Querying data archived by Db2 Data Gate

To query data that has been archived by the storage saver, you must add a special register to the SQL code of the query. You can also set a ZPARM if you always want to include this type of data in your queries.

About this task

Remember that query acceleration must be used because the data to be accessed resides in the Db2 Warehouse target database only. For more information, see query acceleration.

Procedure

  • To instruct a single query so that it includes data archived by the storage saver, set the following special register at the beginning of the SQL code, preferably below the statement that enables query acceleration (unless query acceleration is enabled by a ZPARM). For example:
    SET CURRENT QUERY ACCELERATION ALL
    SET CURRENT GET_ACCEL_ARCHIVE YES
  • To set a ZPARM so that queries always include data that was archived by the storage saver, add the following entry on the DSNTIP82 installation panel of your Db2 for z/OS system:
    GET_ACCEL_ARCHIVE YES
