    REORG TABLESPACE WHERE LIMITKEY BETWEEN X and Y

    With the ADD PART and ROTATE, the logical and physical partitions on a tablespace can be out of ORDER. Current REORG at PART Level is for physical partitions, and requires DBA to search catalog to find all required PARTS.

    I would like to force the use of the "DEFER" option on the creation of an index (using Zparm to make it optional).

    We have DBAs that at times (accidently) run a "CREATE INDEX" and fail to include the "DEFER" option. This is rather easy to do because the reverse engineering tools fail to create syntax with the "DEFER" option. The creation of indexes can be very...

    Upgrade the .NET version to compile Platform.Symphony.Soam.NetCore_64.dll to 6.0.

    The dll Platform.Symphony.Soam.NetCore_64.dll is compiled with a .NET Framework version (5.0) that is not LTS and is no longer supported since May 10, 2022. This generates build-time alerts. If you can upgrade to version 6.0, that would be great.

    Message in *MSTR after 'STOP DB2 MODE(FORCE)' - command

    Message in *MSTR after 'STOP DB2 MODE(FORCE)' It would be very helpful for debugging and analysis if you would document an STOP DB2 MODE(FORCE) in the *mstr -joblog. In addition from my point of view the message 'DSN9022I <DBR2 DSNYASCP 'STO ...

    I would like to have an timeout in DB2 for SLB-processing!If HSM is in error it may be able to accept the Flashcopy-request but not to fulfill it. To prevent 00D70044 there should be an option for a DB2-internal timeout of SLB-processing.If this t...

    Provide a facility to track Db2 Command History

    A table that would record commands (like START/STOP, ), when they were executed, by whom, etc. Some commands (like DISPLAY) could be excluded. One Use Case would be to analyze why a tablespace might be in UT status when no utilities are running. A...
