set to Null. There has long been the need to lock down the Unload utility to minimise data leakage risks. This capability was delivered in Db2 v12, but it has ...

    Add GROUP BY and DISTINCT to HPU RFE 118682

    http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=118682 The request is to allow HPU tool to support GROUP BY and DISTINCT SQL statement (be part of the hpu syntax diagram ) so that message INZU063I UNSUPPORTED SELECT wont o...
