2G limitation in Db2 utility heap size allocation

If the number of buffers and buffer size are not user specified in the BACKUP DB command then Db2 limits the utility heap size allocation to 2G. Please remove this cap to allow for higher default allocation of the utility heap size which in turn s...

Update SYSMON_GROUP Authority to include privileges needed for db2top (and other monitoring type functions)

Revisit db2top and dcmtop access requirements to identify the basic monitoring features which require privileges above and beyond sysmon_group privileges and update Db2 to have the sysmon_group given all necessary permissions

Db2 HADR PEER status enhancement

We would like IBM to look into adding an additional HADR state once the database comes into PEER. In Db2 10.5, there is an additional parameter, STANDBY_RECV_REPLAY_GAP that can hold large amounts of transactions that need to be replayed due to th...

Db2 load ALLOW READ ACCESS support for column organized table

Currently, if a db2 load is happening on a column organized table, users are NOT able to read the data from same table until the load is finished. It's inconvenience for the customer and its users in their daily operation. Thus, the customer wants...

DB2 LUW Audit does not capture failed access attempts on restricted tables

Many customers have restricted tables where very few select users will have read/write access. These tables need to be monitored through various means to report all access attempts on the tables. DB2 audit is able to capture only the successful ac...

Automate SSL certificate refreshing after CP4D self-signed certificates are renewed (Db2, DV)

I think the SSL certificate refreshes for Db2 and Data Virtualization described below are about internal CP4D communication. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.0?topic=tddw-updating-db2-ssl-certificate-after-cloud-pak-data-self-si...

Support synchronous detachment of a table partition

Starting with DB2 9.7(?) the detachment of table partitions is handled asynchonously. To simulate synchronous behaviour a complicated work around has to be put in place. Such a behavior could be triggered by a new DML keyword such as ASYNC.

DB2 should use the HWM value instead of total allocation for restores on AUTO storage dbs

This is general problem for db2 restore with automatic storage environments. The redirected restore requires total space allocated on source DB tablespaces instead of traditional HWM space requirements. This increases the space requirements on the...

I'd like you to consider to add new stored procedure ADMIN_TASK_CANCEL ( like in the DB2 z/OS version https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2-for-zos/12?topic=db2-admin-task-cancel) in the next fix/mod/main version of DB2?

Because now I can't stop the running procedure scheduled via ATS unless I stop the instance manager.
