Field Name: QWP4CDC

ASYNC DRAIN START

The percentage below 100% DSMAX that open data sets can reach before an asynchronous drain is started. The default is 1, meaning that asynchronous drain starts when the number of open data sets reaches 99% of DSMAX.

DB2 defers closing and deallocating the table spaces or indexes until the number of open data sets reaches one of the following limits:
  • The MVS limit for the number of concurrently open data sets.
  • 99% (default) of the value that you specified for DSMAX.

When one of these limits is reached, DB2 closes a number of data sets not in use equal to 3% (default) of the value DSMAX. Thus, DSMAX controls not only the limit of open data sets, but also the number of data sets that are closed when that limit is reached.

DB2 parameter SPRMTDD in DSN6SPRM.

LOCALSITE
This is the site of the current system. Multiple image copies are made and are operational here. This is the default.
RECOVERYSITE
This an alternative site for recovery purposes.

The RECOVER utility uses this parameter to determine what site the current system is on and recovers everything from the copies of data registered at that site.

The RECOVER and MERGECOPY utilities use this to determine whether COPYDDN or RECOVERDDN is allowed with NEWCOPY NO.

Install parameter SITE TYPE on panel DSNTIPO, or ZPARM SITETYP in DSN6SPRM.

A DB2 tracker site is a separate DB2 subsystem or data sharing group that exists solely for the purpose of keeping shadow copies of your primary site's data. No independent work can be run on the tracker site.

Install parameter TRACKER TYPE on panel DSNTIPO, or ZPARM TRKRSITE in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4TRKR

ENFORCE DPROP

Shows whether DataPropagator NonRelational (DPROP) is used to propagate SQL changes made to tables defined with DATA CAPTURE CHANGES.

1
No changes are propagated.
2
DPROP propagates SQL changes, and those changes made to tables defined with DATA CAPTURE CHANGES are only allowed when monitor trace class 6 is active, DPROP is installed, and the DB2 application is running in an IMS environment. If any of these conditions are not met, no changes to the DB2 table are permitted.
3
Data propagation occurs when monitor trace class 6 is active, DPROP is installed, and the DB2 application is running in an IMS environment. In this instance, an application that is not running in an IMS environment can update DB2 tables defined with DATA CAPTURE CHANGES. However, these changes are not propagated to IMS.
ANY
Allows subsystems to propagate some data with DPROP and other data with a different propagation program.
Tables that should only be updated by DB2 applications running in an IMS environment can be protected using the following methods:
  • Use the ENABLE parameter on BIND to specify a specific attachment facility through which updates to data propagation tables can be made.
  • Define a validation procedure for data propagation tables to define which plans can update those tables.
  • Allow update authority for data propagation tables to a group of authorization IDs that can only run in IMS.

Install parameter DPROP SUPPORT on panel DSNTIPO, or ZPARM EDPROP and CHGDC in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4ENF

DDCS ESCAPE CHAR

Sets of names in the ART and ORT can be represented by patterns that use the underscore (_) and percent sign (%) characters in the same way as in an SQL LIKE predicate.

Install parameter ART/ORT ESCAPE CHARACTER on panel DSNTIPZ, or ZPARM RGFESCP in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4ESC

WAIT RETAIN LOCKS

Indicates whether a request is suspended until an incompatible retained lock becomes available.

This value is only significant in a data sharing environment. It indicates how long a transaction should wait for a lock on a resource if another DB2 in the data sharing group has failed and is holding an incompatible lock on that resource. Locks held by failed DB2 members are called retained locks.

This value is a multiplier that is applied to the connection's normal timeout value. For example, if the retained lock multiplier is 2, then the timeout period for a call attachment connection that is waiting for a retained lock is twice the normal CAF timeout period. The default is 0, meaning applications do not wait for incompatible retained locks, the lock request is immediately rejected and the application receives a "resource unavailable" SQLCODE.

Install parameter RETAINED LOCK TIMEOUT on panel DSNTIPI, or ZPARM RETLWAIT in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4WAIT

IMS/BMP TIMEOUT

The number of RESOURCE TIMEOUT units that an IMS BMP connection waits for a lock to be released.

The default value is 4, meaning that an IMS BMP connection can wait 4 times the resource timeout value for a resource.

Install parameter IMS BMP TIMEOUT on panel DSNTIPI, or ZPARM BMPTOUT in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4WBMP

BIND NEW PACKAGE

Shows whether BIND or BINDADD authority is required to BIND a new version of an existing package.

