Db2 for z/OS

remove restrictions on which value expressions can be used with like predicate

IBM Cognos has previously request DB2 Z to remove restrictions on what value expressions can be used in a like predicate. Those restrictions are not imposed by DB2 LUW or I and other vendors. The impact on IBM Cognos (and customers) is that busine...

New DB2OPT Parameter

Would like a DB2OPT parameter to specify/override the SECURITY attribute for API's like GET_CONFIG. Currently, it is defaulting to DEFINER in the DSNTIJRT job. We are having to ALTER it after-the-fact from DEFINER to USER.

VLDB - 358 Eliminate the need to define a set number of 32k and 4k tablespaces in the work file database

Instead of defining a set number of 4k and 32k tablespaces, it would simplify the process if we could allocate a set amount of space to the work database and allow DB2 to dynamically allocate the tablespaces as needed. As the page size requirement...

Deployment Of Native SQL Stored Procedures With Validate(Bind) Is Call Order Dependent

For DB2 V10 and V11. When NSPs are created with Validate(Bind), they have to be deployed in reverse call order or the the bind deploys will fail with a procedure not found error. If NSPs are created with Vaildate(Run) to get around this limitation...

Default value for DECLARED GLOBAL TEMPORARY Table

Current default for DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE is ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS. We would like to have the ability to change this via a zparm to ON COMMIT DROP TABLE so that we maximize our thread resuse.

Status RREPL can be removed via normal start

In DB2 V10, we can do a START RREPL to certify that only a replication product (in our case, qrep) can update the table. It's good, as today we need a trigger in the target table to have this. The problem is that with a single start RW this restri...

Seperation of DB2 latch 24 coutner in EDM pool and prefetch counter

EDM pool latch suspend cannot be recognized in the DB2 statistics latch 24 counter, because suspends for prefetch are also counted in this field. In the DB2 statistics IFCID 001 there are QVLS latch counters, which are reporting the number of susp...

Add CART to DSN3106I for trappable response

Add a CART token to the DSN3106I message from the DB2 subsystem. This allows the message to be trapped by console automation tools such as NetView pipelines. Without the CART, the automation process/clist will not be able to obtain the appropriate...
