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,
Post an idea
Upvote ideas that matter most to you
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.

Thank you very much Janet! Please keep me posted. Thanks, Emil.
Hello Emil, I assigned this Aha! Idea to one of our lead engineers in the migration area.
In the meantime, I see that we have documented the requirement for APAR PH37108 through the following external means:
IBM Documentation: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2-for-zos/13?topic=13-required-maintenance-db2-installation-migration
Db2 13 GA Announcement letter: https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?subtype=ca&infotype=an&appname=iSource&supplier=897&letternum=ENUS222-003
Db2 13 GA Program Directory: https://publibfp.dhe.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/i1355340.pdf
DB2-L discussion about the topic: https://www.idug.org/discussion/db2-13-migration-aha-idea
Correct, the APAR states: This APAR must be applied to all members of a data sharing group and Db2 12 must be started on all members before one of the members can be started with Db2 V13 to migrate the Db2 catalog. Non-data sharing Db2 subsystems must also run with this APAR on Db2 12 before attempting to migrate to Db2 V13.
I heard in a Db2 conference that FL 510 is no sufficient to upgrade to Db2 13 for z/OS, but that we also need SPE PH37108. Externalizing this info is a must!
