DB2 Backup performance: how named pipes can help us if compression is the bottleneck?

Kamil Kuduk 270004DM66 | | Comments (4) | Visits (5206)

Tweet
We all know how important it is to have the data spread across few tablespaces in order to speed up the backup. DB2 utilizes IO parallelism during the backup by processing multiple tablespaces at the same time (BACKUP ... PARALLELISM <N>). E.g. if you would have 10 tablespaces and go with parallelism 5, DB2 will spawn 5 buffer manipulator EDUs (db2bm) that will read 5 tablespaces in parallel (with the help of prefetchers). Once given db2bm is done with a tablespace, it will pick up the next one from those, which were not backed up yet.... [More]

50 DB2 Nuggets #14 : Expert Advice - Continuous availability and DB2 migration using InfoSphere Replication Server

Jun Su Lee 27000725GN | | Comments (4) | Visits (9841)

Tweet
Continuous availibility is the concept that enables 24/7 access to IT-enabled business functions, processes and applications. And minimizing planned downtime is what business and IT departments consider seriously nowadays. Especially, minimizing and setting the appropriate downtime is a bit challenging decision in case of DB2 version upgrade or migration to another system,  because we also need to consider the time for getting back to original system in preparation for any unexpected problem after the planned change works. ...

HADR slow ! Log disk ? or communication ?

Jun Su Lee 27000725GN | | Comments (3) | Visits (4186)

Tweet
Once you find DB2 HADR ( High Availability Disaster Recovery ) operation is somehow slow, what's the next ? You may want to narrow down if this delay is from writing to transaction log disk subsystem or something on network communication. Here is a sample scenario. - Intermittently, the number of 'commit active' status applications spikes. - Application team reports this has very serious impact even though that status stays very short 1 second period.   ( Application processes increasing with High CPU consumption due to...

DB2 LUW: Why round-robin WLB cannot distribute connections evenly to all members?

oxufufei 270003RT82 | | Comments (3) | Visits (3988)

Tweet
This is a problem I met last year, I just get the time to write it down, hope it helps! I have a pureScale with 8 members, say member 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,  and I have some applications running on a web application server will access a database on this pureScale,  the application server manages a database connection pool, and the applications share the database connections within the pool. The design of the connection pool is setting connection count to 1000, and workload should be evenly distributed to 8 members.  I know workload... [More]

How to check the LOB column I/O performance

Jun Su Lee 27000725GN | | Comments (3) | Visits (6555)

Tweet
Have you ever been curious about the way to verify if a LOB column I/O with a table uses file system cache or NOT ? There are common two perception points regarding LOB. 1. LOB uses file system cache. That means it does NOT utilise the buffer pool. 2. By setting with inline LOB, it uses buffer pool.. Above things may or may not be true. For example, one of my friend had the following doubt. "Does  LOB I/O utilize O/S File system caching even though tablespace ... [More]

75 ways to demystify DB2: #53: Techtip: How to find DB2 JDBC driver version and relate it to DB2 version?

swatithorve 27000312DB | | Comments (3) | Visits (6480)

Hello! We often get a question from customers "How to find the version of DB2 JDBC driver they are using?" Answer is simple, you need to run below command:   The following command will retrieve the JCC driver version if executed from the command line: java com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Jcc -version Or for drivers that are not yet installed: java -cp ./db2jcc.jar com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Jcc -version   For eg.   Once you find the DB2 JDBC driver version, next question will be, "What DB2 release it belongs to?" We have... [More]