  • After use on DB2 Vn-1 (as previously described), is later used again on DB2 Vn
NO
Prevent DB2 from performing any automatic rebind operations under any circumstances.
COEXIST
Allows automatic rebind operation to be performed in a DB2 Data Sharing coexistence environment when the plan/package:
  • Is marked "invalid" or
  • Was last bound in DB2 Vn and is running on DB2 Vn-1

Install parameter AUTO BIND on panel DSNTIPO, or ZPARM ABIND in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4ABN

Install parameter USE PROTECTION on panel DSNTIPP, or ZPARM AUTH in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4AUTH

MAX APPL LOCKS

The maximum number of page or row locks that a single application can hold concurrently on all table spaces.

Start of changeThis includes locks on data pages, index pages, and rows that the program acquires when it accesses table spaces.End of change

The limit applies to all table spaces defined with the LOCKSIZE PAGE, LOCKSIZE ROW, or LOCKSIZE ANY options. 0 means that there is no limit to the number of page and row locks a program can acquire.

DB2 assumes that 250 bytes of storage are required for each lock. If NO is specified for CROSS MEMORY, the value of this field has to take into account the available lock space. If referential constraints between tables is defined, the value of this field might need to be increased.

Install parameter LOCKS PER USER on panel DSNTIPJ, or ZPARM NUMLKUS in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4LKUS

CACHE DYNAMIC SQL

Field Name: QWP4AUCA

REP READ U LOCK

Indicates whether the U (UPDATE) lock is used when using repeatable read (RR) or read stability (RS) isolation to access a table.

When YES, the U lock is used for an updated cursor with repeatable read or read stability.

When NO, the S lock is used for an updated cursor with repeatable read or read stability. If the cursor in the running applications includes the clause FOR UPDATE OF, but updates are infrequent, S locks generally provide better performance.

Install parameter U LOCK FOR RR/RS on panel DSNTIPI, or ZPARM RRULOCK in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4RRU

Field Name: QWP4MXKD

ACCEL MODELING

The ACCELMODEL subsystem parameter determines whether to enable modeling of query workload for evaluating potential savings for both the accumulated elapsed time and CPU time if the plan is executed on an accelerator.

Only queries that are deemed eligible for execution on an accelerator by DB2® will be included in accelerator-related fields of Accounting trace IFCID 3:

No
Specifies that no modeling is to be performed. This is the default setting.
Yes
Specifies that modeling is to be performed. Consider acceleration eligibility for an SQL statement and update the new Accounting fields accordingly.

To enable modeling, the IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS® special register CURRENT QUERY ACCELERATION and ZPARM QUERY_ACCELERATION (set by the CURRENT QUERY ACCEL) must be set to NONE for accelerator modeling. All other values for the special register and ZPARM will take the existing logic of IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS. This means that existing queries that already execute on the accelerator with CURRENT QUERY ACCELERATION = ENABLE, ENABLE WITH FAILBACK, ELIGIBLE, or ALL will not be part of the accelerator-related Accounting fields.

Install parameter SORT POOL SIZE on panel DSNTIPC, or ZPARM SRTPOOL in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4SPOL

STATIC DESCRIBE

Shows whether DB2 builds a DESCRIBE SQLDA when binding static SQL statements.

A DESCRIBE cannot be issued against a static SQL statement except:
  • In a distributed environment, where DB2 for z/OS is the server and the requester supports extended dynamic SQL. In this instance, a DESCRIBE on an SQL statement in the extended dynamic package appears to DB2 as a DESCRIBE on a static SQL statement in the DB2 package.
  • When an application uses a stored procedure result set, the application must allocate a cursor for that result set. The application can do this using a DESCRIBE CURSOR statement. The SQL statement actually described is the one with the cursor declared in the stored procedure. If that statement is static, a static SQL statement must be described.

When NO (default), DB2 does not generate a DESCRIBE SQLDA at BIND time for static SQL statements. If a DESCRIBE request is received at execution time, DB2 generates an error. However, if the describe request comes from a DESCRIBE CURSOR statement, DB2 satisfies the request but is only able to provide data type and length information. Column names are not provided.

When YES, DB2 generates a DESCRIBE SQLDA at BIND time so that DESCRIBE requests for static SQL can be satisfied during execution.

Note: You must rebind packages after this value has been set to YES.

This option increases the size of some packages because the DESCRIBE SQLDA is now stored with each statically-bound SQL SELECT statement.

Install parameter DESCRIBE FOR STATIC on panel DSNTIP4, or ZPARM DESCSTAT in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4DSST

RIDPOOL SIZE (KB)

The amount of storage needed for the RID pool.

This can be the value calculated by the CLIST, based on input from previous panels, or the value entered in the Override column at installation time.

