Improved message text for DSNU537I

DSNU537I displays a page set which is not allowed in the list. As the utility can not know what the user intends to do, the text should be changed to a more general text without naming a pageset. Why: 1) Assume userA runs COPY with 4 objects, one ...

ALLOW (SOME) UTILITIES TO OPERATE ON TABLESPACE TABLE NAME

I would like it to be easier for developers or other end-users to more easily use some basic Db2 utilities. For example, RUNSTATS or RECOVER with redirected recover functionality. But any utility that only operates on tablespace today, consider al...

We suppose to enhance LOAD utility to allow LOAD DATABASE, intended to create the possibility of loading several or all tables of a database in one step using only one SYSREC file. Background: In the past, using segmented tablespaces, we had the o...

LOAD RESUME SHRLEVEL REFERENCE

We use LOAD REPLACE SHRLEVEL REFERENCE since the first day it was delivered. It solves so many problems. One of the things it solves is that if the load terminates/abends or we ourselves for any reason has to cancel the job the tablespace is back ...
