Hello Janet,
That's really useful for QMF 13.1. We should be moving to it next year.
Thanks - Nic
Hello Nic, We are pleased to inform you that the QMF for TSO/CICS Version 13.1 product provided this function with the PTF for APAR PH56561.
Sincerely,
The Db2 for z/OS team
Hello Nic, I have shared your feedback with our SME and will let you know of any further updates. Thank you.
Hello Janet,
I couldn't agree more. When we have control of the BINDs that is exactly what we do.
However our pain point is when dealing dealing with 3rd Part Tools such as IBMs QMG classic product we don't have control of the Bind jobs. When applying maint to QMF we run the QMF supplied BIND jobs which BIND:
- mostly existing packages again
- one or two new packages
So as I said we have to find or create a quiet time to do these Binds.
There are other 3rd party products that do likewise.
It's not appropriate (or feasible) to modify there 3rd party scripting as some of the Binds commands are generateed and executed at runtime.
Thanks - Nic
Dear Nic, Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. The Db2 for z/OS development team reviewed it and provided the following feedback:
When your applications do not change SQL, we recommend REBIND instead of BIND ACTION(REPLACE).
We appreciate your input to the Db2 for z/OS development team. And 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,
Db2 for z/OS Team