When 0, DB2 does not use access paths or join methods that depend on RID pool storage.

Install parameter RID POOL SIZE on panel DSNTIPC, or ZPARM MAXRBLK in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4RMAX

YES
DB2 checks threads at commit points and periodically returns unused storage to the system.
NO
DB2 does not check threads at commit points and returns acquired storage on deallocation.

Install parameter CONTRACT THREAD STG on panel DSNTIPE, or ZPARM CONTSTOR in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4CONT

MAX DEG OF PARALL

Indicates the upper limit on the degree of parallelism for a parallel group.

This field has a value of 0. This means PARAMDEG is not set and DB2 can set a default maximum degree of parallelism based on the system configuration.

Install parameter MAX DEGREE on panel DSNTIP8, or ZPARM PARAMDEG in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4MDEG

32 KB hold about 380 schema.routine.type entries.

Install parameter ROUTINE AUTH CACHE on panel DSNTIPP, or ZPARM CACHERAC in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4RAC

USE X LOCK

The locking method used when performing a searched UPDATE or DELETE.

When NO, DB2 uses an S or U lock when scanning for qualifying rows. For any qualifying rows or pages the lock is upgraded to an X lock before performing the update or delete. For nonqualifying rows or pages the lock is released if using ISOLATION(CS). For ISOLATION(RS), or ISOLATION(RR), an S lock is retained on the rows or pages until the next commit point. This option is used to achieve higher rates of concurrency.

When YES, DB2 gets an X lock on qualifying rows or pages. For ISOLATION(CS), the lock is released if the rows or pages are not updated or deleted. For ISOLATION(RS) or ISOLATION(RR), an X lock is retained until the next commit point. This is beneficial in a data sharing environment when most or all searched updates and deletes use an index. The downside is that if searched updates or deletes result in a tablespace scan, the likelihood of timeouts and deadlocks greatly increases.

Install parameter X LOCK FOR SEARCHED U/D on panel DSNTIPI, or ZPARM XLKUPDLT in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4XLUD

STAR JOIN ENABL
Star join enable indicator. Possible values are:
-1 (DISABLE)
Star join is disabled. This is the default.
0 (ENABLE)
Star join is enabled when the join meets the conditions described in the DB2 administration information for performance.
1
Star join is enabled without comparing the ratio of the fact-table cardinality to the cardinality of the largest dimension table. The table with the largest cardinality is the fact table.
n
This is the star join fact table and the largest dimension table ratio. The lowest ratio of the cardinality of the fact table compared to the cardinality of the largest dimension table for which star join is used. 2 < N <= 32768.

Install parameter STAR JOIN QUERIES on panel DSNTIP8, or ZPARM STARJOIN in DSN6SPRM.

Background and Tuning Information

This parameter allows you to set the star join ratio to increase or decrease the dimension table and fact table ratio rule according to application needs.

This parameter also allows you to disable star join if needed for performance reasons. The default is to allow star join if star join detection is successful.

Star join technique is only used when these conditions exist:
  • At least two dimensions exist.
  • The join predicates are between the fact table and the dimension tables only. (No join predicates lie between the dimension tables.)
  • The join predicates are equijoin predicates.
  • No correlated subqueries cross dimensions.
  • No cycles within the dimensions exist. This means that no predicate can reference more than one candidate dimension table with respect to the same column of the fact table.
  • No outer join exists.
  • The data type and length of the join predicates are the same.
  • The fact table is larger than the dimension table.

Field Name: QWP4SJRT

NPAGES THRESHOLD
This parameter allows you to specify the optimizer threshold for qualifying a table as small.
-1
Every table qualifies as small.
0
No table qualifies as small (this is the default).
1
Only tables with zero pages qualify as small.
2
Tables with less than two pages qualify as small.
10
Tables with less than ten pages qualify as small.
502
Tables with less than 502 pages, and tables that have not had statistics collected qualify as small. For example, when NPAGES = -1.

DB2 parameter NPGTHRSH in DSN6SPRM.

Background and Tuning Information

Tables can be populated using insert just prior to their use by queries and then cleared immediately on completion of the queries. These tables are permanent even though the data they contain is transient.

This can cause problems when RUNSTATS is run overnight, or at other times when these tables are empty. This gives the optimizer the false indication that these tables contain no data when in fact, the tables will contain data when the query executes. This causes the optimizer to pick an inefficient access path. Usually the optimizer chooses to do a table scan, which would be the most efficient access path if the table were truly empty. Because the table is not empty when the query executes, it would be more efficient to use matching index access.

