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

Population of V12 new added Catalog columns during activation of Function level V12R1M50 and avoid it later during executions of ALTER TABLESPACE because of contention of packages.

After you apply the PTF for APAR PI86123, the first ALTER TABLESPACE, populates any null attributes for objects created in function level V12R1M100 or earlier. When the one-time population occurs for an ALTER TABLESPACE statement, Db2 must quiesce...

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...

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.

Ability to copy an existing monitoring profile

It would be nice to be able to create a new monitoring profile from an existing one then modify it to meet our needs. This option is available in Data Server Manager but not in DMC.

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 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...

Show altered Sequence value in Db2 Catalog

Currently the next value of a sequence can not be easily retrieved from the catalog after a ALTER SEQUENCE command (without retrieving it and increasing it at the same time). Especially when moving from one environment to another it is important t...
