    COPYTOCOPY with new keyword SYSTEMPAGES(YES)

    We do FlashCopy image copies by COPY utility and then a COPYTOCOPY to other media from these FlashCopies. Normally the UNLOAD utility can use these image copies generated by COPYTOCOPY, but in some cases not: as the dictionary was created by INSER...

    Add auditing to Db2 profile tables

    We need a way to determine who/what/when changed something on the profile tables. DSN_PROFILE_TABLE DSN_PROFILE_ATTRIBUTES Current tables have timestamp but it's static. Would be nice to have row change timestamp added so we have both insert and u...

    Implicit Tablespaces for conversion of multi-table tablespaces to UTS PBG

    When converting multi-table tablespaces to universal tablespaces with new command ALTER TABLESPACE MOVE TABLE you need to create a new tablespace for each table explicitely before you can use the command. It would be very nice if the ALTER TABLESP...

    Dataset Processing (CREATE, DELETE, EXTEND) should get a timelimit

    We had an unimportant pageset, which was defined with ERASE YES. Due to the long timeframe of writing x'00' (ERASE YES) on the tracks of this pageset, another dataset processing (EXTEND) of a very important pageset waits and is timed out. This tim...

    IRLM enhancement in case of global deadlock processing

    We had a situation which was described in case TS015567644. The symptom was that IRLM could not fully process the complete deadlock stuff of all members of an 8-way DS system. Therefore we get DXR167E in some of the members. Additional workload wi...

    z/OSMF workflow artifacts for Db2 UPDATE and ACTIVATE process

    IBM z/OSMF workflows are being improved to be used for Db2 installation and migration. It would be nice if we have also the artifacts for the other CLIST processes: UPDATE and ACTIVATE. The UPDATE process is what we use the most.

    REORG with a new keyword should transfer the page set work to DFDSS

    Why is the above idea useful? Sometimes you need to move page sets around due to altering the HLQ, due to removing extents etc. These actions do not require an unload and reload of the data, because it is external stuff out of DB2 scope. For small...

    Have Db2 for z/OS issue a message at Db2 subsystem restart if a DSNZPARM or DSNHDECP member has been changed.

    Configuration management is a major focus of our auditors and compliance officers. We have to be able to show that we have a standard build and that any changes from the standard configuration would be closely governed via change control. The focu...
