    *                      enhancements (V1.6.2) to Db2ZAI with    *

    ****************************************************************
    Db2ZAI System assessment (SA) new features and enhancements:
    
    -The ability to run assessments against the data from Db2
    subsystems that are not connected to Db2ZAI.
    
    -The ability to select the exception types and categories when
    performing system assessments.
    
    -The flexibility to schedule multiple recurring assessments
    with shorter time frames than 24 hours.
    
    -New APIs have been provided to run an assessment on demand, as
    well as system assessment training.
    
    
    
    Db2ZAI SQL optimization key enhancements:
    
    -Access path performance analysis is improved by using
    confidence level to avoid premature actions being taken before
    enough data is analyzed.
    
    -A new option to select dynamic SQL statements with filtering,
    using the client user ID and the client application name or
    both.  Automatic dynamic SQL statement selection is updated
    to select statements based on CPU consumption.
    
    -The selection of static packages is enhanced to allow the
    specification of the collection ID without package names.
    
    -QUERYNO information for dynamic SQL is added in the statement
    details.
    
    Db2ZAI Distributed connection control (DCC) key enhancements:
    
    -Connection information has been added to the DCC dashboard as
    well as the ability to drill-down on client inventory
    information for better analysis and troubleshooting.
    
    -The DCC feature now allows users to suppress Db2 console
    messages, reducing messages on the z/OS console as DCC learns
    about the user's workload when Db2 13 APAR PH65972 is applied.
    
    -Db2ZAI infrastructure new features and enhancements:
    
    -To simplify maintenance updates,  Db2ZAI generates
    migration steps dynamically based on the maintenance level.
    This will create all necessary steps in a single JCL job for a
    metadata connection and the target connections.
    
    -The cleanup process has been modified to limit data deletion
    to a maximum of 24 hour's worth of data per day to minimize
    the possible overhead.
    
    -Users have the option to configure and update Db2ZAI using a
    configuration file in addition to the current command prompt
    interface.  This enables users to automate Db2ZAI
    configuration.
    
    -Db2ZAI no longer stores passwords for the scheduler IDs for
    both target and metadata connections.
    
    With Db2 APAR PH66471,  the Db2 - START,  STOP and
    DISPLAY ML commands are enhanced to support the set of Db2ZAI
    enhancements described above.
