Hi.  I'm looking for help and ideas with OnDemand on DB2 on z/OS.  

Background:    

A large effort was undertaken to move the OnDemand application from DB2 on z/OS 
(DB2)  to DB2 LUW on AIX (LUW).  
OnDemand is up for a week at a time, coming down only for IPL.  The DB2 
accounting record is written at that time.   

The team identified all the sources of OnDemand activity and changed them to 
point to the new LUW platform.  According to the team, all DB2 activity should 
now be Select only.   

Problem: 
The weekly DB2 accounting record for OnDemand show Insert, Update, and Delete 
activity.  The accounting record should have zeros in the fields.  Instead, 
there are 198 inserts, and 396 updates.  This means that something on the 
mainframe is still writing into OnDemand on DB2.    

The OnDemand system log has been checked, and it doesn't identify who is doing 
the inserts/updates (as far as I can tell).     
Since the Accounting record is once a week only, its not useful to find out 
when the activity occurred, which would lead to logs, undo/redo, etc.  
 
Options to find the stragglers: 
1. Start the DB2 tables READ ONLY.  Downside:  will cause abends.  
2. Scan all the DB2 logs for the week.  Downside: CPU usage to scan a week's 
worth of logs.  
3. Ask IBM-Main for ideas.  

Any ideas are appreciated.  Thanks very much.  Linda
