    Enable queryValue() and queryValues() for Report Queries and Data Items

    As of today, both macro functions queryValue() and queryValues() can only be used with direct source paths (e.g., package or data module). It would be extremely beneficial for report authors if these functions could also reference report queries a...

    Support the arrow keys in Db2 CLP on Linux

    The Db2 CLP, since decades, does not handle arrow keys. This makes it hard to quickly go back to previous commands and edit statements. It's a nuisance to most Db2 users. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62298637/using-arrow-keys-within-db2...

    Add support for heterogenous DDL replication from a DB2 LUW source to a DB2 LUW target

    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.
