    Create INDEX and SKPT lock. DDL and continuous availability.

    Working in a banking 24x7 environment without any maintenance window our concurrency issues with DDL changes are increasing more and more everyday as our workload increases. There are some concurrency problems that we think it should value the eff...

    Show DSNT709I also in Joblog of MSTR

    If there are several instances of RLF tables, and someone activates a specific instance using the DSN command with the command -START RLIMIT ID=nn, this is currently impossible to trace, or at least very difficult to trace. The START command is on...

    Improve performance of EXPLAIN

    With early versions of DB2 the performance of EXPLAIN was not relevant. Nowadays, where DBAs do thousands of EXPLAINs, the performance and turnaround is getting critical. I think there is room for better performance and throughput of mass EXPLAINs...

    DISPLAY EARLY CODE command

    Good to know what the level of of the DB2 early code. IBM currently make viewing the early code level far more difficult than it needs to be.

    Removal of an unnecesary system crash due to must-complete or latch holding agent - RC 00F3040A

    Today, there is an intentional system crash designed and exploited with an abend code 00F3040A when an agent abending in system is in so called must-complete state or is holding a latch. We have been running a case TS006198341 where our system cra...

    When DB2 writes a message to the DB2 Log, DB2 could also optionally write the contents of the message to a new IBM Catalog Table SYSIBM.DB2_Messages or a user defined table.

    WHY THIS IS A GOOD IDEA Many of our DB2 subsystems and members remain active for several months or more. Searching for a DB2 Message can take a long time in SDSF when analysing and diagnosing problems. Having all of the DB2 Messages in a Table mak...

    issue DISPLAY BLOCKERS instead of DISPLAY CLAIMERS when DRAIN timeout

    Currently when DRAIN fails during REORG, a DISPLAY CLAIMERS is issued. The draw back is there is no "age" information, so user does not know which thread is the blocker, because the claimer could also be waiter.

    Eliminate x-locks on CREATE INDEX DEFER YES to improve concurrency

    This is similar to DB24ZOS-I-1114 and DB24ZOS-I-1689. When attempting to create an index with CREATE INDEX DEFER YES, there should be no need to lock packages that are dependent on the table. Requiring an x-lock doesn't seem necessary. With phase-...

    Sample job for REORG of catalog and directory

    We maintain a partly homegrown job to reorg the catalog (DSNDB06) and directory (DSNDB01) table spaces. It is built using sample job DSNTIJCV. It is hard to maintain that job when the catalog and directory changes. Just as Db2 deliver a sample job...
