Collecting Db2 Integrated Synchronization counters in IZDS

IBM Z Decision Support currently does not collect Db2 Integrated Synchronization IFCID 2 counters. In Db2 component table DB2_IDAA_STAT_S_H/D there is column REPLICATION_CPU, but is only populated with data for CDC replication. Since we have migra...

Allow LIST RECORD consumption to be drifted to ZIIP processors.

Now, IZDS and IZPCA allow the derivation of a COLLECT to ZIIP, but it is not possible to do the same with a LIST RECORD.It would be good to study the possibility of adapting the LIST RECORD as well.

Enable the ability to run the COLLECT batch process of different components in parallel.

When a COLLECT process is executed, some DB2 resources are allocated that prevent processes that collect data for different components (CICS, DB2, MVS and so on) from being executed in parallel. If the COLLECT processes of different components cou...

Support for __ptr64 qualifier in LE C

LE C compiler should support the __ptr64 qualifier for 64-bit pointers in 31-bit (or 64-bit) code, as it does for Metal C. Furthermore, EDCDSECT should convert a 64-bit addresses (declared as "AD") to "void * __ptr64", for consistency.

inline ASM DS incorrect load for long long

With inline ASM to initialize a long long variable using an ASM DS instruction in 31-bit mode, the compiler is only generating an 'L' instruction, which does not load the full 64-bit register representing the long long variable: unsigned long long...

Exception Object Enhance

Exception handle is an important mechanism to help programmers debug their programs. Many of the literature books mention the use of this mechanism to increase the quality of the application. Although C11/C14 has no longer recommend the use of the...
