Publish the DSNTIJPM and DSNTIJPM members at the IBM site

There is people still running with Db2 V12, and probably without access to the V13 sotware. I think that could really be a benefit for them to be able to easily access to the Premigration Queries. Adding the DSNTIJPE and DSNTIJPM sources to the IB...

Allow Secondary AUTHID and Patterns in AUTHID column of the RLF tables

In order to make administration of the RLF tables easier, we would like to be able to enter a Secondary Authid or an ID Pattern. Secondary AUTHIDs would allow us to use definitions in the Security Manager to accommodate resource limits for many ID...

IFCID 402 support for more than 50 unique user profiles like IFCID 365, 411 and 412

The critical issue is that IFCID 402 uniquely lacks the continuation flag essential for identifying continuation records within a single interval, a feature consistently present in other DDF-related IFCIDs (365, 411, 412). This omission significan...

Allow Encrypted Connection for IBM Debug Tool and Unified Debugger

Joining a temporal table with an archive-enabled table

In DB2 z/OS V11.1, we getting a -20555 SQLCODE when trying to join a temporal table with an archive-enabled table. We were surprised to see it didn't work. The manual talks about those tables being “mutually exclusive”, which to me would mean ...
