    Issue command DISPLAY DB CLAIMERS on a LOAD SHRLEVEL NONE when DRAIN fails in UTILINIT phas

    We faced situations in which LOAD SHRLEVEL NONE jobs abends with S04E and Reason Code 00C200EC during UTILINIT phase. When this abends occurs, LOAD was unable to DRAIN all the claimers, once it is SHRLEVEL NONE, before beggining LOAD data into tab...

    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...

    Enable dropping tablespace partitions without changing to data capture none

    With the ability to convert tablespaces from PBR to PBG and back, we are now able to drop partitions in both PBRs and PBGs. However, this requires that we switch off data capture on the table for the duration of the change.As we are using CDC to r...

    Request for a new Count authority in Db2

    Normally a lot of organisations have production and customer data not visible to the DBA authority without some kind of enhanced access. For quite a few implementations and production support tasks DBAs or even application support staff are only p...
    4 months ago in Db2 for z/OS 1 Not under consideration

    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...

    RID problem instrumentation improvement

    The IFI 2 & 3 fields QISTRLLM and QISTRPLM and the RID fields in the 316 and 401 are all basically “useless” these days to actually detect a RID related limit problem. I know that the QXRFMIAP is available in the IFI 2 & 3 but it is needed...

    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.

    Enhance DSNJU008 LIST CDDS output to also list the number of tablespaces maintained in the CDDS

    DSNJU008 LIST CDDS today lists the number of dictionaries contained in the CDDS. Example: “DICTIONARY RECORDS PRINTED 123”. This could be 1 dictionary of 123 tablespaces, or 41 tablespaces with 3 dictionaries for each (41 * 3 = 123). We would like...
