    Db2 13 Function level 500 introduces the online conversion of tables from growth-based (PBG) to range-based (PBR) partitions. The conversion alter is pending DDL applied by the REORG TABLESPACE utility. There is a need to also convert one or more ...

    Improve Space Search Performance for Nearly Full PBR

    Currently, when there are many concurrent inserts on a PBR which is nearly full, CPU and elapsed time for inserts increases by many orders of magnitude, to the point where it can completely monopolize the CPU on an LPAR. In past discussions, I was...

    Write Failed Lock Escalation Attempts to Master

    Currently, when Lock Escalation succeeds, a message is written to the Master Log with details. However, when a Lock Escalation attempt fails (due to a timeout or deadlock), nothing is written. This sort of timeout or deadlock can be difficult to d...

    the SYSPACKAGE's column "lastused" needs to update more frequently

    Hi IBM, As you see below in description of "lastused" column on SYSIBM.SYSPACKAGE, the updated must be done "whenever" the package is used but it's not true, so due to this doubt that we have when we saw that this column was not updated after pack...

    Partial PBG REORG for added Partitions due to previous PART LEVEL REORGs

    When I run a PART LEVEL REORG of a PBG tablespace and the current data doesn't fit into its original partition DB2 adds a new partition at the end and uses it for the "overflow" data. Which is fine, btw.... If i do this for multiple partitions, se...

    DB2 enhancement for REUSASID=YES

    Please add functionality for REUSASID=YES to DB2 product. REUSASID=YES is not currently supported by DB2 z/OS. Since DB2 does not support REUSASID=YES, the ASID is not reusable until IPL.

    Rotate an archive-enabled PBR tablespace without causing a deadlock

    When we try to rotate partitions of an archive-enabled PBR tablespace, Db2 requires us to disable archiving before the rotate then re-enable archiving after the rotate. However, when we re-enable archiving we cause a deadlock with CICS and the onl...

    Enhance DPfD support so that statement cache, thread storage, DDF Comms buffers and any other areas that may contain SPI data are marked as eligible for redaction

    We tried DPfD (Db2 APAR PH15940) but found that an SVC dump of Db2 still contained SQL statements in the dynamic statement cache after redaction (using BLSJDPFD). We appreciate that bufferpools are redacted, but we are concerned that SPI may be ca...

    I would like an easy way to validate that a bound query is used to hint a dynamic query

    Today, it is easy to validate that a bound query is used as a hint to a static query. After all, there is a column updated in PLAN_TABLE when the package is bound that exploits the bound query. But, it becomes difficult to know if a dynamic query ...

    Replacing data in Archive Enabled Tables using LOAD

    In most tables data can be replaced using LOAD RESUME NO REPLACE. In Archive Enabled Tables it cannot. We want to use LOAD REPLACE to replace the existing data instead of having to delete the current data and then load with RESUME YES. The old dat...
