Db2 Log Analysis Tool for z/OS

Showing 12

Add Ability to Generate Report Showing INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE Activity by AUTHID

Please add the ability to generate a report that can summarize INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE activity by AUTHID. This would look similar to a summary report, but instead of reporting counts by table, it would be by AUTHID. It seems currently the only way t...

Avoid potential data loss in time intervals containing PIT ranges

If you want to create REDO SQL for a time interval, and there is a PIT range somewhere in this interval, Log Analysis Tool (LAT) will print this informational message ""ALAA156I: LOG RECS BYPASSED DUE TO PIT RECOVERY". The job will end with "RC=00...

Add Option to Migrate Datasets that were Recalled as Part of a Scan

Please add an option so a user can specify that the LAT job submitted migrates any datasets (thinking archive log datasets here) that it had to recall to complete the scan. An example would be where a user attempts to scan multiple days in the pas...

Add Ability to Generate BIND Statements for Inadvertently Freed Packages

We are looking for the Log Analysis Tool to have the ability to find packages that have been dropped (which it can do already) and use this information to generate BIND statements to more or less undo the freeing of said packages. This could be se...

First of all please include Log Analysis for red hat in your Product pick list. Second, I have successfully implemented role-based access control (RBAC) for Log Analysis. The development team sent me instructions. I would like to see this RBAC in a future release

We operate in a multi-tenant environment. Users do not want to see (or in some cases not permitted to see) events unrelated to their roles. IBM developers have come up with an ingenious way to implement RBAC for Log Analysis.

How can the objects be reported on when doing a QUIET TIME report using CORRID.

Using Quiet Time to recover objects for a CORRID. The report only has the available quiet times, but not the objects that were updated and need to be recovered. Need to run a summary report to get the objects.

Support column level filters in SQL

LAT supports filtering on column level in detail reports, but the filter criteria is coded in a proprietary syntax that does not support SQL constructs (e.g. IN list). We use it to specify column level filters in SQL Syntax in our current tool. We...

Reformat the SYSCOPY Report in INFOM ddname to be a single line instead of two lines

I would also like to see this on one line. Takes up too much vertical space. This would also be more readable with a columnized report. ICTYPE STYPE TTYPE OTYPE DSNUM LDSNUM HDSNUM LOGGED INSTANCE ------ ----- -------- ----- ----- ------ ------ --...
