    We are looking for a profile that can monitor both active and inactive connections (CONDBAT). This profile exists and it is MONITOR CONNECTIONS, but it only allows LOCATION as a filtering option. We would like to request AUTHID be added as a filter option. This is needed as we have some Application Developers that do not close their connection when done reading DB2 on z/OS data from a distributed application. They continue to create new active threads while they unused threads go inactive. Eventually the application will consume all available connections allowed (CONDBAT) for a DB2 subsystem (or datasharing group) causing outages to other more well behaved applications. LOCATION as a filter does not work for us for distributed applications that reside on a Kubernetes POD.

    Profile monitoring - be able to limit the numbers of users accessing DB2 through DDF by setting up limits by AUTHID.

    DSNTEP2/4 should issue Timestamp before and after SQL statement execution, or even better the delta ow long a SQL statement needs

    If a lot of SQL statements are executed in one job and step, it is very difficult to find the SQL which takes the long time. IFCID traces on DB2 must be started to neil this down. OR another example is the fact that e.g. the first ALTER in a seque...

    Make predicate "numcol IN (:hv1, :hv2)" indexable where :hv1 and :hv2 are char variables and numcol is numeric.

    Db2 already supports numcol = :hv1 as indexable where :hv1 is a char variable and numcol is numeric.

    SQL Tuning Services: Invoking Tuning Report with URL containing the JobID – alternative to randomly generated URL

    We know how to work with the „JobResult“ API today. This gives us access to the original access pathes as long as the meta data and EXPLAIN data is available. But we consider the handling difficult - especially when communicating with developers. ...

    If a Db2 database is in RO mode at database level and you issue a -STA DB(DBName) SP(TSName) ACCESS(RW) command via batch, it outputs "DSNTDDIS 'START DATABASE' NORMAL COMPLETION" which is misleading because the table still cannot be loaded therea...
