Db2 enhancements in IBM i 7.4 TR1 and 7.3 TR7

ibmi 7.4 tr1 and 7.3 tr7

It is a good job I checked the pages for the new Technology Refreshes today as they now contain data, and I can find announcement documents too. But there has been no fanfare on platforms like Twitter that I would have expected.

It would appear that the two TRs contain the same Db2 for i enhancements. Just having a quick look I can see several I am very interested in trying:

  • Views to see which modules and service programs and bound to programs
  • Db2 services for data queues
  • Db2 services for the IFS
  • A way to use SQL to write directly to the job log

In other words lots of good stuff to play with and write about in the future.

Links to all of the information for these TRs are:

Both TRs will be available on November 15, 2019.

If/when I find out more I will add to this post.
