DISABLE EDM RTS field (DISABLE_EDMRTS subsystem parameter)

The DISABLE_EDMRTS subsystem parameter specifies whether to disable the collection of real-time statistics by the environmental description manager (EDM). By default, EDM collects real-time statistics to track when packages were last used.

Acceptable values: NO, YES
Default: NO
Update: option 29 on panel DSNTIPB
DSNZPxxx: DSN6SPRM DISABLE_EDMRTS
NO
EDM continues to collect real-time statistics about the last use of packages. This is the recommended value.
YES
EDM does not collect real-time statistics about the last use of packages. YES might be appropriate in the following situations:
  • You have no need to collect information about the last use of packages.
  • The SYSIBM.SYSPACKAGE table is persistently unavailable, which prevents the recording of EDM real-time statistics.
  • Deferred externalization of these statistics to the SYSIBM.SYSPACKAGE table causes excessive Db2 shutdown time.
  • Collection of these EDM statistics causes performance degradation.

In a data sharing environment, all members should use the same setting for this parameter.
