    Deferred ALTERs can be materialized on a subset of partitions

    We have a 2048 partitioned Tablespace and need to ALTER the keyranges. Afterwards a REORG on the complete object is needed. We want a piecemeal tactic for the REORG: All ALTERs are in SYSPENDINGDDL, and a REORG on partition level can materialize a...

    DB2 zAI SQL deploy access path change alert

    Hi dear team, We know what in DB2 zAI on component SA and DCC, we can setup alert, but SQL we don't. When we have internal meeting, we think it's better to setup alert on 'deploy' because the access path change will impact business performance. ca...

    Allow to query and stop an object in one go to avoid STOPP

    Feature Proposal: In-Place Transparent Archiving for PBR Tablespaces Current transparent archiving frameworks require duplicating table structures, mapping base-to-archive targets, and running resource-intensive DELETE routines to purge old data. ...

    Automated Stored Procedure & Function Upgrade Job

    Current Pain Point: Upgrading Db2 UDFs and stored procedures to newer compatibility modes (e.g., V13R1M507) requires tedious tracking, manual validation, and repetitive ALTER/RECREATE. Unlike on package level when you can specify rebind with (COLL...

    Provide one Db2 message to indicate that GRECP and LPL recovery is complete across a Db2 data sharing group.

    We use automation to drive our disaster recovery processes to reduce the recovery time and remove human interaction. We have been running into issues with starting software products that require access to Db2 before it has completed GRECP and LPL ...

    Make IFI process zIIP eligible

    With more and more data being replicated off host, the replication tasks are increasingly using more and more CPU to read the logs. Allowing the IFI read process to be zIIP eligible would help reduce our general purpose CPU consumption. This would...

    TRANSFER OWNERSHIP for ALIAS for table or view

    To drop an alias for a table or view you need high privileges (SYSADM, SYSCTRL or System DBADM) or ownership of the alias. Aliases that were created before DB2 V9 do not have an owner and some other aliases have the wrong owner. It would help a lo...
