Add Ability to Generate BIND Statements for Inadvertently Freed Packages

We are looking for the Log Analysis Tool to have the ability to find packages that have been dropped (which it can do already) and use this information to generate BIND statements to more or less undo the freeing of said packages. This could be seen as an UNDO FREE PACKAGE scenario.

    Thank you for submitting this Db2 Log Analysis Tool for z/OS enhancement request.

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in a future deliverable because it is not consistent with the product purpose. Consequently, we will not be implementing this request.

    This same functionality is currently under consideration for the Db2 Recovery Expert for z/OS tool. The Db2 Log Analysis for z/OS tool is designed to generate the DML only. It is more logical that the recovery of FREE PACKAGE be implemented in the Db2 Recovery Expert for z/OS tool.

    We appreciate your input to the Db2 Log Analysis Tool 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 Log Analysis Tool for z/OS.

    Sincerely,

    Db2 Log Analysis Tool for z/OS Team
