Add metrics to distinguish between a real active DBAT and a "cached" DBAT if High Performance DBAT is used

If High Performance DBAT is activated there is no flag in -DIS THREAD or in IFCIDs to distinguish between a real active DBAT (processing work) or a "chached" DBAT waiting for work. In a high volume environment as in our shop, it is critical to ide...

Usage of Reoptimization for remote applications with DB2 Profiles

Provide a default PLAN_TABLE and DSN_STATEMENT_CACHE_TABLE

If we use the CURRENT EXPLAIN MODE special register more widely, we have to create either a PLAN_TABLE and a DSN_STATEMENT_CACHE_TABLE or an ALIAS for each user. If we forget it, it doesn't work. So if there would be a default table for both, all ...
