Identify when all members of a Data Sharing Group are up and operational

After a crash or hard down, Db2 will perform its recovery processing including GRECP and LPL processing. There are external systems (e.g. CICS, MQ, etc.) that are dependent on all members in the data-sharing group to be fully up and operational an...

Link FLA messages to auto recovery task id

We did a large GRECP recovery test with around 68.000 GBP dependend objects. After restart and the automatic GRECP recovery we see a lot of DSNI025I, DSNI026I, DSNI027I, DSNI028I and DSNI029I messages as expected, but they have no correlation to t...

Object should go into advisory reorg when PCTFREE, PCTFREE for update, FREEPAGE is altered instead of immediate alter to have the REORG pick it up and ensure it is done. Having it immediate is just a catalog update and it might be missed.

When Altering PCTFREE, PCTFREE for UPDATE or FREEPAGE, the DB2 catalog is updated and the DBA must ensure a reorg is run to materialize the change. A process that can be missed. I would like to see this as a pending change and have the reorg pick ...

IFCID 366/376: include SQL text in the trace records

The analysis of IFCID 366/376 is done via SMF records. When these records are available (one day delay), it is nearly impossible to match the statement ID to a statement in dynamic statement cache, because the statement might be already discarded....

REORG TABLESPACE REBALANCE option to leave some partitions empty

Drop STP SQL with dependency of other STP SQL type NATIVE

We have a general purpose StoredProcedure (STPX1) that is called by other native StoredProcedures (STPA1, STPA2, STPA3, etc) that have CALL statements to STPX1, If I need DROP the STP STPX1 (for recreate later) I receive the error -478 for depende...

Changing partitioning key columns

Most of our tables that are created before DB2 V8 (and even some created later than that) uses the primary key as the partitioning key. The resulting partitioning key therefore consists of many columns, but the significant columns for partitioning...
