Highlighting

OMEGAMON® XE for DB2 PE highlights some fields in this panel to draw your attention to their current status:
Table 1. Highlighted fields in EDM Pool Information panel
Field Exception Reason
Pages In Use EDMU The utilization of the EDM pool has reached or exceeded its threshold.
Pct In Use EDMU The utilization of the EDM pool has reached or exceeded its threshold.

Navigation

For additional information about
  • the contents of the EDM pool, select option A-EDM Pool Snapshot. For more information, see the description of panel EDM Pool Snapshot Summary.
  • the corresponding near-term history display, enter H on the top line and press Enter.
  • other topics, use the PF keys.

Fields

Collection Interval
In this field, always REALTIME is displayed to indicate that you are looking at the realtime version of this panel instead of the corresponding near-term history panel. On the EDM Pool Information panel, the collection interval and the report interval are the same.
Start
The start time of the report interval that is currently displayed.
Report Interval
The amount of time in the last cycle, for example, the time between two presses of the Enter key.
End
The end time of the report interval that is currently displayed.
Pool Usage
The following types of EDM pools are available:
  • EDM Database Descriptor (DBD) Pool
  • EDM Statement (STMT) Pool
  • EDM Skeleton (SKEL) Pool
For the above pool types, the following information is displayed. It is based on a snapshot of the data that is taken at the end of the report interval.
Pages
The number of pages that is dedicated to a particular type of pool usage.
PCT
The percentage of the EDM pool dedicated to that type of usage.
Total
The total number of pages in this type of type of EDM pool. For DB2 12 the Total Pages is based on DSNZPARM configured Maximum.
Held
The number of pages held in this type of type of EDM pool.
SKCT Held
Pages held in SKEL pool for skeleton cursor tables.
DBD Held
Pages held in DBD pool.
STMT Held
Pages held in STMT pool.
Stealable
The total number of pages that can be reused.
Free
The number of pages currently not used by any object in this type of EDM pool.
In Use
The number of pages that are used in this type of EDM pool.
This applies only to DBD and SKEL pools.
The percentage of DBD In Use is calculated like this:
((In Use - Stealable/Reusable)/Total)*100
The percentage of SKEL in Use is calculated like this:
((SKCTs + SKPTs) - Stealable/Reusable)/Total)*100
xProc Request (QISEKSPG)
The total number of requests for PROCS.
This applies to DB2 10.
xProc Total Allocation (QISEKSPA)
The total number of pages that are allocated for xPROCS.
This applies to DB2 10.
Shareable Static SQL Requests (QISEKSPG)
The number of shareable static SQL statement requests.
This applies to DB2 11 or higher.
Total Allocation Shareable Static SQL (QISEKSPA8)
The total storage that is allocated to shareable static SQL statements.
This applies to DB2 11 or higher.
SKEL Reusable (QISEKLRU)
The total number of SKPT and SKCT pages that can be reused.
This applies to DB2 10 or higher.
DBD Reusable (QISEDLRU)
The total number of DBD pages that can be reused.
This applies to DB2 10 or higher.
Plan Below the Bar Allocation (QISESQCB)
The amount of storage below the bar that is allocated for plans.
This applies to DB2 10 or higher.
Package Below the Bar Allocation (QISESQKB)
The amount of storage below the bar that is allocated for packages.
This applies to DB2 10 or higher.
Plan Above the Bar Allocation (QISESQCA)
The amount of storage above the bar that is allocated for plans.
This applies to DB2 10 or higher.
Package Above the Bar Allocation (QISESQKA)
The amount of storage above the bar that is allocated for packages.
This applies to DB2 10 or higher.
For each of the following fields, the following statistics are provided:
TOTAL QUANTITY
The amount of activities that occurred since DB2 is started.
INTERVAL QUANTITY
The amount of activities that occur during the interval.
/SECOND
Rate per second. The number under /SECOND (in parentheses) is the number of seconds in the interval.
/THREAD
Rate per thread. The number under /THREAD (in parentheses) is the number of Create Threads during the interval.
/COMMIT
Rate per Commit. The number under /COMMIT (in parentheses) is the number of Commit requests (including abort requests) during the interval.

Requests for cursor tables.
CT Loads
Cursor tables that have to be loaded from DASD.
% of CT Loads from DASD
The percentage of CT requests that resulted in CT loads from DASD.
