RELATED IDEAS

Reference to the BSDS for example the full image copies of the CATALOG and DIRECTORY DB2 tablespaces which are not in SYSCOPY

There are several (4 in DB2 v12) catalog and directory tablespaces for which the full image copies are not referenced in the SYSCOPY.
Thus, during a DB2 cat/dir recovery (recovery exercise or other...) these FICs are searched directly in the DB2 logs, which can take a long time, depending on the volume of DB2 logs to be scanned...
In order to avoid this, would it not be possible to record these FICs in the BSDS for example associated with a zparm parameter which would set the retention of this information in the BSDS?
In case of a recovery in a REAL environment, it would save valuable time and reduce the downtime of DB2
Thank you for your interest in this idea.

    Dear Patrick, Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. Db2 has the capability to locate the SYSCOPY logs for these catalog/directory objects without doing an exhaustive scan of the logs. Please open a case for further investigation if you are seeing performance issue related to this locate/lookup operation.

    Sincerely,

    The Db2 for z/OS team
