Db2 for z/OS

    Showing 1067

    I would like to force the use of the "DEFER" option on the creation of an index (using Zparm to make it optional).

    We have DBAs that at times (accidently) run a "CREATE INDEX" and fail to include the "DEFER" option. This is rather easy to do because the reverse engineering tools fail to create syntax with the "DEFER" option. The creation of indexes can be very...

    Avoid Reorg Abends by improving estimation of average row length

    Today, for estimating the average row length being passed to sort, REORG gets that from catalog statistics with either AVGROWLEN or COMPRESSRATIO. The reason RTS stats is not used, is because RTS only contains the compressed data size.

    FL LEVEL support

    In Db2 12 the Functional Level is currently *not* externalized in various places where it most definitely should be. Notably the PLAN_TABLE, IFCID 316 and IFCID 401. If you are attempting tuning you *must* know under which FL level the SQL in ques...

    Add TCPIP DROP to CANCEL THREAD FORCE to clear orphan threads from DB2 incase of TCPIP abend

    Orphan threads can be cancelled with CANCEL THREAD FORCE. No need to issue TCPIP DROP separately.

    Set Partition Index, DPSI to the same DSSIZE as Tablespace when converting to RPN and ALTER TABLESPACE DSSIZE is after ALTER TABLESPACE PAGENUM RELATIVE

    In numerous cases it is impossible to put the ALTER TABLESPACE DSSIZE in front of the ALTER TABLESPACE PAGENUM RELATIVE due to the number of partitions and page size. Currently this only works with the following. After the reorg materialization th...

    remove limitations in workfile database which leedsto outages

    When a workfile is created Db2 increments obid, when a workfile ist dropped the obid is not released by Db2. There is a restriction of maximum 500 workfiles. When the limit has been reached, no more work files can be created, SQL code -497 is retu...

    RUNSTATS with exception consideration

    All DB2 customers use RUNSTATS. The RUNSTATS results are used by the DB2 optimizer to determine optimal access plans. In 99.999 percent of all cases this is not a problem. However, there are some objects (tablespaces / indices) for which a RUNSTAT...

    Allow more granular control over what SQL will result in Statistics Profiles updates

    Unnecessary statistics can increase RUNSTATS collection elapsed and CPU time, sometimes exponentially, and impact BIND/PREPARE performance because the optimizer must read in all available statistics to determine what is and is not useful for each ...

    Modify DSNJU004 to print all information stored in a Db2 BSDS

    Not everything that resides in a BSDS can be printed via this utility. However several items are stored in the BSDS that we need to go to several other places to get the information
