Authorization Switching for ADMIN_COMMAND_DB2 and DSNUTILU

ADMIN_COMMAND_DB2 and execution of DSNUTILU need to have the capability to allow for authorization switching. Our developers and application production support teams need to be able to cancel threads relevant to the jobs they support vs having to reach out to an on-call DBA. This impacts their batch windows anytime they have to wait for DBA support. Their batch cycle is in the thousands of jobs, and any delay can impact SLA's. In addition, due the the emphasis on protecting PII data, our offshore DBA teams need to be able to execute the DSNUTILU stored procedure to run DBA utilities without access to PII data. Currently there is no feasible implementation of existing grant privileges in DB2 z/OS that provides this access.

    Dear Lori, Please accept our apologies for modifying the status of this idea to Delivered. This was caused by some internal tooling automation and is an error. I have modified the status value to its prior status.

    Kind regards,

    The Db2 for z/OS team

    Dear Lori,

    Thank you for submitting this Db2 for z/OS enhancement request. We have reviewed this request and believe it is a good candidate for the Db2 for z/OS product. However, it does not align within functionality prioritized for delivery within the next 12 months. Therefore, unfortunately, we will not be considering this idea at this time.

    This idea will remain in our product backlog and may be revisited as we continue to plan for later features and functions.

    We appreciate your input to the Db2 for z/OS development team. We hope that you will continue to submit enhancement suggestions for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of Db2 for z/OS.

    Sincerely,

    The Db2 for z/OS Team
