Db2 for z/OS

    Showing 1067

    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...
    9 months ago in Db2 for z/OS 0 Under review

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

    Improving Insert Performance for LOBs

    Display IAG2 on object level

    Sometimes IAG2 will be disabled, in some situations this is clear and ok, in some situations it is strange and not expected. To implement reliable automation we need e.g. an enhancement to DISPLAY DATABASE SPACENAM with IAG, which shows which inse...
