Release : 20.0

Component : General Services for DB2

Resolution

This is an expected behavior. The APPLCOMPAT value is taken from SSIDVERF. Unless the applcompat is changed, Most packages will always stay on V12R1M500. There is a set of packages however:'BPASQL8' , BPASQLB1', 'BPASQL','RMA#DBTB', 'BPAFE08', 'BPAFE09', RMA#DBSP', SQA$CSYN','[email protected]','[email protected]','[email protected]' that are always bound with the function level of the SSID. Since the tools don't migrate to UTS objects in PTDB for some packages  the applcompat must be lower than 504 otherwise multi table T won't be allowed to be created. IN General the V12R1M500 is de facto baseline.
