Help for complex utilities

For complex utilities (I primarily mean REORG here but copy and runstats are getting there!) an addition to the OPTIONS with a new keyword SHOW or EXPLAIN or HELP. This would change the utility to be PREVIEW in all cases! And it will just output t...

DISPLAY UTIL should show more detailed count for the displayed phases

We have a REBUILD IX job with a table which has 8.5 billion rows. During the rebuild DIS UTIL shows for the UNLOAD phase a higher count than 8.5 billion e.g 10 billion or more. Therefore I openend a case how could it be that this number is higher ...

There should be a Db2 utility to delete rows from SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS and SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES

Currently there is no to delete rows from SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS and SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES and these tables will keep growing. All sites with these tables enabled require this. The utility could be an extension of the functionality of "MODIFY RECOVERY"...

Multiple Workbenches Open

It would be very helpful for developers and admins to be able to have more than one workbench open at a time, the same way you can have multiple books open. I understand you can only have one "new workbench*" open at a time, which is fine. My prop...

After PIT Recovery the RTS values are restored

Today some RTS statistics is lost after PIT Recovery. These statistics is necessary for other utilites like REORG, REBUILD or CHECK to calculate e.g. the correct SORTWKxx data set sizes. As we have very large objects, this behaviour lead to the co...

Allow use of REORG DISCARD for DSNDB06.SYSTSUTL

The SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES is going to require pruning -- and presumably SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS will as well. With row-level locking, doing a mass delete to purge unneeded history objects could become an issue with too many held locks and would likely r...

SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES should have a column containing the full text of the Db2 utility

SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES should have a column containing the full text of the Db2 utility that was executed. This allows the DBAs or sysprogs to see exactly what was executed for problem and other analysis. For example if someone has run a utility that...
