Db2 for z/OS

    Removal of an unnecesary system crash due to must-complete or latch holding agent - RC 00F3040A

    Today, there is an intentional system crash designed and exploited with an abend code 00F3040A when an agent abending in system is in so called must-complete state or is holding a latch. We have been running a case TS006198341 where our system cra...
    over 4 years ago in Db2 for z/OS 1 Not under consideration

    When DB2 writes a message to the DB2 Log, DB2 could also optionally write the contents of the message to a new IBM Catalog Table SYSIBM.DB2_Messages or a user defined table.

    WHY THIS IS A GOOD IDEA Many of our DB2 subsystems and members remain active for several months or more. Searching for a DB2 Message can take a long time in SDSF when analysing and diagnosing problems. Having all of the DB2 Messages in a Table mak...

    issue DISPLAY BLOCKERS instead of DISPLAY CLAIMERS when DRAIN timeout

    Currently when DRAIN fails during REORG, a DISPLAY CLAIMERS is issued. The draw back is there is no "age" information, so user does not know which thread is the blocker, because the claimer could also be waiter.

    IBM Enterprise COBOL / Db2 coprocessor - Validate Db2 cursor names at compile time

    Hi, The IBM Enterprise COBOL compiler supports the translation of Db2 statements (delegating them to the compiler's integrated coprocessor).These Db2 statements can reference read cursors, and cursors have an identifier. We noted that only the EXE...

    Eliminate x-locks on CREATE INDEX DEFER YES to improve concurrency

    This is similar to DB24ZOS-I-1114 and DB24ZOS-I-1689. When attempting to create an index with CREATE INDEX DEFER YES, there should be no need to lock packages that are dependent on the table. Requiring an x-lock doesn't seem necessary. With phase-...

    Enable zEDC for Tempdatasets

    Actually no temporary Datasets are zEDC eligible, i suppose because there is no long term benefit in space reduction. Especially DB2 with LISTDEF (for example Reorg Tablespace LIST with SORTDEVT specification of very large Tablespaces) would benef...

    Restful API call needs to support array data types

    Sample job for REORG of catalog and directory

    We maintain a partly homegrown job to reorg the catalog (DSNDB06) and directory (DSNDB01) table spaces. It is built using sample job DSNTIJCV. It is hard to maintain that job when the catalog and directory changes. Just as Db2 deliver a sample job...

    Instantiated temp tables with full functionality

    The SAP data dictionary supports the creation of temp tables. This allows application developers to speed up the processing by temporarily storing result sets of queries in the database and later process them. The data is only kept until commit. T...

    Altering the default value of a global variable

    Global Variables: A global variable can be created with a default value. Each session that uses it will then instantiate a version of that global variable, with the default value and any change in the value is limited in scope to its unit-of-work....
