Allow use of REORG DISCARD for DSNDB06.SYSTSUTL

The SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES is going to require pruning -- and presumably SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS will as well. With row-level locking, doing a mass delete to purge unneeded history objects could become an issue with too many held locks and would likely r...

After PIT Recovery the RTS values are restored

Today some RTS statistics is lost after PIT Recovery. These statistics is necessary for other utilites like REORG, REBUILD or CHECK to calculate e.g. the correct SORTWKxx data set sizes. As we have very large objects, this behaviour lead to the co...

SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES should have a column containing the full text of the Db2 utility

Allow for Multiple Columns on LOAD INTO TABLE WHEN Criteria

We recently converted from BMC to IBM Db2 utilities. It would be very useful if multiple column names could be specified on the WHEN criteria for the Db2 LOAD utility. This would also make the functionality similar to the WHEN criteria of REORG WI...

Reorg Utility should leave objects in Status UTUT when victim of a Timeout of DBD01

Automatically Perform a Display with Claimers when Utilities Cannot Perform a Drain on an Object

We recently migrated from BMC Utilities for Db2 to IBM Utilities. One feature that is sorely missed is that when the BMC Utilities would fail to drain because other processes had a claim on the object, BMC Utilities would perform a display with cl...
