IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Post ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea

Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests

The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The product management team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

make OSREQ (=OAM) calls work in Db2 STORED PROCEDURES which have a PACKAGE PATH

OSREQ=OAM calls are officially supported to be done in Db2 Stored Procedures. But this does not work, if the Db2 Stored Procedure is defined with a "PACKAGE PATH". I think this is, because OAM functions operate with and set different COLLECTIONS (CBRHTBSV, GROUPxx) but an existing PACKAGE PATH takes precedence over PACKAGESETS; therefore a changed PACKAGESET is ignored and leads to a -805 or similar. Currently, the approach to sucessfully call OSREQ (OAM) in Storded procedures demands OAM Packages to be bound in application collections (or reset the PACKAGESET etc.). If OSREQ/OAM would work in Db2 Stored Procedures with PACKAGE PATH, the Db2 Stored Procedure could be defined with a entire but segregated, correct and least scope of collection, etc. set of package-collections. I'm not sure, whether the current status comes down to a software defect or is lack of functionality; for the latter I'd like to submit it as idea here.

    Hello Josef, The Db2 for z/OS team has reviewed this enhancement request and would like to know you can update this idea with an example of a stored procedure that makes the OAM calls, how the CURRENT PACKAGESET is set (before calling the stored proc or inside the stored proc itself), and which collection ID is the OAM package is bound with. Also include the DDL statement for that stored procedure with the PACKAGE PATH keyword and its value.

    PACKAGE PATH (or CURRENT PACKAGE PATH) is higher than CURRENT PACKAGESET in precedence rule. So PACKAGE PATH, when specified for a stored proc, will be used to search for packages in the stored procedure's execution. Can you include the the collection IDs (CBRHTBSV, GROUPxx) in the stored procedure's PACKAGE PATH as well?

    Thank you,

    The Db2 for z/OS team
