    Modify where IMS stores X'99' records

    Currently, IMS X'99' Logs that are used for change data capture and replication are stored in SLDS. We would like the x’99’ to be logged into separate log datasets that CDC can listen and replicate.

    64 Bit Addressing for Full Function DB Buffer Pools

    Exploitation of 64 bit address space for Full Function DB for both OSAM and VSAM buffer pools (similar to current DB2's capabiltities).
    almost 10 years ago in IMS Database Manager / DLI 1 Not under consideration

    If row id or hash key can be created on IMS segments and keep hidden like DB2 tables then it will solve lot problems for replication tools where ims segment has no key

    It will provide uniqueness to no key segments and will be useful for replication tools.

    Store Copy Book Comments with IMS Catalog import

    When importing PL/I structures, we need to be able to preserve the Comments. Ideally with the import process. The comments should be stored with the metadata in the IMS Catalog and recreated with a future DCLGEN utility for the IMS Catalog.

    Allow quick navigation in E3270UI by overtyping CICSPlex and Region name

    In some E3270UI workspaces you can overtype the CICSPlex and Region name to allow you to quick navigate to data about other regions. This is not universally true, and on such case is the task history workspace (KCPTASH). Could you please add this ...

    ODBM must be downward compatible between code and release levels

    Our customers use ODBM which is a common service layer component servicing multiple IMS target systems. Currently if one of the target IMS systems is migrated to a new release and ODBM is not at that point migrated we lose access to the IMS system...

    Better Replication Solution needed to move incremental changes to IDAA and CP4D

    Asked this of Mario Perotti on a recent Webex and he suggested submitting an Idea, so here we are. Customers that have data in an IMS database are using it within IMS for transactional purposes, but need to move it elsewhere for Analytics. We curr...

    IMS Asynchronous Lock Duplexing

    With DB2 12, we can activate the Asynchronous Lock Duplexing. We need the same functionality for IMS.

    DCLGEN for the IMS Catalog

    We need to be able to generate PL/I definitions/includes with the IMS Catalog as the source and the leading system/basis. It should be possible to integrate that type of generation with the software build process.
