Product Name:    DB2    Product Release# (or state “current”): Current

Vendor Name:     IBM

 

Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Improve Performance of the DB2 UDB Client interface

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

The  DB2 client interface to DB2 UDB is very slow. We need to improve the quality and efficiency of this interface for VSE. The code used in the DRDA protocol to translate between EBCDIC  and ASCII as well as the DRDA interface with the TCP/IP staack could use a serious tuneup. This drives up the cpu on the host when processing communications to a DB2/UDB database from VSE.

                                                                                            

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) High

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) 3 months

Requirement Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Performance

Business 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?)

 

The benefit would be improved performance and faster response for batch and cics programs that access data on a Linux IFL with DB2 UDB.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

     

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