RID problem instrumentation improvement

The IFI 2 & 3 fields QISTRLLM and QISTRPLM and the RID fields in the 316 and 401 are all basically “useless” these days to actually detect a RID related limit problem. I know that the QXRFMIAP is available in the IFI 2 & 3 but it is needed...

A possibility through IFI and/or a new command -DIS WORKFILES to get an “asis” use list of all work pools (Sort , DGTT, Work etc.) This data is crucial for tuning the number, size and type of the work spaces that we all have. The output should be ...

When doing FlashCopy image copies the Db2 utilities create image copies by ADRDSSU and it passes the same SMS storage & management classes as the Db2 spaces.This is not always wanted as the performance and management requirements are in most c...

We did a large GRECP recovery test with around 68.000 GBP dependend objects. After restart and the automatic GRECP recovery we see a lot of DSNI025I, DSNI026I, DSNI027I, DSNI028I and DSNI029I messages as expected, but they have no correlation to t...

Expand IFCID 258 to include the last available partition (based on MAXPARTITIONS) of a partitioned table spaces.

Set Partition Index, DPSI to the same DSSIZE as Tablespace when converting to RPN and ALTER TABLESPACE DSSIZE is after ALTER TABLESPACE PAGENUM RELATIVE

In numerous cases it is impossible to put the ALTER TABLESPACE DSSIZE in front of the ALTER TABLESPACE PAGENUM RELATIVE due to the number of partitions and page size. Currently this only works with the following. After the reorg materialization th...

Set object status to prohibit data access

Before we drop a Db2 table we need to make sure that noone use the object in any way. We solve this now by stopping the tablespace and keeping it stopped for about six months. This means that noone can access the data and noone can run a utility a...

DB2: Enhancing DB2 decision making during starting up in DEFER ALL mode
