    Dear Sven, Thank you for submitting this Aha! Idea. Our Db2 for z/OS development team reviewed it and determined that they will be changing REPAIR DBD REBUILD handling of errors. Instead, here are options you can do:

    1. Query SYSPACKAGE for invalid trigger packages. Take whatever actions (application change, REBIND, etc.) are needed to ensure that trigger packages are valid.

    2. REPAIR DBD TEST/DIAGNOSE - If there are any errors, those errors should be addressed first before attempting a REBUILD.

    3. REPAIR DBD REBUILD - Should only perform this if a TEST/DIAGNOSE has been executed with no errors.

    4. Query invalidate trigger packages. If the trigger package cannot be rebound, then it is likely that the trigger OBD cannot be rebuilt.

    Please do continue to submit Db2 for z/OS enhancements to us as we review and consider each one for implementation to improve the Db2 for z/OS product functionality.

    Sincerely,

    The Db2 for z/OS Team
