Status Not under consideration
Workspace Db2 for z/OS
Created by Guest
Created on Jun 3, 2024

When DB2 writes a message to the DB2 Log, DB2 could also optionally write the contents of the message to a new IBM Catalog Table SYSIBM.DB2_Messages or a user defined table.

WHY THIS IS A GOOD IDEA

 

Many of our DB2 subsystems and members remain active for several months or more.

 

Searching for a DB2 Message can take a long time in SDSF when analysing and diagnosing problems.

 

Having all of the DB2 Messages in a Table makes it very easy to find the messages which were happening around a particular time.

 

This also allows analysts to find patterns and contexts for when something seemingly unusual happens.

    Dear Robert,

    Thank you for submitting this Db2 for z/OS enhancement request.

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that this would be useful, however, we have higher priority items scheduled for our upcoming 12 month roadmap and consequently, we will not be implementing this request. We will keep it in our backlog, however.

    We appreciate your input to the Db2 for z/OS development team. We also hope that you will continue to submit ideas 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
