Advanced filter creation options

In addition to the option of creating a calculation, it would be very helpful to have the option (similar to ReportStudio) of using Boolean expressions for filter creation. For example, you could then simply create a filter that outputs the last 1...

Define centrally adjustable dashboard templates

This would greatly support the implementation of the corporate design (font sizes, number formats, etc.) and the standardized dashboard display.

Unchangeable filter

A filter that can be implemented in the global area of the filter bar or in the tab area in such a way that it cannot be changed, meaning that a user cannot remove it

Such a button —or simply the option of a mouseover for various dashboard objects—would be very helpful in explaining certain elements of a dashboard in more detail.

Allow ALTER TABLE xxx COLUMN yyy SET NOT NULL

The ability to change nearly everything about a column is really cool in Db2. Sadly, the one thing that you cannot easily change is the NULLability of any given column. This is definitely a requirement all over the place and currently can only be ...

Support REORG for DEFINE NO

I have heard, in various IBM presentations (Haakon at IDUG Valencia, John Lyle at CCDB2) talking about Db2 Vnext, the statement "no migration to vnext if you have 6 byte RBA/LRSN or non-UTS tablespaces". This if fine unless you happen to have old ...

Convert UTS PBG workfile TSs for DGTT or SORT only without DROP/RECREATE

Starting with function level 13508 we can use workfile separation for DGTTs and SORT. We want to prevent that we have to drop and recreate all the existing UTS PBG workfiles which will be by default used for DGTT (USAGE= ). Wouldn't it be possible...

Deferred ALTERs can be materialized on a subset of partitions

We have a 2048 partitioned Tablespace and need to ALTER the keyranges. Afterwards a REORG on the complete object is needed. We want a piecemeal tactic for the REORG: All ALTERs are in SYSPENDINGDDL, and a REORG on partition level can materialize a...
