    Intelligent Online Reorg Switch time calculation

    In a 24 hour online Db2 environment it can be difficult to complete an online REORG because the VSAM switch phase may fail, due to the activity on the tablespace being too high. The idea is to use the system monitors or a log analyzer tool to look...

    Include repair catalog in the redirected recover

    It should not be necessary to explicitely run a repair catalog after running a redirected recover. The redirected recover should adjust the version information in the catalog itself.

    MODIFY with DELETEDS and DSN not cataloged printing message as ERROR... and completing with RC4. Should be WARNING instead of ERROR.

    Reviewing the output, it is concerning seeing a message with ERROR in the text. DSNU1323I ERROR DELETING IMAGE COPY DATA SET FOR object-type.object-qualifier.object-name DSNUM part-number DSN=dataset-name This is not an ERROR but a fact of lif...

    Load into util next to a reorg

    As discussed in IDUG EMEA 2023 Praag, i gave a presentation about reorg a big table that took 8 days. If the table cant be accessed, a recover to that point would take 6 hours. So table created at front that can have the data already loaded until ...

    Track REORGs with SHRLEVEL NONE

    We do not want anyone to run a REORG with SHRLEVEL NONE. If they do we might end up with big problems, especially if it abends or we have to terminate it. We see no reason to use SHRLEVEL NONE with REORG any more unless it is a huge tables that ca...

    Db2 data page validation

    Db2 broken data page was copied by Image Copy Utility, which rendered image copy unusable. Check Page option was not sufficient to detect broken page. Mitigation doesn't exist. Data are lost. Proposal: Create separate tool and/or enhanced Copy Uti...

    Change behavior of option PARALLEL(0) for REORG TABLESPACE

    We had a problem recently when a reorg of a tablespace with 100 partitions consumed far too much real storage. We ran the reorg with PARALLEL(0) and it choose to use 188 parallel tasks. That was probably OK at the beginning of the execution but no...

    Automatic deletion of empty SYSDISC datasets

    BMC LOAD...DELETEFILES YES SYSDISC YES causes an empty SYSDISC file to be deleted. Also it appears this happens automatically when PARALLEL is used with the IBM utility but only with PARALLEL.
