ARCRETN separation for copy1 and 2

We control the archive log retention for our shop using the ARCRETN zparm which controls both logcopy1 and locopy2. We would like the ability to control these independently as we have application data requirements to retain data for longer periods...

Control of Locksize and Maxpartitions for implicitly defined tablespaces.

We must be able to control parameters like locksize and maxpartitions on implicitly defined tablespaces.In DB2 V12R1M504 multi table tablespaces are deprecated, so we need to use implicitly defined tablespaces for QMF useres. Today we use segmente...

Write Failed Lock Escalation Attempts to Master

Currently, when Lock Escalation succeeds, a message is written to the Master Log with details. However, when a Lock Escalation attempt fails (due to a timeout or deadlock), nothing is written. This sort of timeout or deadlock can be difficult to d...

INTERPRET Function for Packed-decimal Data

We have some old tables with a CHAR column where we store a record formatted by a Cobol Program. It contains a mix of display data and packed-decimal data. To use that data we have to read it in a Cobol program and interpret it using a Cobol copyb...

IFCID amendment to include SQL Text

Currently the ifcid 366 and 376 do not always supply the SQL text, but rely on the explain statement cache to supply it. This means SMF extracts rarely supply the SQL text required for these records.

DSNTIAUL should support input LRECL size of > 80 bytes and not ignore input beyond the first 72 bytes

It is sometimes easy to put SQL all on one record as long as the LRECL of that record is very large. It becomes difficult to parse that SQL so it is divided into 72 byte records. Currently, the IBM utilities have input files that can have a LRECL ...

Pseudo IFCID 316

When using REOPT(ALWAYS) on a batch package to deliberately avoid filling the Dynamic Statement Cache (DSC) the SQL is, correctly, not inserted into the DSC and is not exrternalized by an IFCID 316. However this then "hides" the workload from moni...

ADD PART was used to insert a new physical partition in the middle of a tablespace. Now the Logical and Physical partitions are mismatch. If a Full Reorg on the full tablespace is performed, the utility can include an option to resync the logical ...
