increase the zIIP part of the REORG ONLINE

We would like IBM to be able to increase the zIIP part of the REORG ONLINE phases in order to benefit from lower consumption on the invoiced processors.

    Dear Nicolas, Thanks for submitting this enhancement request. For the REORG TABLESPACE utility, the major CPU intensive phases including UNLOAD, RELOAD, and SORTBLD phase have already been made zIIP offload eligible. Similarly, the UNLOAD and BUILD phase of the REORG INDEX utility have also been made zIIP offload eligible. The external sort products, including DFSORT and Db2 Sort, also have their own zIIP offload capability. The inline statistics processing has also been made zIIP offload eligible. So currently development has no plan to further zIIP offload the remaining REORG utility operations, where much of the remaining works reside in TCB and BSAM services that cannot be offloaded to zIIP.

    We appreciate your input and we hope that you will continue to submit enhancement suggestions for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of Db2 Utilities.

    Sincerely,

    The Db2 Utilities team
