Status Not under consideration
Workspace Db2 for z/OS
Created by Guest
Created on Feb 28, 2022

Modify the DSNJU003 utility to allow it to define anything stored in the Db2 BSDS

When creating and new Db2 member, we must bring it all the way up before we can create the bufferpools, size them, and set the thresholds. We would like the ability to defined them prior to starting the Db2 member/subsystem.


When creating an alias for example for Integrated Synchronization for IDAA we need to issue the following commands.

"-MODIFY DDF ADD ALIAS(DP3GIDAA)"

"-MODIFY DDF ADD ALIAS(DP3GIDAA) PORT(5044)"

"-MODIFY DDF ADD ALIAS(DP3GIDAA) START"


For and new member we need to bring it up first and then issue the above commands.


Any BSDS entries that can be set up prior to starting a new member should be defined via the DSNJU003 utility.

    Dear Jeffrey, Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. The Db2 for z/OS team reviewed it and provided the following feedback:

    Although the development team can see the value in this request, there are no plans to deliver this capability in the near future and therefore this is being marked as not under consideration at this time.

    Please do continue to submit enhancement requests to us as we review each and every one to assess its value in improving the Db2 for z/OS product for our customers.

    Sincerely,

    The Db2 for z/OS Team
