Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR provides enhancements to      *
    *                      support Db2 online conversion of        *
    *                      table spaces from partition-by-range    *
    *                      (PBR) to partition-by-growth (PBG).     *
    ****************************************************************
    GEN:
    This enhancement enables generation of DDL for table spaces,
    tables, and indexes when the object is affected by a pending
    alter to PBG. Pending changes are reflected in the generated
    CREATE statements when the option "Include Db2 pending chgs"
    is set to "Yes." Otherwise, ALTER statements are generated.
    When an alter to PBR is also pending, the generated ALTER or
    CREATE statements reflect the final PBR attributes.
    
    Object Compare:
    With this enhancement, Db2 Object Comparison Tool now
    supports the following capabilities:
    1)Generating ALTER statements to convert a PBR table space to
    PBG, eliminating the need to drop and re-create the object
    2)Generating ALTER statements for repartitioning, when the
    partitioning key of a table in a PBR table space is changed,
    avoiding drop and re-create operations
    3)Generating ALTER statements to handle dropped partitions
    from a table in a PBR table space
    4)Retaining partition-level attributes and partitioned indexes
    when dropping a partition or changing the partitioning key
    
    ALT table:
    This enhancement introduces the following changes to ALT
    functionality for tables:
    1) Ability to alter the partitioning key by using primary
    command PARTCOLS on the ADB27CPV (Alter Partitioned Table)
    panel
    2) Ability to drop a partition by using line command DROP
    on the ADB27CPV (Alter Partitioned Table) panel
    3) Ability to restore partition-level attributes and
    partitioned indexes when dropping partitions or altering a
    partitioning key
    4) Support for new operations in the virtual changes
    functionality for ALT on tables
    
    ALT table space:
    This enhancement introduces the following changes to ALT
    functionality for table spaces:
    1) Ability to alter the partitioning key by using primary
    command PARTCOLS on the ADB21TAV (Alter Partitioned Table)
    panel
    2) Ability to drop a partition by using line command DROP
    on the ADB21TAV (Alter Partitioned Table) panel
    3) Ability to restore partition-level attributes and
    partitioned indexes when dropping partitions or altering a
    partitioning key
    4) Support for new operations in the virtual changes
    functionality for ALT on table spaces
    
    Alter (AL) table:
    This enhancement introduces the following panel changes
    for AL functionality for tables:
    1) New option ALTER PARTITIONING BY GROWTH on
    panel ADB21TA (Alter Table)
    2) New fields DSSIZE and MAXPARTITIONS on panel ADB21TA
    (Alter Table) to support conversion to PBG table spaces
    3) Existing ADD PARTITIONING KEY option on panel ADB21TA (for
    PBG table space) changed to ADD/ALTER PARTITIONING BY RANGE.
    This change was made for consistency with the new PBR option
    ALTER PARTITIONING BY GROWTH.
