Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using Change Management (CM) batch *
    *                      to create a large number of databases,  *
    *                      table spaces, and tables, the JCL takes *
    *                      a long time to be created due to the    *
    *                      recover-to-existing data change.        *
    *                      This problem can also happen if the     *
    *                      user drops a large number of tables and *
    *                      table spaces using CM.                  *
    ****************************************************************
    When running CM batch with recover-to-existing data, the JCL
    takes a very long time to be created.  The user was doing
    thousands of creates for databases, table spaces and tables. The
    generated recover job therefore needs to run UNLOAD and START DB
    ACCESS(RO) for all table spaces and tables that were created.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The time to create the recover change has been shortened
    considerably by better performing code.
