Allow reuse of QSQSVR prestart jobs for multithread jobs running embedded SQL in server mode

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Please allow release of QSQSVR prestart jobs back to the pool upon thread termination for embedded SQL (SQLRPGLE) running in server mode in multithread capable jobs.


Currently, when a multithreaded job running in server mode (set by QWTCHGJB) spawns a thread which executes any embedded SQL statement, a QSQSVR prestart job is taken from the pool and attached to that job. When the spawned thread terminates, the prestart job is not released back to the pool. It remains idle in CNDW status and it is released only when the multithread job ends. This leads to exhaustion of prestart jobs pool.


It would be enough if it was possible to execute something like:


//start thread

Exec SQL CONNECT;

//do some stuff

Exec SQL DISCONNECT;

//terminate thread

    The CEAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority Idea that is important to be addressed.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
