    Enable DSNTIAUL to generate NUMRECS in the punchdataset

    The UNLOAD using DSNUTILB generates the NUMRECS parameter which makes the Allocation of Sort/Workdatasets for the Load utility very effective. Because some collegues use IKJEFT01 (DSNTIAUL) for unloading data, we tried to use NUMRECS here also. Bu...

    Enable create index during prime time

    We are running 24/7 banking applications and are unable to create an index during peak times. One reason for this behaviour might be APAR PK74729 resulting in a timeout for the create index command when packages are active. But we also get conflic...

    Online change of indexes

    We would like to be able to alter indexes as an online change, regardless of whether it is a duplicate index or a unique index (in the latter case it will often be the addition of include columns). We often have changes to indexes in connection wi...

    Add/improve support for JSON Publishing and Parsing functions

    Currently the JSON functions on DB2 z/OS are lagging behind other platforms (LUW, iSeries) by atleast 3-4 years. There is no support for building JSON document using functions like JSON_ARRAY, JSON_OBJECT, JSON_ARRAYAGG, JSON_OBJECTAGG which are a...

    Alters to objects that require reorg to material should be put into advisory reorg, such as PCTFREE

    If an alter is done to a TS to PCTFREE and a REORG is not run, then the catalog is updated but the change is not materialized. This results in the DBA thinking it was done, but it really wasn;t.

    Improve ALTER TABLE ROTATE PARTITION

    Currently ALTER TABLE ROTATE PARTITION only allows the ENDING value to be a constant, minvalue, or maxvalue. I would suggest adding the ability to generate DATES or TIMESTAMPS so that additional programming is not necessary to generate the ALTER s...

    Raise BUFND in DSNJLSR and associated log access modules

    Performance in all services which read log records from the log copies or from archive log, e.g. DSN1LOGP, RECOVER, Online REORG, BACKOUT processing, Db2 restart and probably some more. Tests were already done for the log access via DSNJLSR and th...

    Implement the same logic for TERMINATE Connection as for CREATE Connection (PH67087)

    We want to tune our MAXDBAT values based on workload related DBAT processing. But currently the counters like QDSTHWAT are overloaded by the TERMINATE connection processing. For CREATE Connection ther eis already an APAR which solves this problem ...
