Db2 for z/OS

Showing 1005 of 16011

Provide one Db2 message to indicate that GRECP and LPL recovery is complete across a Db2 data sharing group.

We use automation to drive our disaster recovery processes to reduce the recovery time and remove human interaction. We have been running into issues with starting software products that require access to Db2 before it has completed GRECP and LPL ...

Db2: V13 Access Path regression: Tablespace scan regresses to nonmatching index scan. After turning this in as a problem, we were told that it was working as designed. Our suggestion is that the design is flawed.

We feel the design is flawed and strongly feel this is a bug. The only time a non-matching index scan should be considered versus the tablespace scan is when it can at least filter the result somewhat. There are ZERO columns in the index that matc...

In a UTS world shouldn't DSNUCH01 include DSNUM as 3rd column for this SYSCOPY's index?

In a UTS world shouldn't DSNUCH01 include DSNUM as 3rd column for the SYSCOPY's index?, since DB2 v12 all tablespaces should be defined as Universal Table Space, PBR or PBG. Segmented and Simple tablespaces are deprecated.

Support for CREATE INDEX DEFER YES DEFINE NO would be very usefull for Spaces with a 'high' number of partitions to avoid timeouts on SYSTSTAB.

When using "CREATE INDEX DEFER YES DEFINE NO", "DEFINE NO" is ignored with SQLCODE 20122 and the VSAM Clusters are created anyway. Doing this for a partitioned index on a partitioned table with lots of partitions (400+) the runtime of CREATE INDEX...
