SQL Data Insights - API to port a model definition from one Db2 (dev/test) to another Db2 (prod)

Most enterprise customers do not use UIs at all outside of test systems, all production work has to be automated and scripted. For example for all tasks around DDL deployment, object maintenance, etc. Regarding SQL Data Insights, the AI-enabling o...

Set Partition Index, DPSI to the same DSSIZE as Tablespace when converting to RPN and ALTER TABLESPACE DSSIZE is after ALTER TABLESPACE PAGENUM RELATIVE

In numerous cases it is impossible to put the ALTER TABLESPACE DSSIZE in front of the ALTER TABLESPACE PAGENUM RELATIVE due to the number of partitions and page size. Currently this only works with the following. After the reorg materialization th...

simplified code path for RI checking

We had an interesting discussion with the development team about this. As I already mentioned, the RI code path is quite different than the R-scan which may use one or more predicates to evaluate the qualifying rows. The main module that is drivin...

Improve persistent thread concurrency

With the implementation of transactions with persistent threads (like pseudo wait-for-input on IMS) we have been facing some concurrency issues in our site, specially with HPU and batch programs that perform lock escalation. This happens because t...

Enable UUID as a column type, and generation of UUIDs

As we are moving towards more microservices on Z, and more interaction with cloud services, where UUIDs are much more used, we see a growing need for saving and generating UUIDs on Z. We therefore propose that UUID be made a column type in DB2. Th...

Improve Space Search Performance for Nearly Full PBR

Currently, when there are many concurrent inserts on a PBR which is nearly full, CPU and elapsed time for inserts increases by many orders of magnitude, to the point where it can completely monopolize the CPU on an LPAR. In past discussions, I was...

Write Failed Lock Escalation Attempts to Master

Currently, when Lock Escalation succeeds, a message is written to the Master Log with details. However, when a Lock Escalation attempt fails (due to a timeout or deadlock), nothing is written. This sort of timeout or deadlock can be difficult to d...

This RFE is a result of the PMRs (31614,112,848) we have opened where the root cause was identified as invalid values in RTS tables. Current design allows to re-initialize certain fields in RTS (eg. TOTALROWS) only by executing RUNSTATS SHRLEVEL R...
