FOOTPRINT : Lightweight “XS T-shirt” deployment for IKC (CP4D) – extendable to wx.data intelligence

Customers are increasingly asking for a significantly smaller footprint option for IBM Knowledge Catalog (IKC). Current deployments require substantial resources, even in development or POC environments where workloads are limited and only a small...

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.

DataStage incorporates multiple open-source components. To ensure system stability and operational consistency, any behavioral changes resulting from updates to these bundled open-source components should be managed and absorbed by the DataStage installer. This approach prevents disruptions during system deployment and post-deployment operations.

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...

Add support in Db2 to disable GSKit session cache using GSK_V2_SIDCACHE_SIZE and GSK_V3_SIDCACHE_SIZE

Db2 currently uses GSKit for cryptographic and TLS operations, and the GSKit session cache is enabled by default. While GSKit itself allows disabling the session cache by setting environment variables such as GSK_V3_SIDCACHE_SIZE=0, Db2 does not h...

Code Explain should support macros

Many customers use macros to generate COBOL to simplify the way that they wrote code, especially for standard processes. When developers select their code in the IDE to generate an explanation, it won't always be standard COBOL thanks to these mac...

Improve performance for deferred ALTERs on the same object

Db2 supports 4096 partitions in one TS, we have only 2048 partitions. And we want to alter the keyrnages of all partitions. We recognized that the longer the deferred ALTER queue the slower the current ALTER. This is confirmed by development and i...
