    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...

    Provide a threshold for the number of incidents caused by a single holder for message DSNT376I.

    Availability and stable systems are very important to us (as they are for most users of DB2 for Z). Recently, I implemented a process that automatically terminated any process that shows up as the holder for a specific number (threshold) of DSNT37...

    Alter-support for global variables

    With DB2 V11 global variables were introduced, but unfortunately no alter-option to change the default. This would be especially beneficial it this enhancement would also include the system-provided global variables. With this enhancement each cus...

    Increase messaging detail after STOP Db2 to provide shutdown status information.

    As Db2 continues to allow more and more capacity in a single subsystem - larger bufferpools, more open datasets, etc - the time to shut down Db2 continues to increase. Operational staff has complained repeatedly that they cannot tell whether Db2 i...

    I/O required for RI check against the parent table when inserts done on the child table.

    We have noticed that there is a high number of get pages on the parents indexes when doing an INSERT of a child row. Here are the details of our situation: The parent table has a partitioned primary key index with 132 partitions. The...
