Db2 for z/OS

    Showing 1067

    Supply RACF Exit IRREVX01 to fail commands against Db2 classes that don't have the proper syntax.

    As encountered in Case TS013914362, invalid profiles would not be created that could leave unused records in the RACF data base and also confuse Db2 when RACF notifies Db2 to refresh the cached profiles. All Db2 for z/OS users utilizing RACF could...

    BIFs ENRYPT_DATAKEY and DECRYPT_DATAKEY* should be able to check with user ID of ACEE

    The BIFs ENRYPT_DATAKEY and DECRYPT_DATAKEY* are very useful for encrypting and decrypting data (e.g., passwords) that are to be stored in DB2 tables. The programmer does not have to worry about the keys used, as they are stored in the ICSF. When ...

    Invalid maximum timestamp value availble in DB2

    Currently there is documented maximum timestamp value available in DB2 as '9999-12-31-24.00.00.000000'. However, using this value can lead to various problems which are recognized by DB2 development already as during introduction of temporal table...

    Log offload task needs to be manually cancelled restarted after outage to tape

    We are seeing situations when tape processing is down and a DB2 request to offload logs to tape is initiated using dynamic allocation, that offload task will hang and never be satisfied until the offload task is cancelled and re-driven manually. T...

    RENAME function for tablespaces

    the availability of the conversion of multi-table-tablespaces to UTS-PBG tablespaces is restricted to non-UTS tablespaces (source object). I would like to use this functionality to RENAME a tablespace (when the source is already a UTS-PBG TS) - bu...

    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 ...

    Allow Encrypted Connection for IBM Debug Tool and Unified Debugger

    Reviewing the connection with the Db2 Unified debugger, it was determined it was not using an encrypted port. All tools (mainframe or otherwise) should support full encryption over ATL-TLS.

    Add support for CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW syntax

    I've seen that Db2 LUW and other types of databases support the syntax to do CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW. This can be useful as you don't have to have a separate statement to drop a view before rerunning a create statement. I had a new DB2 DBA on our t...
