Provide Transformer in Cloud for Clients building against DashDB

Currently customers that are building Transformer PowerCubes on premise against DashDB in the cloud are forced to leverage IQDs (32-bit) due to the excessive round-trips of the data when using DQM data sources (64-bit). This is necessitating a slo...

Allow the specification of the isolation mode at the statement level

The programmer should be able to specify the isolation mode (committed read, dirty read, serializable etc.) at the statement level.I don't have a definitive idea on how to specify this in terms of syntax. It could be in a "clean" way like: SELECT ...

Make CP cumulFunction and expressions accept float instead of int

cumulFunction and expressions currently only allow the resource usage to be int which is not useful for all resource types. Whilst a workaround of multiplying the int by a large number to approximate the float is possible there are limitations and...

OPL port for z/OS

Improve OPL Interfaces by providing field access infer by using the OPL model schema

Modify coefficient, adding variable, iterate on tupleset, modifiing dataElements and almost all operation in the OPL interface are really counter intuitive. Object uses by OPL are not directly compatible with the framework object. Ituple!= Tuple. ...

Allow actions in 'ERROR' status to be automatically rescheduled

It occasionally happens that an action will encounter an error because an incompatible utility is already executing on a given object. For example, when a separate RUNSTATS utility on an object attempts to execute while a REORG on that same object...

Allow Filtering by Start/End Timestamps on "Autonomic Actions" panel

On panel DAJ$ALRT "Autonomic Actions", it would be very helpful to be able to also allow the user to filter the results by specifying starting and/or ending timestamps. When a user has executed thousands of autonomics actions over time, this would...
