Trim blanks from 60 byte statement text in IFCID 316

IFCID 316 contains only the first 60 bytes of the SQL text. Some programs may, for readability, include lots of blank spaces around SQL text. In extreme cases (python scripts) the text is preceded by a line of blanks. In these cases the 60 bytes o...

IFI READS support for IFCID 0417

Can you extend IFI READS support for IFCID 0417. I see that it's cut at either STATIME_MAIN or STATIME_DDF intervals. I'm wondering if IFCID 0417 will be eligible for IFI READS, similar to IFCIDs 365, 411, and 412.

Display DSNT741I message to MSTR address space regardless of source.

Authorization for DROP ALIAS for table or view

We have sort of a CI/CD pipeline for Db2 objects. We sometimes get into trouble when we need to drop an alias for a table or view. To do that you need ownership of the alias or a high privilege. Ownership cannot be changed for aliases without drop...

DSNI052I Work File Message Enhancement

We have frequent alerts about Work File issue, but when it is triggered by a distributed connection as below, it does not really help us much to identify the culprit. All Java threads do use the same CorrelationID and Package Name and we have tens...

Dataset Processing (CREATE, DELETE, EXTEND) should get a timelimit

We had an unimportant pageset, which was defined with ERASE YES. Due to the long timeframe of writing x'00' (ERASE YES) on the tracks of this pageset, another dataset processing (EXTEND) of a very important pageset waits and is timed out. This tim...
