Db2 for z/OS

Showing 985 of 15535

Provide a threshold for the number of incidents caused by a single holder for message DSNT376I.

Availability and stable systems are very important to us (as they are for most users of DB2 for Z). Recently, I implemented a process that automatically terminated any process that shows up as the holder for a specific number (threshold) of DSNT37...

Add SYSDISC DSNTIAUL format to REORG utility

Sometimes there's a need to repopulate DB2 tables concatenating outputs from REORG SYSDISC and DSNTIAUL in a single LOAD SYSREC file. So the idea is to have a parameter like REORG ... SYSDISC FORMAT INTERNAL|DSNTIAUL. Basically the difference betw...

Provide a default PLAN_TABLE and DSN_STATEMENT_CACHE_TABLE

If we use the CURRENT EXPLAIN MODE special register more widely, we have to create either a PLAN_TABLE and a DSN_STATEMENT_CACHE_TABLE or an ALIAS for each user. If we forget it, it doesn't work. So if there would be a default table for both, all ...

DB2 z/OS security; hide install SYSADM and SYSOPR from DSNZPARM; use RACF instead

In DB2 z/OS, no group and/or userids are more powerful than the Install SYSADM and to no small degree the Install SYSOPR. Yet, these userids and/or groups are easily found by anyone having access to a db2 subsystem and knowing the existance of DSN...

Better filter factors - use RI for this

The Db2/LUW optimizer has some algorithms that affect the optimization of queries on that platform based on the fact that RI is involved. But, Db2 for Z can calculate very incorrect filter factors that can be much more correct if Db2 enforced RI w...
