These environment and registry variables are new in version 11.5.1:

Table 1. Changes to existing administrative views
Administrative view	Description
ADMINTABINFO	A new column, STATSPROFTYPE, returns a single `CHAR` value (`A`, `U` or `NULL`) that indicates whether an automatically generated statistics profile or a user-generated statistics profile was created for the table.
SYSIBMADM.PRIVILEGES	Two new columns, PARENTOBJECTNAME and PARENTOBJECTTYPE, have been added. When column privileges are granted, the parent object now appears as the table to which the column belongs. In addition, the privilege, SET SESSION (SETSESSIONUSER), has been added for surrogate `auth ID`s.

Review the list of the deprecated administrative routines and the associated replacement routines or views to determine any additional changes that might impact your applications and scripts.
