Db2 for z/OS

The ability to apply the DB2 Connect Unlimited Licence directly on zOS

new accounting trace field to indicate if distributed connection was secure or not

We have recently enabled the SECPORT in all our Db2 subsystem. And now it is possible for a distributed client to use the SECPORT (instead of TCPPORT) and establish a secure SSL/TLS connection to the Db2. Great. Ideally, I would like to shut down ...

When I run a PART LEVEL REORG of a PBG tablespace and the current data doesn't fit into its original partition DB2 adds a new partition at the end and uses it for the "overflow" data. Which is fine, btw.... If i do this for multiple partitions, se...

Apply security restriction in Db2 table only via database connector tools (but not from database objects)

There are few use cases where Db2 table access must be restricted only from DB connector tools(eg; SPUFI, QMF or DSE in IDz or any other DB visualizer) but not from the database object itself. To explain further, we do have home grown tools(x1) us...

Multiple PROFILE tables with suffix
