    CDC could check in advance whether the log record provided by IFI 306 can be discarded, as in cases of records originating from utilities such as REBUILD INDEX.

    Today we have some REBUILD INDEXES that run on very large NPI indexes, as consequence of LOAD INDEXDEFER NPI. These REBUILD INDEXES last some hours to finish. We noticed IBM CDC for Db2 z/OS follows units of recovery (URs) generated by these REBUI...

    We are looking for a profile that can monitor both active and inactive connections (CONDBAT). This profile exists and it is MONITOR CONNECTIONS, but it only allows LOCATION as a filtering option. We would like to request AUTHID be added as a filter option. This is needed as we have some Application Developers that do not close their connection when done reading DB2 on z/OS data from a distributed application. They continue to create new active threads while they unused threads go inactive. Eventually the application will consume all available connections allowed (CONDBAT) for a DB2 subsystem (or datasharing group) causing outages to other more well behaved applications. LOCATION as a filter does not work for us for distributed applications that reside on a Kubernetes POD.

    Profile monitoring - be able to limit the numbers of users accessing DB2 through DDF by setting up limits by AUTHID.
