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

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

    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.
