Re: DB2 Forum

2015-03-09 Thread Robert Galambos
The db2-l listserv  software/server was retired a number of years ago. 
In its place the new home for the forum is at IDUG.ORG.


one will need to register but afterwards you can opt in for the mail 
reflector. While not exactly the same, the benefits/resources are.


If you have any  questions feel free in contacting my off list.



For transparency sake, i am one of the administrators of the DB2-l forum.

You are right.

We do not use listserv but another facility.

Re: Unload data

2014-08-05 Thread Robert Galambos

And I have another suggestion.

There is a mail reflector/listserv for DB2 (if that is the data store 
here) with many experts and those whop have done similar functions like 
what you are asking about.


I suggest they you go over to idug.org (international db2 user group) 
and ask the question there. though the more information you provide the 
faster the response you will get. here or there

We are using DB-2 unload utility as the table size is 125 million, the  Unload 
data is fed to the downstream programs for further processing.

You did not answered all of Lizette's questions.

My one question is: What is 'unload'? Is it a dump, copy (re-formatted contents 
or not) , SQL query, etc?

Also you asked about 'parms', but you did not said what parms you tried out or 
against what program you're trying to use parms.

I have other questions: What version of DB2 do you have? Is this an once off 
problem or not? For how long is it that you have that huge table? With what are 
you 'fetching' the records and storing it somewhere else?

Some possible suggestions: Do your work hourly or give your job higher priority 
or split up your table in smaller chunks.

Best solution was given by Ed Gould!

Re: DB2 v9-v10 problem

2013-10-24 Thread Robert Galambos
This would be better asked on the IDUG.ORG forum

On Thursday, October 24, 2013, R.S. r.skoru...@bremultibank.com.pl wrote:
 Environment z/OS 1.11, DB2 v9.1, CICS TS 4.1
 is being migrated to
 z/OS 1.13, DB2 v10.1, CICS TS 4.2 (DB2 in Compatibility Mode)

 One CICS transaction expected strange behavior: much more CPU used for
open cursor operation. Acces path wasn't changed. It seems DB2 lost
ability to read index in both ways (during MI/MX access) and read and sort
more data than it should.


 Any clue?

 Anyone experienced similar problem?

blog security by design

2013-10-18 Thread Robert Galambos
Rarely I post a note here about my blog. While it is not only an IBM issue
(mainframe or not) I thought this maybe of interest to the list.

In a world where we all have to deal with various aspects of the online
world. We are, both personally and professionally, concerned about security
and new technology.
Robert's Law of security and technology progress.

I did this for a couple of reasons.
1) We, as professionals, at times do not see the forest because of the
trees (me included). And I thought I could start an discussion concerning
this.
2) A little self promotion, as the euphemism goes,  I am looking for new
opportunities (got laid off).

Please feel free in forwarding this to anyone you may want to,

Re: EBCDIC and the P-Bit

2013-06-21 Thread Robert Galambos
Actually I would say its that the Operating system has been in
'development'/available for more then 50 years.

more time to get it right.

Then is the aspect that in the earlier years there was less of a push for
getting out the door, because there was not the same level of competition.

The aspect of the Character set (codepage) would have little effect. If
there was money to be had, Hackers would try to get at it.

 Thanks, Mike.  I did see the EBCDIC article, but I did not notice the link
 near the bottom.  But I think this merits a separate article, and I might
 just post it.  After all, I can copy/paste with the best of them!
