Need a mon_get table function that can monitor progress of rollback

Currently the user can only monitor rollback progress using snapshot:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.mon.doc/doc/c0023374.html

The user needs a way to monitor the same with table function in a SQL.

    They are not the same thing.


    The customer want to monitor the progress of a rollback for a specific application

    $ db2 +c "insert into test1 select * from test1"

    DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.

    $ db2 +c "insert into test1 select * from test1"

    DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.

    $ db2 +c "insert into test1 select * from test1"

    DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.

    [db2v11@crackly1 ~]$ db2trc on -debug DB2.SQLP.sqlpWriteToLog.entry -suspend -passno 4

    Trace is turned on

    $ db2 rollback <<< blocked there


    snapshot can get the rollback progress:

    $ db2 get snapshot for application AGENTID 73


    Application Snapshot


    Application handle = 73

    Application status = Rollback Active

    Start Time = 2022-12-13 17:46:46.416698

    Completed Work = 432 bytes

    Total Work = 444 bytes

    ...


    However, SNAPUTIL_PROGRESS return nothing for this rollback:


    db2 "SELECT UTILITY_ID, PROGRESS_TOTAL_UNITS, PROGRESS_COMPLETED_UNITS,

    DBPARTITIONNUM FROM SYSIBMADM.SNAPUTIL_PROGRESS"


    UTILITY_ID PROGRESS_TOTAL_UNITS PROGRESS_COMPLETED_UNITS DBPARTITIONNUM

    ----------- -------------------- ------------------------ --------------


    0 record(s) selected.

    Hi. Have you looked into this link to see if it can be used: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/11.5?topic=views-snap-get-util-progress-progress-snapshot


    SNAP_GET_UTIL_PROGRESS table function

    The SNAP_GET_UTIL_PROGRESS table function returns the same information as the SNAPUTIL_PROGRESS administrative view, but allows you to retrieve the information for a specific database on a specific database member, aggregate of all database members or all database members.

    Used in conjunction with the SNAP_GET_UTIL table function, the SNAP_GET_UTIL_PROGRESS table function provides the same information as the LIST UTILITIES SHOW DETAIL CLP command.
