Ability to stop AOT and other db2 tables on IDAA

When we STOP or start for UT ,spaces of tables that are loaded to IDAA or spaces that relate to AOT's, these spaces are still available for the IDAA. We can SELECT data from the IDAA for these tables and for AOT's' we can also update them. We need...

Replacing data in Archive Enabled Tables using LOAD

In most tables data can be replaced using LOAD RESUME NO REPLACE. In Archive Enabled Tables it cannot. We want to use LOAD REPLACE to replace the existing data instead of having to delete the current data and then load with RESUME YES. The old dat...

Better filter factors - use RI for this

The Db2/LUW optimizer has some algorithms that affect the optimization of queries on that platform based on the fact that RI is involved. But, Db2 for Z can calculate very incorrect filter factors that can be much more correct if Db2 enforced RI w...

Timestamps in system generated messages in STDERR in a java WLM.

The STDERR in a java WLM does not include a timestamp of when the message was written. It's hard to cross check the system message produced with an application issue.
