Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All Db2 13 for z/OS users.                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Introducing Db2 13 function level       *
    *                      V13R1M508.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Enables activation of Db2 13 for z/OS function level V13R1M508.
    For detailed descriptions of the new Db2 13 capabilities in
    function level V13R1M508, and how to activate them, see
    "Function level 508" in the Db2 13 documentation:
    https://ibm.biz/db2z13functionlevels
    For an overview of continuous delivery and function levels in
    Db2 13, see:
    https://ibm.biz/db2z13adoptnewfunction
    
    
    This APAR also enables support for the following FL 508
    features:
    1. New Db2-supplied user-defined function (UDF)
       SYSIBMADM.BLOCKING_THREADS2.
    
       - In sample job DSNTIJRT, the following configuration
         control statement is added under the CFIGIN DD for
         the new UDF:
    
           SYSIBMADM.BLOCKING_THREADS2
             WLMENV(DSNWLM_GENERAL)
             GRANTTO(PUBLIC)
    
       - The DSNTRIN program which the sample job DSNTIJRT
         executes is enhanced to install and configure the
         new UDF.
    
       - The DSNTRVFY program which the sample job DSNTIJRV
         executes is enhanced to validate the new UDF.
    
    2. Increase in the number of active logs from 93 to 1000 per
       log copy.
    
       - Additional jobs DSNTIJLx (x=1 to 8) are generated by the
         CLIST to preformat active logs 94 and greater when the
         CLIST is run with the following settings:
          - Panel DSNTIPA1 : INSTALL TYPE = INSTALL
          - Panel DSNTIP00 : TARGET FUNCTION LEVEL = V13R1M508 or
                            higher
          - Panel DSNTIPL :  NUMBER OF LOGS = 94 or higher
    
       - New sample job DSNTIJCU is introduced which converts the
         Db2 BSDS to expanded format to support up to 1000 active
         log data sets per log copy.
    
       - DSNTXAZP tool and the Db2-supplied stored procedure
         SYSPROC.GET_SYSTEM_INFO are modified to process the
         new "Record trace - IFCID 104 - Log Data Set" layout
         after function level 508 is activated.
    
    In addition to the above changes, the Db2 installation CLIST
    is also enhanced to support the FL 508 features.
