PM83153: IMS PA DATABASE UPDATE ACTIVITY REPORT (DBUA) MAY RUN FOR AN EXTENDED TIME WHEN PROCESSING LARGE AMOUNTS OF DATA

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• IMS PA Database Update Activity report (DBUA) may run for an
  extended time and consume excessive CPU resources when
  processing large amounts of data.
  
  We'll provide a new formatting option for DBUA that generates a
  new report - IMSPALOG DBUPDATE(FORMAT2).
  This report will have vastly improved performance over the
  original DBUA because it simply counts records - x'50', x'20'
  and x'24'.
  
  Restrictions:
  1. FORMAT2 does not support Extract.
