Track SHRLEVEL info in Utilities history

In Db2 13 utility execution can be recorded in one or two utilities history tables. We are struggling to find all utility executions ran with SHRLEVEL NONE to tell the applications to change their parameters to avoid problems. It is very hard to find this information today, if even possible. Therefore we suggest that the SHRLEVEL used is recorded in utilities history tables.

Another use-case for the information is to easily find this information if we have concurrency problem, instead of having to look up every single job execution. We could probably even find it by joining the tables to for example Omegamon tables with deadlock and timeout information.

    I agree strongly with this idea. Our shop standard is for all utilities to be run as SHRLEVEL CHANGE whenever possible. But trying to identify utilities, such as REORG, which have been run with SHRLEVEL NONE or SHRLEVEL REFERENCE, does not seem to be possible by looking at SYSIBM.SYSCOPY. Registering the SHRLEVEL for all utilities, even if it's for informational purposes, would be extremely helpful.
