*JOBCTL (Job Control Authority)
Whatever worked with *JOBCTL in IBM i 6.1 will continue to work
QIBM_DB_SQLADM Database Administrator

This is a database specific alternative to *JOBCTL. It is a superset of the function authorized
by QIBM_DB_SYSMON.
Examples:
- Change parallel degree for DB2 SMP feature
- Work with Plan Cache
- Work with OmniFind Text Search Server
QIBM_DB_SYSMON Database Information
This allows a user to view some system level details, but not specifics about operations or
anything related to changing or controlling the database.
Examples: User Authorization Commands:
- QUSRJOBI for SQL information CHGFCNUSG FCNID(QIBM_DB_SQLADM)
- Show SQL Information for Jobs USER(userid) USAGE(*ALLOWED)
CHGFCNUSG FCNID(QIBM_DB_SYSMON)

Database Reorganization User specified starting point
Availability and Recovery improvement:
New option on Reorganize Physical File Member to initiate the reorganize starting at a
point within the table instead of starting at the beginning of the file.

(especially when reorganizing to preserve arrival sequence)
The reorganize will start at that location and proceed to the end of the file
Makes it easier to finish incomplete reorganizes or target the reorganize at the most

Tracking Important System Limits
In production environments a new type of health indicator is needed to understand

when the system is trending towards an outage or serious condition.
Automatic tracking of System Limits enables you to:

a) Understand when an application is trending towards a failure
b) Identify applications which are operating inefficiently
c) Establish a general use mechanism for communicating limit information
-- How close am I coming to hitting the Maximum Active jobs limit?

IBM Power Systems
Index Advisor Show Statements - improved query identification
Launching into Show Statements from the Index Advisor has changed to use
precise filtering of the SQL Plan Cache.
Prior to this enhancement, Table Match results were returned.

Show Statements brought back all queries that matched this criteria:
a) The plan is still in the Plan Cache To continue to use Table Match,
b) That referenced the target table launch Show Statements
outside of Index Advisor
c) Caused any index advice to be generated
After this enhancement, Exact Match results are returned.

Show Statements brings back all queries that match this criteria:
a) The plan is still in the Plan Cache
b) That referenced the target table
c) The execution of the query results in generation of index advice that
exactly matches the index advice filters provided by IBM i Navigator:
Keys Advised, Leading Order Independent Keys, NLSS Table, NLSS
Schema, Index Type, Partition name and Page Size

IBM Power Systems IBM i 7.1 TR6 Candidate
Condense Index Advisor Show Statements
We are planning to deliver this additional enhancement in TR6:
Launching into Show Statements from the Condensed Index Advisor is

changed to use Key Match filtering of the SQL Plan Cache.
Condensed advice is unique in that the Leading Order Independent Key

information is used and discarded while collapsing advice into the smallest
possible set.
Instead of using Table Match or Exact Match, launching Show Statements

from Condensed index advice will return queries that match every order
combination of keys.
a) The plan is still in the Plan Cache
b) That referenced the target table
c) The execution of the query results in generation of index advice that
exactly matches the index advice filters provided by System i Navigator:
NLSS Table, NLSS Schema, Index Type, Partition name and Page Size
d) The advice matches any combination or subset of the Key columns
