Justification: (Why? Non-technical
business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem
Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your
company, and the vendor and others?
Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)
DB/2 archives
to disk appear to work in 7.1 but are not officially supported so we
cannot use it
in a production environment. If it was
supported, it would reduce the
run time
needed to do an offline archive. It
would also allow for the possibility of
remotely
archiving the data base since no tapes would need to be mounted.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a

Impact: (Optional) (How
will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
