Replication from Db2 to IDAA in a mixed scenario with Integrated Synchronization and IBM Loader

Update process so all new modules are delivered/maintaned by SMP instead of during deployment

SMP is a better way to manage and be aware of change. Having deployment processes creating them leaves more opportunity for them to become out of sync with the SMP delivered components.

We use RACF as our external security manager for Db2 authorizations. Using the “Privileges” tab shows the internal Db2 permissions. We have two issues with this functionality : 1) We consider this a security exposure. We do not allow anyone that s...

We have a very large table of data which we would like to take off of DB2. We have created an AOT and loaded it from DB2, but we have not been able to create a backup of the AOT. Without a backup we can not remove the table from DB2. This was repo...

Improve AOT backup performance

We're using IDAA loader V 2.1 to run backups for very huge AOTs. When IDAA loader takes a backup from an IDAA AOT it uses SQL multirow fetch to transfer the data from IDAA into a z/OS sequential file. This may work fine for small AOTs. But in our ...

Provide mechanism to see 'logged in' users

This is really a Zowe and UMS Idea but I couldn't find Zowe and we use Zowe in support of UMS. It would be very helpful prior to performing any changes requiring a shutdown to know if anyone is currently logged into UMS (and Zowe but since our use...
