DSN-Command -STA PROFILE GROUP

DSN-Profiles are managed using catalog tables DSN_PROFILE_TABLE and DSN_PROFILE_ATTRIBUTES, but are not automatically activated upon insert / update. Instead a DSN-command -STA PROFILE must be executed. In a Db2 datasharing system, I can only have one set of data in catalog tables. It is not possible to differentiate between members. Therefore, all members of the datasharing group should always have the same profiles active.
It is possible to have different profiles active in each datasharing member, if one is running an "outdated" profile definition. That seems not desirable. In order to keep all members synchronized, -STA PROFLE must be executed consecutively on all members.

Solution: DSN-command with group option:
 -STA PROFILE GROUP

    Dear Patrick, Thanks for submitting this enhancement request. Our Db2 for z/OS development team reviewed it and determined this functionality already exists. Their feedback is as follows:

    DSN_PROFILE_TABLE contains a group_member column which is the name of the Db2 member in a data sharing group. When the column is blank, the row applies to a Db2 subsystem that is not part of a data sharing group, or to every Db2 subsystem in a data sharing group. This should be used to differentiate filters to a data sharing member.

    Sincerely,

    The Db2 for z/OS Team
