$ gunzip 8.0.6-PROSPECT-IF0003-server.tar.gz
$ gtar -xvpf 8.0.6-PROSPECT-IF0003-server.tar
$ echo $FLEXPM_HOMEIf there are multiple Prospect installations on the server, source the .profile for the Prospect installation for which this patch should be applied.
$ cd $FLEXPM_HOME/patches/Core8.0.6_P3

Once the installation has completed, re-enable the datasource in Prospect Web (if you disabled it before starting the patch installation)
This new client version, 8.0.6.3, fixes the APARS IZ47231, IZ31190, IZ39078 and IZ46982

This patch contains the feature that enhances the granularity of parallel execution during the Analyze phase of
part_maint process. This way, it improves the performances of Analyze phase of part_maint process.
In order to handle the data manipulation for this feature, a new cli called part_tablespaces.sh has been introduced. Following the cli usage:
part_tablespaces.sh -O | |
part_tablespaces.sh -S | [ -T |
part_tablespaces.sh -h | |
Where: |
|
-O | : output |
-S | : set |
-T <tablespace> | : for the specified tablespace |
-t <table> | : for the specified table |
-m <degree> | : move parallelism degree during part_maint activity |
-s <degree> | : analyze parallelism degree during part_maint activity |
: <degree> = 0: reset value (use the upper hierarchy level) | |
: <degree> = 1: disable parallelism for specified tablespace/table | |
: <degree> = >1 && <99: apply specified parallelism | |
-h | : help, show usage |
For appropriate parameter settings, please, contact IBM Customer support.
