Db2 Utilities Suite for z/OS

Be able to ALTER the partitioning key of a UTS PBR

Currently if the partitioning key needs to be changed this involves a UNLOAD/DROP/CREATE/LOAD which is disruptive. This needs to be changed to ALTER REORG.

Idea For Limited Partition Locking for RI Related Objects

Lock just the partitions of related objects using a cascaded key structure when utilities are used to write to the database. Allows Db2 RI use to coexist with utility operation when it is impractical to lock all partitions of parents and children.

Materialize changes through partition rotation

We have some large tables that need to be updated from time to time. Each time a partition is rotated it is reset, so I think that could allow the table/tablespace change to be materialize. This would allow use to save the time and processing cost...

Enhance DSNACCOX for Index Page Splits

We use DSNACCOX to trigger reorgs för tablespaces and indexes regularly. In Db2 13 new columns are added to SYSINDEXSPACESTATS to track index page splits. If a certain number of index page splits has occured since the last reorg of the index the i...

Eliminate Reorgs failing with S513 & IEC146I 513-04 when reorging LOBs

The cause of the S513 error is due to the DB2 reorg utility trying to write two image copies in parallel (one for BASE and one for LOB) when a BASE UTS with LOB TS is being REORG’d and the specified template for image copy datasets has the STACK Y...

REORG Option to set Return Code for drain failure or deadline

At present we have to manually intervene every time a REORG fails with a DRAIN FAIL or DEADLINE hit, because the job finishes with RC8. However, these scenarios are both common and expected BAU situations - so we would like to handle them automati...

No Implicit Runstats when running Reorg that materializes pending DDL

When a REORG is run to materialize a pending DDL change, the REORG enforces an inline statistics (RUNSTATS) even though no statistics keywork is added to the REORG statement/card. it defaults to TABLE(ALL) INDEX(ALL). This obviously can impact acc...

Parameter for RECOVER utility to avoid invalidation of RTS-information

We would like a parameter (e.g. KEEP_RTS) for the RECOVER utility to indicate that real-time statistics should not be set to NULL. After a RECOVER we need to run a REBUILD of any indexes that have not been recovered, and the REBUILD utility uses R...
