Thank you for submitting this Idea. Db2 for z/OS development has reviewed it and determined the following:
Typically (and this is a typical case), updating the catalog also requires updating the OBD. So only certain activities that update the catalog AND OBD can provide the change that is being asked for. Right now, population of missing part-level fields from the TS level is only triggered on:
ALTER TABLESPACE of one of the TS level attributes, then we'd populate all partitions of the table with the new attribute value
ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION to insert a new partition, then we'd populate the new partition's fields
At this time, we are declining this idea with the suggestion that there is a work around that is not elegant, but does work.
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 Development Team
