Workspace Db2 Utilities Suite for z/OS

RELATED IDEAS

There should be a Db2 utility to delete rows from SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS and SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES

Currently there is no to delete rows from SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS and SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES and these tables will keep growing.

All sites with these tables enabled require this.

The utility could be an extension of the functionality of "MODIFY RECOVERY" with an new option to delete rows from SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS and SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES corresponding to SYSIBM.SYSCOPY rows based on the EVENTID column.
Alternatively, it could be a separate utility (say) "MODIFY UTILITY HISTORY" only deleting SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS and SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES rows 
Rows deleted from SYSIBM.SYSUTILITIES should have corresponding rows deleted from SYSIBM.SYSOBJEVENTS based on the EVENTID column.

    Dear Frank, Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. The development team reviewed it and provided this feedback for you:

    During development of utility history, the development team had considered the cleanup support for these history catalog tables, but at the end decided to not pursue it. MODIFY RECOVERY is mainly tied to object recoveries so it is not appropriate as a cleanup agent for utility history. Also in discussion with various sponsor users, many have different criteria to determine what utility history events to keep and what to delete (e.g. some based on time, some based on specific utilities run, some based on specific objects...etc), so ultimately it would be preferable for user to determine their own cleanup strategy via SQL DELETE, or utilize a more robust tooling solution (like via IBM Admin tool or equivalent product) to perform the customized utility history table cleanup.

    Therefore, we are not considering this idea. Please do continue to submit enhancement requests to us for consideration, as your input greatly helps shape the future functions and features of our offerings.

    Sincerely,

    The Db2 z/OS Development team
