REORG

Improved partition-level REORG for PBG tablespaces

– Allow overflow of PBG partitions during part-level REORG
– Avoid REORG failures due to inability to fit data back into original part(s)
– Create new PBG partition(s) as necessary
– Remove zparm REORG_IGNORE_FREESPACE (V11)
New DROP_PART option to delete empty PBG partitions
– Overrides REORG_DROP_PBG_PARTS zparm
– MAXPARTITIONS > 1
Support new COMPRESSRATIO SYSTABLEPART column

REORG

zIIP offload for REORG RELOAD phase

– 20% GP CPU reduction
– Up to 57% offload to zIIP for REORG
Mapping table format changed in V12 to support 7 byte RIDs
CREATE TABLE mapping_table
(TYPE CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
ORID CHAR(7) NOT NULL,
NRID CHAR(11) NOT NULL,
LRSN CHAR(10) NOT NULL)

Permit REORG against RO pagesets

LOAD & UNLOAD

LOAD PART REPLACE skip NPI scan if PBR partition is empty

– 99% CPU & 98% ET reduction

LOAD SHRLEVEL CHANGE PARALLEL support for PBGs

– Extend support delivered in V11 to cover PBGs including support for partition
growth
– 76% ET reduction, some CPU increase due mainly to insert contention
zIIP offload for LOAD utility reload process
– Up to 75% offload to zIIP
LOAD utility now maintains MAXASSIGNEDVAL for identity columns and
sequences
– For user-supplied values, will now maintain MAXASSIGNEDVAL
– LOAD REPLACE will not reset MAXASSIGNEDVAL to avoid errors after PIT
recovery

LOAD & UNLOAD

LOAD REPLACE support for COMPRESSRATIO SYSTABLEPART

column
New IGNORE option for LOAD to ignore records excluded by WHEN
clause
– Do not treat as discarded
UNLOAD privilege
– Controlled by AUTH_COMPATIBILITY zparm
• Default (null) is to enforce when new function is activated
• SELECT_FOR_UNLOAD checks if user has SELECT privilege
• New IFCID 404 can be run to identify UNLOADs where SELECT privilege is used

Backup & Recovery

New COPY_FASTREPLICATION zparm

– Default remains PREFERRED, but allows REQUIRED
&ICTYPE to reflect actual imagecopy type for COPY CHANGELIMIT
– Previously had type C rather than I or F
MODIFY RECOVERY DELETEDS option to physically delete datasets
MODIFY RECOVERY NOCOPYPEND option
– Avoid leaving objects in copy-pending
– Particularly useful for SLB environments

RUNSTATS

Inline stats support for LOAD PARALLEL

LISTDEF performance improvements
– Avoid processing index multiple times for a list of parts
COLGROUP performance improvement
– Gather stats from index if matches COLGROUP columns
– 25% CPU reduction, 15% ET reduction
COUNT value now automatically determined by RUNSTATS for
FREQVAL
