    Authorization for DROP ALIAS for table or view

    We have sort of a CI/CD pipeline for Db2 objects. We sometimes get into trouble when we need to drop an alias for a table or view. To do that you need ownership of the alias or a high privilege. Ownership cannot be changed for aliases without drop...

    Enhancement of compression algorithm used by DB2

    We have noticed that the compression ratio (PAGESAVE) for first partition of a Partitioned TS is 0% after running an IBM Reorg Utility. The reason why PAGESAVE/compression ratio for that first Partition is 0% is caused because many initial rows in...

    DSNB328I to be issued when all attempts to automatically recover GRECP are exhausted in all scenarios

    During DR testing on several occassions the DBAs at Walmart have found that there are circumstances where neither DSNB328I nor DSNB317I are issued and Db2 z/OS has exhausted all tries to automatically recover GRECPs. In these scenarios they were s...

    Return SQL error when DBA attempts ALTER DDL with both pending and immediate changes, instead of returning "0" and "losing" a change.

    Allow Multiple Dataset Inputs to DSN1PRNT

    DSNTIJXZ should create complete DSNTIDxx member

    DSNTIJXZ currently produces a DSNTIDxx member that has a lot of default values, like BSDS name, WLM environments, etc. To be really useful, all relevant values need to be extracted from the running system in order to avoid hunting down actual valu...

    Db2 for z/OS: Change SETCURRENTVERSION via Reorg

    Now, the Repair Utility with option SETCURRENTVERSION has to be used, to change all v0 tables to the highestVersion. Unfortunately this action is not concurrent. It would be better to have the the opportunity to do that with an online reorg.
