Reflect the actual count of objects returned from using the SARG command

I have used panel ADB21K and the count as an example below, but the misleading count occurs on other panels when you have used the SARG panel to filter. On panel ADB21K, I have 117 packages listed against a table. The count is shown at the top rig...

Requesting a better functionality to move devices to/from different groups. A "move" option would greatly benefit admins with promptly moving devices. As of right now, in order to move a device, if placed in an incorrect group, device must be remo...

DDL command doesn't generate comment

Table comments not displayed. The workaround is to query the catalog directly. The / command to show sysibm.systables does show a portion of the comment but not in it's entirety. Affected users are anyone using DDL command in Db2 Adminstrati...

Object search screen - lengthen space for object names

Currently, the length of a table name or similar object is limited to 18 characters. This is an outdated standard since Db2 can accept much longer names. The pain point is that it's difficult to view or search for tables and impossible to copy/pas...

Ability to execute more than one ALTER TABLESPACE statement at a time on Statement Execution Prompt screen

If we want to alter a series of tablespaces in a database, for example to move them to another bufferpool, change the Close Rule, compress them, or set them to LOGGED/NOT LOGGED, in Db2 Administration Tool we have to set up and execute the ALTER T...

Sequence Object "end of range" Alert

We recently had a Production application fail because a Db2 sequence object reached the end of its range unexpectedly. This caused our web users to be unable to logon for a short period of time. DBAs are implementing external tooling to monitor se...

PAGENUM option for Admin Tool Mask

DROP Aliases listed with a single DROP command

Hello IBM In Panel ADB21A you can list ALIASES and there are some line commands. One of them is DROP. In some cases our DBA would need to drop a whole bunch of ALIASES at a time. And it is quite uncomfortable to acknowledge all of DROP one by on...

When using Exclude for Target/Source and there is a mask, GOC should require only Target.

The application of the same exclude on SRC and TGT is going to be useful only in scenarios where the customer has a mask and wants to exclude the same objects on both SRC and TGT. In the case of only wanting to partially exclude either a SRC or a ...
