    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...

    Enable DSNTIAUL to generate NUMRECS in the punchdataset

    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.

    Support re-deploy of the same package when packageversion=false

    we found out after the removal of a package from the cluster, there is no easy way to add such package back to rs. we should support add a package back if it has the same checksum, otherwise this will be an operational risk for us.
