Merged idea

This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit DB24ZOS-I-668 Remove active trace limit of 32.

Increase the System Limit of 32 Started Traces Merged

We are exploring using the audit policy traces to handle our audit compliance issue from 2012. According to the Redbook, Security Functions of IBM DB2 10 for z/OS, section 8.1.2, we may only start 32 traces. Reference PMR 79271,082,000.
I have concerns that I may hit this limit before I can address all my audit issues. I currently have two requests which have identified tables in test that contain sensitive personal data. I am expecting this to increase as we identify other tables that may need reporting.
