Determining the size of the Fast Path buffer pool for DBCTL

If you are not using the Fast Path 64-bit buffer manager, you can calculate the number of buffers a Fast Path buffer pool must contain in a DBCTL environment by using the formula DBBF ≥ A + N + LO + DBFX + CN.

The terms in the formula above are described as follows:

DBBF
Fast Path buffer pool size as specified
A
Number of active areas that have SDEP segments
N
Total of all NBAs
LO
Largest overflow buffer allocation among active BMPs and CCTL threads
DBFX
System buffer allocation
CN
Total of all CNBAs
