    Provide one Db2 message to indicate that GRECP and LPL recovery is complete across a Db2 data sharing group.

    We use automation to drive our disaster recovery processes to reduce the recovery time and remove human interaction. We have been running into issues with starting software products that require access to Db2 before it has completed GRECP and LPL ...

    Make Auto-start of PROFILE More Robust

    We have experienced PROFILE auto-start failure when the DB2 Recovery process was not complete. Hopefully, a change is made to the DB2 product to make auto-start succeed even in cases like that.

    Enhance RECOVERY utility to use information in a Safe Guarded Copy snapshot as recovery base for Db2 object level recovery

    We do a Safe Guarded Copy (SGC) every 2 hours. The ongoing value for SGC is for now primarily as an insurance for a CyberAttack by providing a last good copy. The idea is 'simply' - although I know there is likely nothing simple in this - to be ab...

    Reduce DSNB555I messages

    Hi, this idea is related case TS020701291 - Excessive number of DSNB555I messages. We are working for improve performance on DB2 applications and a important point is BufferPools with AUTOSIZE(Y) and PGFIX(Y), but we found that every WLM action se...

    Increase DSSIZE of SYSTSPKS in DSNDB06 (SYSIBM.SYSPACKSTMT) from 64 GB to 256 GB

    We just finished a clean-up of old, unused packages and did a reorg of SYSTSPKS in DSNDB06 (= Table SYSIBM.SYSPACKSTMT. According to RTS we still see a usage size of 28 GB (= 44.27 % of 64 GB size limit) for this tablespace in large development an...

    Allow alter column to drop NOT NULL constraint

    Currently the only way to remove the NOT NULL constraint from a column is to unload the table, drop-recreate table (or drop-add column) and reload table. Such a small change needs so much effort, and causes unnecessary outage and service disruptio...

    Enable dropping tablespace partitions without changing to data capture none

    With the ability to convert tablespaces from PBR to PBG and back, we are now able to drop partitions in both PBRs and PBGs. However, this requires that we switch off data capture on the table for the duration of the change.As we are using CDC to r...

    Add DSNL523I or DSNL519I for all available PORTs

    Currently at DB2 startup, or when DDF is started, a DSNL523I or DSNL519I message is issued for the main DB2 PORT, the main SECPORT, and RESORT. I would like the same to be done for all available LOCATION ALIAS PORTs so our automation can validate ...

    Support JSON_GET_POS_ARR_INDEX and JSON_UPDATE functions in Db2 z/OS

    For updating and searching in JSON objects which are stored in Db2 tables we need the JSON functions JSON_GET_POS_ARR_INDEX and JSON_UPDATE. They exist as a dummy in Db2 z/OS but are currently not supported, not documented and do not work. In Db2 ...

    Make IFI process zIIP eligible

    With more and more data being replicated off host, the replication tasks are increasingly using more and more CPU to read the logs. Allowing the IFI read process to be zIIP eligible would help reduce our general purpose CPU consumption. This would...
