QM allow filter for SQL that changed data in CAE webfilter (and ISPF)

I would like the Query Monitor web-interface to have a filter or control that allows me to filter on SQL that actually changed data.


For example, I might zoom into an object and see lots of SQL operated on it. But all I want to see are the SQL that actually did change (ins/upd/del/merge).

  1. this is useful for me when I know many applications or userids SELECT on a table but I want to find the actual SQL and application or userid who actually changes the data. This will help me confirm who changes data...
  2. likewise, I might know a userid or application uses SQL on many tables (and maybe different schemas) ... but I want to quickly get an idea of how the application or userid is changing db2 data.


Ideally the filter would know from Db2 how many rows changed... the filter could be based upon that metric

  • a filter on SQL type of INS/UPD/DEL/MERGE is complicated in case the SQL statement is actually SELECT from final table.. because then it looks like SELECT....
  • a filter on SQL type is also complicated because even if I know it is INSERT statement... maybe it inserted zero rows and is not interesting
  • but Query Monitor knowing rows_changed is hard then just scan the SQL and try to figure if it ins/upd/del/merge... that is good enough.


And yes. I do know I can use the QM perf db (somehow with some SQL and thought).

but I would prefer to use the web-interface. because it would be easier and quicker for me AND easier for the ad-hoc or occasional users of Query Monitor (who do not use the QM perf db)


If you want. you could implement the same filter functionality in the ISPF panels for QM but I do not use them much anymore. the webinterface is much better!

    I am disapointed that this idea is not under consideration. I feel that it would be very valuable. Can I discuss it with sosmeone to explain why it is important?

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request.

    While we view all the enhancement requests we receive as valuable and we would like to implement all of them, in an effort to have maximum transparency we are closing the ones that don’t currently appear on our two-year product roadmap. This is not to say that these enhancements may not still be implemented at some point in the future, as we constantly evaluate our requirements on the basis of customer demand and technical impact and try to deliver maximum value to our customers.

    We appreciate your feedback and would be happy to discuss your enhancement requests further.
