RELATED IDEAS

(DB2 only) Object Migration process is generating individual reorg commands (i.e. for each ADD/DROP column [Add/Remove BO Field]) instead of grouping and running a single reorg. Causes VERY long OMPs for VERY large tables [BOs].

DBA finding on potential product defect or RFE - single reorg instead of 1 per ADD/DROP column in TRIRIGA Object Migration process [New/Remove field in Business Object]

So, starting back in version 9.7 of Db2, IBM allowed for unlimited number of table alters in a single unit of work. After 3 consecutive units of work, a reorg must be performed. So consequently, all the drop columns could be one single unit of work and all the alter table add columns could be a single unit of work and then only one reorg would be performed.

TRIRIGA Object Migration process is generating individual reorg commands (which are individual units of work) instead of grouping and running a single reorg.

i.e. from attached excerpt from an Object Migration logging enabled server.log with a single BO OM package being imported... 
Per the rule of 3 units of work per 1 reorg, 21 reorgs were performed for 59 ADDs and 3 DROPs instead of just 1 reorg

On very large tables (i.e. T_TRIWORKTASK with >2MM rowcount and 300+ columns), this took 32 hours to OM import a single BO.

    Thank you for the Idea and notification of how we can improve this for our customers and business partners. We will add this to our roadmap (unlikely to get it for 9.2 however we will get to this).
