    Alter-support for global variables

    With DB2 V11 global variables were introduced, but unfortunately no alter-option to change the default. This would be especially beneficial it this enhancement would also include the system-provided global variables. With this enhancement each cus...

    Deliver DSNHBNFE from SDSNSAMP in EBNF format

    The DSNHBNFE member delivers a formal definition of the Db2 syntax in BNF format. However, tools like ANTLR can generate lexers/parsers automatically if the language is delivered in a EBNF format. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Backus%E2%8...

    Need a Db2 option to return control (and not wait) if the maximum number of threads is already reached

    We've seen cases in z/OS DFSMS OAM where the application invoking OAM can use up the available Db2 connections/threads so when OAM goes to process their request, there are no longer any threads available resulting in a deadly embrace. Typically th...

    Meter "dirty" pages written to DB2 table spaces (disk) from CF or local buffer pools

    DB2 uses 300 tasks (DB2 writers - it could be more now with later DB2 releases) to write modified (aka, "dirty") pages to the DB2 table spaces (either permanent tables or DB2 work files). From a DB2 perspective this is "efficient" but from a resou...

    Change Isolation Level to UR on Read-Only DBs / Tablespaces / Partitions

    Databases, Tablespaces, and Partitions can be started in Db2 in read-only (RO) mode. This allows user transactions to access data in these objects only for read (SELECT). Therefore no modification to this data can be made. However, when accessing ...

    Display Trace owner when OPx buffer used

    The -DISPLAY TRACE(*) command does not indicate which address space owns the trace when the destination is OPx. Since the OPx destination must be managed by some product/address space it would be helpful to know this. A typical scenario: The syspr...

    UDF INTERPRET should accept any CCSID

    The built-in function INTERPRET added with FL505 should also support CCSIDs other than the CCSID of the Db2. For example, it should be possible to convert data in a Db2 with CCSID 1141 to CCSID 1141, provided the source data is defined with FOR BI...

    Provide a new bind-option to provide values for the remark-column in SYSPACKAGE

    There were several discussions regarding APPLCOMPAT and providing a value that a customer can easily see that a package was bound a level down. This request was refused by DB2 development, but another solution was acceptable. A new bind option can...
