A few months ago, CA took the decision to relocate the DB2 Product Manager roles to the US. For me to have kept working in this role at CA, I would have had to relocate to our DB2 development centre in Lisle, Illinois.





For many reasons, I have declined to relocate which means, from June 30th, I will no longer be a DB2 Product Manager with CA. [...] 258 196 34_Articles from IBM Techdocs Library10_DB2usa !!!19_db2usa3@HOTMAIL.COM31_Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:35:01 -0400497_Windows-1252

Hi DB2 user,

Here is a non-profit Blog about DB2 for z/OS (IBM mainframes): http://db2usa.blogspot.com

Last update on Monday, June 29th 2009





Here are several articles from IBM Techdocs Library, available on IBM Techdocs Website:

I've been thinking about it but am a little unclear on the approach that you are suggesting... would you be able to elaborate a little?

Thanks, Graham.

Personally the only way I know how to do what you want is by having program logic and manipulating the schema/current path. But you ruled those out. So I pointed out that, since the concepts were so similar, you should be able to transpose whatever mechanism you had in mind for synonyms to unqualified SP calls.

However, we want to save the data for the production programs. I set up jcl to extract the data from the existing tables using DSNTIAUL and to load to the new sets of tables using the LOAD utility. Two of the tables are giving me problems. In both cases, the column definition changes somewhat, but there are other columns on the same table with the same changes that don’t show any errors.

For what it's worth, I'm not aware of anything, SQL-wise, that will do for an unqualified stored procedure reference what a synonym or alias will do for an unqualified table or view reference. I know that program logic is not your first choice for resolving unqualified references in stored procedure calls, but I don't see that there's an alternative.

2) More to the point, why are you changing the definitions of existing columns in DSN_PGROUP_TABLE and DSN_PTASK_TABLE?

You probably need to redefine the appropriate columns of the new version of these tables as FOR SBCS DATA; the manual doesn't specify which setting you need to use, so use the one which gives you compatibility until-and-unless you run into trouble with it. [...] 4804 132 32_Re: z/OS Saving Access Path Data18_Van Dreese, Tami S27_Tami.Vandreese@LANDSEND.COM31_Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:54:14 -0500514_us-ascii 1) Thanks, that's probably a simpler process than what I was doing.

2) I haven't intentionally changed the column definitions. This is what they were created with when we did it through the Optimization Service Center (v1.1.6).

Virtual Buffers are flushed at DB2 Checkpoints, and earlier if the DWQT or VDWQT thresholds are triggered. So if you have a not-particularly-busy system and your checkpoints are, say, 10 minutes, or even x-number-of-log-recs, your inserted row could go quite a long time before being written to the tablespace.

If you ran the IBM DB2 Unload utility or you used DSNTIAUL (SQL application) then the new row would be read from the buffer. If you used a third-party Unload utility, they often bypass the buffer and read from the VSAM dataset directly and you therefore may not see the new row.

You say that the z/OS DB2 is V8 but the reason code refers to V9 functionality, is it definitely V8?

You will need to do this if you intend to use the crossloader to pull the data from the Windows DB2.

The parameters and subcodes were both 0. Does the gateway need special Unicode conversion? We are using the default DB2 module which seems to have every conversion imaginable.

I don't think I've ever flown through O'Hare without a connecting flight being delayed or cancelled, so my impression is jaundiced. Its too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Aside from having also been damaged by fire, there is no comparison between London and Chicago.

London is one of the cultural capitals of the world whereas Chicago might be the best place in Illinois (with due respect to the fine folks of Springfield). Despite this, it's a great place to visit.

What fixpak level is your Connect server at? Working on previous V8 migrations, I have found that numerous errors occurred when trying to connect from back-level versions of Connect. The best solution is to get the latest fixpak on as soon as possible.

COMMIT just forces a write to the transaction log so that the data change can be re-done in a recovery situation - it doesn't externalize the changed data or index page to disk (in a data sharing environment, changed pages of group buffer pool-dependent data sets are externalized to the appropriate group buffer pool in a coupling facility at commit, but those pages will not be written to disk until a subsequent CASTOUT operation).
