We recently migrated to DB2 8.1 and are almost complete in converting all subsystems to New Function Mode. There was an issue where a developer terminate all DB2 utilities in one of the DB2's. This is a known documented change in DB2 8.1 (here is a link describing it: http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/db2zos/upgrading-to-version-8-watch-out-for-sysopr-11354). We've got a secondary authid defined but I'm not sure what is to be defined so the operators can issue the DB2 commands in they're so directed. We're also user of OPS/MVS and it's extended console names fluctuate. Thanks in advance.
