Hi.. Which IFCids do you want to alert on?
Thank you for the response.
Note that we don't compress DB2 SMF records.
The crucial question is whether you have asked Db2 to compress the Db2 SMF records. If so, we will not support it in Alert because it is costs too much CPU overhead to decompress every DB2 SMF record to see if we need to alert on it. We have asked Db2 development to move or clone the IFcid to the non-compressed piece of the record, but that has not been built so far. If you actually have non-compressed DB2 SMF records, we can think about supporting it. Which IFCids do you want to alert on?
Note that we have implemented native DB2 security (not in RACF).
