Workspace Db2 for z/OS

Need Instrumentation to handle Native Strored Procedures created with the AUTONOMOUS keyword

Need assistance with how to handle native stored procedures created with the ‘AUTONOMOUS’ keyword.  One of the benefits of using the Db2 instrumentation interface, is the ability to follow the flow of  Stored Procedure SQL from the calling application program to the Db2 Stored Procedures and then back to the calling application (this works as all of the SQL runs under the same thread and the same address space as the calling application.  However, the SQL, within Stored procedures created with the ‘AUTONOMOUS’ keyword get their own thread and are executed under the DBM1 address space.  We use the ASID ‘-START TRACE’ filter parameter or, if unfiltered, uses the QWHSACE (from the standard header) to get the address space id to determine if the trace record is one that we’re interested in.    

I tried adding the DBM1 address space id along with the address space id of the measured address space to the -START TRACE, but that caused the -START TRACE command to fail as it’s set up to allow only one address space id.  When I look at the trace records without an ASID() filter, I notice that value in QWHCAACE (in the correlation header) matches the measured address spaces ACE - QWHSACE (in the standard header).    

 

 

IFCID

Standard Header QWHSACE

Corr Header QWHCAACE

233 ‐ Begin Call Autonomous Native SP

259BC420 ‐ ACE points to the address being measured

259BC420

061 ‐ Begin Update SQL

259BC720 ‐ ACE points to DBM1 address Space

259BC420

061 ‐ End Update SQL

259BC720

259BC420

233 ‐ End Call Autonomous Native SP

259BC420

259BC420

 

Is there some way to include these trace records when specifying the ASID() parameter for the calling application?

    Carol,

    Thank you for submitting this Db2 for z/OS enhancement request.

    We have reviewed this request; however, because it is not in our current roadmap and we are unable to deliver it within the next 24 months, we unfortunately will not be implementing it.

    We may re-open this idea in the future.

    We appreciate your input to the Db2 for z/OS development team. We also hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of Db2 for z/OS.

    Sincerely,

    Db2 for z/OS Team
