data set compression

Post by qt_ky »

I noticed a new IBM technote published recently. I don't have the link handy at the moment... Has anyone had a chance to test this to see how it affects job duration, CPU, and storage?
Problem:
Add support for dataset compression.

Resolution:
Add the environment variable APT_DS_COMPRESSION=1 to enable dataset compression.

We're going straight to 11.7.1 (from 8.7) so won't be able to offer cogent response. FYI 11.7.1 is GA within days.
