    For most Index on Expression uses we've been able to just include the function as part of the index without any extra changes involved. Such as with the column UPPER(colname). Just create the index with that option. However SOUNDEX requires that y...

    Add TCPIP DROP to CANCEL THREAD FORCE to clear orphan threads from DB2 incase of TCPIP abend

    Visual C++ 2013 EOS

    TS016714232 We've noticed that Visual C++ 2013 is a built-in component in Symphony package. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-symphony/7.3.0?topic=configurations-software-included-spectrum-symphony This has been EOS just since April 2024. So wh...
    about 2 years ago in Spectrum Symphony / Version 7.3 1 Future consideration

    For Db2 z/OS, we need to have a way to find only the committed data present in tables for which we have set AFTER triggers in Db2 and also to have a unit of work ID to identify the commit scope for multiple changes that an occur as part of a single commit. This will enable us to have an efficient mechanism for integration with other applications and software such as IBM zDIH.

    It will enable to modernise our heritage applications and enable to expose our data with modern interface quickly.

    Stop of utilities during migration except for SYSADM

    During Migration it would be nice to turn off all utilities through a DB2 issued online command except for utilities submitted by SYSADM. This would guarantee that utilities would not be able to run during the migration on any datasharing member b...

    Enhancement request to turn off DB2 security

    Could we get a ZPARM that allows the deactivation of DB2 security in favor of a security product (ie. RACF). It would be nice if RACF was the ONLY authoritative source for security requests. Currently if a result isn't returned by RACF, DB2 checks...

    Give the option to make an index "invisible" to DB2

    Sometimes, when I have added and index, I have had some surprises in the optimizer using that index when it should not. I would like a quick way to make the index "invisible" to the optimizer and make it not eligible for access paths until I speci...

    SQL DI - include percentile numbers on Data statistics tab post Analyze Data

    this is for SQL DI, not sure if I should have raised this under the DB2 for zOS product. In SQL DI workflow we train the model on a table and then post that we can choose the 'Analyze Data' option. If we then go to the Data Statistics tab we are p...