With this parameter, you can force the optimizer to treat tables containing no data as small tables. For these tables, the optimizer will:
  • Select a matching index access rather than a table space scan and non-matching index access.
  • Select the index with the most matching columns when more than one index qualifies for matching index access.
  • Select indexes with the same number of matching columns on cost.

Field Name: QWP4NPAG

DBADM CREATE VIEW

MANAGE THREAD STO

Start of changeIn DB2 12 this field is a serviceability field.End of change

Shows whether DB2 uses storage management to optimize the amount of working storage consumed by individual threads.

Install parameter MANAGE THREAD STORAGE on panel DSNTIPE, or ZPARM MINSTOR in DSN6SPRM.

For best performance, this parameter should be NO, meaning DB2 does not manage thread storage.

When YES, DB2 uses best fit algorithm to manage and assign thread storage. This can help on systems that have many long-running threads and that are constrained on DBM1 address space.

Field Name: QWP4MSTG

EVAL UNCOMMITTED

Shows whether stage 1 predicate evaluation during table access can proceed upon uncommitted data or not.

This applies to isolation levels of Read Stability and Cursor Stability only.

When NO (default), predicate evaluation occurs only on committed data (or on the application's own uncommitted changes). NO ensures that all qualifying data is always included in the answer set.

When YES, predicate evaluation can occur upon uncommitted data. Only committed data is returned to the query. However, a decision can be made to omit a row from the answer set based on uncommitted data. Later, undo processing (statement rollback or statement failure) could cause the data to revert to a state that satisfies the predicate.

When YES, DB2 can request fewer locks than in previous versions when processing isolation level Read Stability and Cursor Stability queries. The number of locks avoided is related to the access path of the query, the number of rows evaluated when processing the stage 1 predicate of the query, and the number of those rows that are overflow rows. Specifically, for isolation level Read Stability and Cursor Stability queries, locks are avoided for rows that do not satisfy the stage 1 predicate, provided they are not overflow rows. Table access includes table space scans and index-to-data access, including ridlist-to-data access. For isolation Cursor Stability ridlist production, all row/page locking is avoided.

Install parameter EVALUATE UNCOMMITTED on panel DSNTIP8, or ZPARM EVALUNC in DSN6SPRM.

Field Name: QWP4EVUN

STATISTICS ROLLUP

Shows whether RUNSTATS utility aggregates the partition level statistics, even though some parts may not contain data.

The CLIST calculates a statement cache size. This storage pool is located above the 2 GB bar.

The value used at DB2 startup time is either calculated by the CLIST based on input from other installation information or an override value.

For record trace, this value is shown in bytes. For other reports, the value is shown in kilobytes.

Install parameter EDM STATEMENT CACHE on panel DSNTIPC, or ZPARM EDMSTMTC in DSN6SPRM.

STAR JOIN THRESH

The minimum number of tables in the star schema query block, including the fact table, dimensions tables, and snowflake tables. This value is considered only if the subsystem parameter STARJOIN qualifies the query for star join.

Possible values are:
0
Star join is disabled. This is the default.
1, 2, or 3
Star join is always considered.
4 through 255
Star join is considered if the query block has at least the specified number of tables.
256 and greater
Star join is never considered.

DB2 parameter SJTABLES in DSN6SPRM.

Background and Tuning Information

Although star join can reduce bind time significantly it does not provide optimal performance in all cases. Performance of star join depends on a number of factors such as the available indexes on the fact table, the cluster ratio of the indexes, and the selectivity of rows through local and join predicates. Follow these general guidelines for setting the value of SJTABLES:
  • If you have star schema queries with less than 10 tables and you want to make the star join method applicable to all qualified queries, set the value of SJTABLES to a low number, such as 5.
  • If you have some star schema queries that are not necessarily suitable for star join but want to use star join for relatively large queries, use the default. The star join method will be considered for all qualified queries that have 10 or more tables.
  • If you have star schema queries but normally do not want to use star join, you could increase SJTABLES, say to 15. This will greatly cut the bind time for large queries and avoid a potential bind time SQL return code -101 for large qualified queries.

1
Indicates that queries that include data that is encoded with the EBCDIC mixed or graphic encoding schemes are eligible for acceleration.
2
Indicates that an INSERT with SELECT statement is eligible for acceleration. However, only the SELECT operation of the query is processed by the accelerator server.
3
Indicates that queries that contain built-in functions for which DB2 processes each byte of the input string, rather than each character of the input string, can run on an accelerator server.
4
The queries that reference an expression with a DATE data type that uses a LOCAL format are not blocked from executing on IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS. IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS will use the dd/mm/yyyy format to interpret the input and output date value.
