Changed features, improvements, and RFEs in version 10.2.4

A list of features changed and improved since the previous release and major improvements.

The following features have changed or have been introduced or removed since the previous release:
Drivers for Db2 for z/OS no longer shipped with the product
Whereas previously the drivers for Db2 for z/OS were included in the Dynamic Workload Console package, now they must be obtained from your Db2 for z/OS installation. If you use Db2 for z/OS with the Dynamic Workload Console version 10.2.4 or later, transfer the drivers in binary mode from the directory where you installed Db2 for z/OS to a directory of your choice. Specify this directory using the dbdriverspath parameter when running the configuredb or dwcinst scripts.

Requests for Enhancements (RFEs) give customers the opportunity to collaborate directly with the product development team and other users. The team prioritizes and develops new product features based on proposals made by customers.
