Make DB2_USE_ALTERNATE_PAGE_CLEANING=ON the default

DB2_USE_ALTERNATE_PAGE_CLEANING is of great benefit for performance and scalability since it was introduced in v8. It's now the default in pureScale and BLU environments, so why can't we make it the default all around?

DMC stats event monitoring needs to consider built-in wlm_collect_int

DMC WLM Statistics collection is completely independent of wlm_connect_int built-in functionality. This behavior is not ideal, as the database could have been configured for that already, and the final result is that you end up with 2 independent ...

JDBC driver parameter to compress LOB/XMLs to reduce network overhead

Enable HA/failover functionality at instance level or for groups of databases
