Db2 for z/OS

Showing 1005

REORG with a new keyword should transfer the page set work to DFDSS

Why is the above idea useful? Sometimes you need to move page sets around due to altering the HLQ, due to removing extents etc. These actions do not require an unload and reload of the data, because it is external stuff out of DB2 scope. For small...

ALTER STOGROUP can run in parallel to applications => Deferred ALTER

We need to move a lot of page sets and hence a lot of data from one z/OS catalog to another and also to other stogroups and volumes. For this task we nned to ALTER the hlq of the page sets and move them via DFDSS FASTREPLICATION. Unfortunately the...

REORG PREFORMAT of 1 TB page set should be interruptable

With PH64760 one can create 1TB page sets in one step. If one runs a REORG PREFORMAT on such large objects, the Media Manager Preformat task is not interruptable. Such a size of 1TB needs ~1.5hours to preformat the page set. In the meanwhile neith...

UDF INTERPRET should accept any CCSID

The built-in function INTERPRET added with FL505 should also support CCSIDs other than the CCSID of the Db2. For example, it should be possible to convert data in a Db2 with CCSID 1141 to CCSID 1141, provided the source data is defined with FOR BI...

RUNSTATS TABLESPACE on one TS partition scans all partitions of partitioned indexes

We encountered that the RUNSTATS on one TABLESPACE partition via RUNSTATS TABLESPACE ... PART or via LISTDEF INCLUDE TABLESPACE ... PARTLEVEL scans all partitions of a partitioned index. Therefore the runtime and the zIIP time of the jobs are extr...

Blocking Db2 connections to reduce the DSNL030I message flooding.

PTF delivery by IDEA DB24ZOS-I-1342 has already included the reduction of the DSNL030I message, it is working well for messages with REASON=00F3008* but the PTF does not include messages with REASON=00D30113 (invalid RACF ID), so these messages st...

COPY NO Indexes to be recorded in SYSLGRNX

It would be very helpful if ALL indexes are recorded in SYSLGRNX which will then open the possibility for a BACKOUT YES recovery for all TS+IX and avoid a potentially costly and long REBUILD INDEX for some very large tables and when backing out a ...

Eliminate x-locks on CREATE INDEX DEFER YES to improve concurrency

This is similar to DB24ZOS-I-1114 and DB24ZOS-I-1689. When attempting to create an index with CREATE INDEX DEFER YES, there should be no need to lock packages that are dependent on the table. Requiring an x-lock doesn't seem necessary. With phase-...

Db2 Developer Extension - Native Stored Procedure (NSP) edit in place, run and deploy from catalog listing

Currently to edit a native stored procedure, you have to make a copy of it and put it in a new file. We would like it to work like Data Studio where you can display the stored procedure in Data Source Explorer, right click and open with routine ed...
