    Break-In for Mass-delete

    Enhance the break-in-process so that it also applies for mass deletes and that these deletes can break in into PWFI-transactions bound with RELEASE(DEALLOCATE).

    Allow reset of all High Water Mark Statistics values

    Currently some statistics HWM values are not reset while Db2 is active - e.g. Q3STCTHW. Consequently a transient event can hide a long term situation. This idea would allow those statistics to be re-set to zero - allowing performance management to...

    Provide capability to set DSSIZE for implicitly created LOB Auxiliary Tablespaces

    Currently an implicitly created LOB Auxiliary TS DSSIZE is set to 4G and does not adhere to the zparm IMPDSSIZE or the base TS DSSIZE. We would like the capability to influence the default DSSIZE for LOBs.This would also make it consistent with th...

    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...

    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...

    Db2 To Provide A Way To Override Certain Implicit Table Space Parameters Default Values

    TSYS has QMF applications running in 6 UAT and Production Db2 environments. There are approximately 2,600+ client users running QMF queries and procs for their applications in those Db2 environments. Many of the users are creating temporary tables...

    IBM Enterprise COBOL / Db2 coprocessor - Validate Db2 cursor names at compile time

    Hi, The IBM Enterprise COBOL compiler supports the translation of Db2 statements (delegating them to the compiler's integrated coprocessor).These Db2 statements can reference read cursors, and cursors have an identifier. We noted that only the EXE...

    Reduce shutdown time - allow for reduction of Db2 footprint before STOP DB2

    As the Db2 footprint on our mainframe systems has increased (larger bufferpools, larger GBPs, more open datasets), one of the challenges we have faced is that Db2 takes longer to shut down. Our shop has recently focused on reducing down-time and i...

    Prevent VPSIZE(0) Bufferpool When Objects Exist

    The idea would be to have a restriction or rule in place to prevent an alter bufferpool to VPSIZE(0) when objects exist. Setting it to zero when unintended can cause major problems.

    Reorg Shrlevel CHANGE for Tables with Index on Expression Index

    Currently a REORG shrlevel CHANGE is not possible on UTS tablespaces which have an expression Index (Index on Expression) defined to them. the message below gets issued: DSNU076I DSNURFIT - KEYWORD=SHRLEVEL CHANGE INVALID FOR EXPRESSION-BASED INDE...
