Identify major LOG captures.

We frequently experience delays in QREP Capture readings on our peak processing days without any apparent monster transactions. Transactions and rows continue to be processed, but at a slower rate than the actual log reads. In these cases, we have...

Let Capture build the transaction message with non-LOB columns first and LOB columns last instead of in strict column sequence order.

Please consider changing Capture to build transaction messages with all non-LOB data first, then add on the LOB data after all other non-LOB data no matter what the sequence numbers. This would prevent the risk of splitting a message on non-LOB da...

Automatic data validation by using asnclp create qsub with different data type column mapping

Related to the case TS020335936 Scenario: Consider the following qsub creation: mapping VARCHAR(26) to TIMESTAMP(6) TRGCOLS EXCLUDE (RECORD_TIME, MES_RECORD_TIME, SITE_CD, D_KEY, CHANGE_TYPE, CHANGE_TIME) EXPRESSION ( "'MES2'" TARGET SITE_CD, "cur...

Remove the Privileges tab in IBM's Unified Management Server for z/OS

We use RACF as our external security manager for Db2 authorizations. Using the “Privileges” tab shows the internal Db2 permissions. We have two issues with this functionality : 1) We consider this a security exposure. We do not allow anyone that s...

Enhance UMS to fully support AT-TLS.

From time to time we get audit findings for SSL vulnerabilities and so we prefer having that all centralized in AT-TLS to provide better visibility and management than having to tweak individual products.

Provide mechanism to see 'logged in' users

This is really a Zowe and UMS Idea but I couldn't find Zowe and we use Zowe in support of UMS. It would be very helpful prior to performing any changes requiring a shutdown to know if anyone is currently logged into UMS (and Zowe but since our use...

Performance improvement for expression

Add one column with STATIC expression on target, but got long processing time (delay) on apply side. Would like to know the reason why. New Expression:Expression: ‘MES1’ -> site_cd Existing expression looks like as:CASE WHEN :SYS_CD is NULL the...

Improvement of QREP to allow replication of data generated in the Db2 LOG by the LOAD utility with SHRLEVEL NONE LOG YES.

Need: Meet the growing demand for data replication from Banco do Brasil -Scenario:- Banco do Brasil is a large user of data replication using Qrep (IIDR) + Db2 v13 for z/OS, there are thousands of tables replicated from production environments for...

Data captured in long transactions with guaranteed delivery to destination

It is usefull because sometimes a very long transaction pass through the Capture process but can´t be delivered causing memory lack at destination. The benefit would be not losing the data transferred to the destination. One suggestion would be to...
