Support of static SQL (SQLJ) for IntelliJ regarding Code completion and Error Detection

A lot of customers are using IntelliJ enterprise wide, while still using static sql in Java and therefore have a heavy need for support of the IDE and not just read log output and match it with the code in the editor.

IFCID 366/376: include SQL text in the trace records

The analysis of IFCID 366/376 is done via SMF records. When these records are available (one day delay), it is nearly impossible to match the statement ID to a statement in dynamic statement cache, because the statement might be already discarded....

Parrallel offload (Archive logs)

DB2 offload logs in sequential mode. We offload logs directly to virtual tapes and sometimes when have problem with tapes DB2 holds many full active logs. It'll be great if DB2 can offload for example ten full active logs in parallel.

Deliver DSNHBNFE from SDSNSAMP in EBNF format

The DSNHBNFE member delivers a formal definition of the Db2 syntax in BNF format. However, tools like ANTLR can generate lexers/parsers automatically if the language is delivered in a EBNF format. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Backus%E2%8...

Distributed Thread cancelled due to Idle Thread Timeout or MONITOR IDLE THREADS not writing record to SYS1.LOGREC

Provide partition load for multiple partitions

GGDB212007 Provide a parameter for a partition range and/or partition listing like reorg utility does, e.g. -> PART (18:20, 22, 25)

Add a STOP DB2 mode that cancels connected threads, but not internal processes.

We have struggled with getting a "clean" shutdown of Db2 for years. If we try to use STOP DB2 MODE(QUIESCE), Db2 will not stop. Persistent threads from STCs such as CICS regions, WAS Z servants, and ARS CMOD servers do not "end", so they never al...
