With this announcement, note that DBM 20 GA IR 8 will be the last incremental update (bundled group of features and fixes) for Version 20.0 of the CA Database Management Solutions for DB2 for z/OS. We will no longer bundle fixes and enhancements in increments. Instead, we will now provide new features as individual product PTFs, separate from product fixes. Fixes will now be delivered when needed, separate from product features.

 

Here is a list of some of the enhancements included in this update:

  • Snapshot General Services has improved performance and provided CPU time reduction when using z/OS DFSMSdss services as a copy method.
  • CREATE DDL statements, generated by the CA Database Management Solutions for DB2 for z/OS, for the following deprecated objects on a Db2 12 subsystem running V12R1M504 are still executable:

 

  •       Simple tablespaces (SEGSIZE=0, PARTITIONS=0)
  •       Segmented tablespaces (SEGSIZE greater than 0, PARTITIONS=0)
  •       Traditional index controlled partitioned tablespace (ICP) (SEGSIZE=0, PARTITIONS greater than 0)
  •       Traditional table controlled partitioned tablespace (TCP) (SEGSIZE=0, PARTITIONS greater than 0)
