Robust Db2
pureScale® diagnostic
paths
|
Improved DIAGPATH, CF_DIAGPATH, and ALT_DIAGPATH database manager parameter
restrictions to ensure optimal transactional throughput and minimal time-to-recover. For more
information, refer to Changes to database manager configuration parameters in Db2 11.5.6.

| The Command Line Processor (CLP) queue name hashing algorithm has been updated |
The CLP queue name hashing algorithm has been improved to avoid key collision, and to accept
a higher range of processor IDs (PID) and user IDs (UID) for newer operating
systems. Note: This design change introduces a limitation
in the Korn shell on AIX® when using the
su command within the same command line processor (CLP) session. In this
scenario, you cannot run Db2 commands as another
Db2 instance
user if the UID modulo 8 operation (UID %
8) results in the same value for both UIDs. Otherwise, DB21016E is
returned.

| Default Fast Communication Manager (FCM) and service ports have been updated |
The Default Fast Communication Manager (FCM) and service ports have been updated to comply
with the new Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) standards. For more information, refer to Db2 server
TCP/IP port numbers. |
