The level of bundled open-source components should be clearly stated in the Release Notes or Technotes at the time of DataStage release. Additionally, the impact of differences in open-source components on DataStage should also be clearly indicated.

Currently, there is no mention of open-source components in the Release Notes (e.g. https://www.ibm.com/docs/ja/iis/11.7.0?topic=rn-infosphere-information-server-version-1171-fix-pack-5-releasenotes) or in the installation-related information prov...
4 months ago in Information Server  / DataStage 1 Not under consideration

We are looking for a profile that can monitor both active and inactive connections (CONDBAT). This profile exists and it is MONITOR CONNECTIONS, but it only allows LOCATION as a filtering option. We would like to request AUTHID be added as a filter option. This is needed as we have some Application Developers that do not close their connection when done reading DB2 on z/OS data from a distributed application. They continue to create new active threads while they unused threads go inactive. Eventually the application will consume all available connections allowed (CONDBAT) for a DB2 subsystem (or datasharing group) causing outages to other more well behaved applications. LOCATION as a filter does not work for us for distributed applications that reside on a Kubernetes POD.

Profile monitoring - be able to limit the numbers of users accessing DB2 through DDF by setting up limits by AUTHID.
