Enhance Db2 System profiles to allow exceptions

System profiles are being used to control applcompat levels for distributed connections. This is being done by trapping on the default db2 driver COLLECTION NULLID then setting the attributes to another collection using a higher applcompat. This w...

DSNTIAUL should support input LRECL size of > 80 bytes and not ignore input beyond the first 72 bytes

It is sometimes easy to put SQL all on one record as long as the LRECL of that record is very large. It becomes difficult to parse that SQL so it is divided into 72 byte records. Currently, the IBM utilities have input files that can have a LRECL ...

Alters to objects that require reorg to material should be put into advisory reorg, such as PCTFREE

If an alter is done to a TS to PCTFREE and a REORG is not run, then the catalog is updated but the change is not materialized. This results in the DBA thinking it was done, but it really wasn;t.

Enhancement ALTER of STOGROUP to be NO-DISRUPTIVE change.

As we all know to perform an ALTER DB.TS/IX USING STOGROUP XXXXX a STOP/ALTER/START process is required which is a DISRUPTIVE change. So, looking for an enhancement on that ALTER process maybe it could be "improved" by putting the involved Db2 obj...

Provide a threshold for the number of incidents caused by a single holder for message DSNT376I.

Availability and stable systems are very important to us (as they are for most users of DB2 for Z). Recently, I implemented a process that automatically terminated any process that shows up as the holder for a specific number (threshold) of DSNT37...

allow CREATE TABLE LIKE another table and propagate table partition limits

Today, it is possible to create a PBG tablespace and then use CREATE TABLE like another table and the new table is in the new ts. CREATE TABLESPACE ZPOLCL IN DDB01P SEGSIZE 64; CREATE TABLE TPOLCL LIKE DBCCLP1.TPOL IN DDB01P.ZPOLCL; If the source...

static SQL with DGTT and REOPT(ALWAYS) should be traced by IFCID 401

We realized that not all static SQLs are captured by DB2 to be put into IFI buffers (IFCID 401) I'm referring to static SQL related to packages bound with REOPT(ALWAYS) and DGTTs statements. For REOPT(ALWAYS) packages, only statements not affec...

Request to convert classic partitioned to UTS PBR by partition

Would like to see if it could be considered to perform an alter classic partitioned tablespace and then reorg by partition instead of the entire tablespace. While I agree it may be more housekeeping, some of the tablespaces we eventually will need...

If ADMIN_UTL_SCHED is used for imagecopies it should put the triggering jobname/CorrID into SYSIBM.SYSCOPY

If ADMIN_UTL_SCHED is used do to image copies it writes the name of the wlm-addressspace to the jobname columne of SYSIBM.SYSCOPY. We like to see the name of the triggering job/CorrID there, because we need this information. An alternative would b...
