Navigation

  • Lock information, select option A-LOCK STATISTICS at the top of the top of the panel.
  • Near-term history activity, select option H-HISTORICAL at the top of the panel.
  • Other topics, use the PF keys.

Fields

Collection Interval
Shows the REALTIME to indicate that you are looking at the realtime version of this panel and not at the corresponding near-term history panel. The collection interval and the report interval are the same in this panel.
Start
The start time of the interval currently displayed.
Report Interval
This field determines the report interval. It is set on the Near-Term History Report Option panel.
End
The end time of the interval currently displayed.
Total Global Contention
The percent of synchronous XES lock, change, or unlock requests that resulted in global contention.
False Contention Percentage
The rate of false contentions to real contentions. This number should be no more than 50%.
P-Lock/Notify Engines
The number of engines available for P-lock exit or notify exit requests.
For each of the following fields, the following statistics values are provided:
TOTAL QUANTITY
Total quantity, which reflects the amount of activities since DB2 was started.
INTERVAL QUANTITY
Interval quantity, which reflects the amount of activities during the last cycle.
/SECOND
Rate per second during the last cycle. The number under /SECOND (in parentheses) is the number of seconds in the interval.
/THREAD
Rate per thread during the last cycle. The number under /THREAD (in parentheses) is the number of Create Threads during the interval.
/COMMIT
Rate per Commit during the last cycle. The number under /COMMIT (in parentheses) is the number of commit requests (including abort requests) during the interval.
P-lock Lock Requests
Number of lock requests for P-locks.
P-lock Change Requests
Number of change requests for P-locks.
P-lock Unlock Requests
Number of unlock requests for P-locks.
XES Lock Requests
The number of lock requests (both logical and physical) that are propagated to MVS XES synchronously under the caller's execution unit. This count does not include suspended requests. Only the most restrictive lock for a particular resource is propagated to XES and the coupling facility.
XES Change Requests
The number of change requests (both logical and physical) that are propagated to MVS XES synchronously under the caller's execution unit. This count does not include suspended requests.
XES Unlock Requests
The number of unlock requests (both logical and physical) that are propagated to MVS XES synchronously under the caller's execution unit. This count does not include suspended requests.
XES Asynchronous Requests
The number of L-locks and P-locks propagated to XES asynchronously. This occurs when a new inter-DB2 interest occurs on a parent resource or when a request completes after the requestor's execution unit has been suspended.
XES Sync to Async Conv
The number of sync to async heuristic conversions for LOCK requests in XES. This conversion is done when XES determines that it is more efficient to drive the request asynchronously to the CF.
Suspends-IRLM Global Contention
The number of suspends due to Internal Resource Lock Manager (IRLM) global resource contentions. IRLM lock states were in conflict and inter-system communication is required to resolve the conflict.
Suspends-XES Global Contention
The number of suspends due to MVS XES global resource contentions that were not IRLM-level contentions. The XES lock states were in conflict, but the IRLM lock states were not.
Suspends-False Contention
The number of suspends caused by MVS XES false contentions. XES detects hash class contention when two different locks on different resources hash to the same entry in the coupling facility lock table. The requester is suspended until it is determined that no real lock contention exists.
Negotiate Pageset P-Locks
The number of times this Db2 member was driven to negotiate a pageset/partition P-lock because of changing inter-DB2 interest levels on the pageset/partition.
Negotiate Page P-Locks
The number of times this Db2 member was driven to negotiate a page P-lock because of inter-DB2 P-lock contention.
Negotiate Other P-Locks
The number of times this Db2 member was driven to negotiate a P-lock type other than pageset/partition or page.
Negotiate P-Lock Change
The number of times a P-lock change request was issued during P-lock negotiation.
Incompatible Retained Locks
The number of global lock or change requests that failed because of an incompatible retained lock. Certain P-locks can be retained because of a system failure. Another DB2 member cannot access the data that the retained P-lock is protecting unless it requests a P-lock in a compatible state.
Notify Messages Sent
The number of notify messages sent.
Notify Messages Received
The number of notify messages received.
Engine Not Available
The number of times an engine was not available for a P-lock exit or a notify exit request.
Very Conditional Rejections
The number of rejections of very conditional requests which could not get processed because of the heuristic algorithm used by XES.
IRLM System Activity Counters:
CB Latch Cont.
Active IRLM Control Block latch contention counter.
Global Deadlocks
Total number of global deadlocks.
Local Resource Cont.
Local resource contentions.
Global Resource Cont.
Global resource contentions.
Cont. Exit Visits
Visits to the contention exit, and IRLM granted the request. How many times lock contention was found and the request was sent to IRLM contention Exit, and the request was granted.
False Cont.
False contentions.
Plock Exit Visits
Plock Exit counter.
Notify Exit Visits
Notify Exit counter.
