CA GEN Universal tablespaces and Extended RBA?

[Steve Muenks]

I was wanting to convert our CA Gen tablespaces to Universal and also convert the RBA to extended.  Has anyone else done this to ther CA Gen database?  I didn't want to encounter any issues with conversion.

Hello Steve,

From searching I think you previously raised a support case on this topic and you are referring to the Gen Host Encyclopedia database rather than a Gen application database - correct?

We do now have some published KB articles but they still state both changes are not officially supported because they are not tested and would therefore be at own risk:

Can CA Gen Host Encyclopedia (HE) table spaces be - CA Knowledge 

Is CA Gen Host Encyclopedia (HE) impacted if chang - CA Knowledge 

 

Hopefully there are some Gen community users out there who might have tried these changes and can provided input.

 

Thanks,

 

Lynn

We converted to UTS for the GuardIEn tablespaces (DB2 on z/OS). For both Gen and GuardIEn databases the PLAN_TABLEs were converted to extended. Did not encounter any problems.
