Group Buffer Pool Workspace

The DB2 Group Buffer Pool workspaces provide detailed coupling facility structure information about your group buffer pool (GBP) structures.

Using the Group Buffer Pool workspaces, you can:

• Monitor structure utilization over a period of time
• Verify the status of all connections to a structure

You must be running in a DB2 data sharing environment with the MVS/ESA Coupling Facility to take advantage of the DB2 Group Buffer Pools feature.

Based on the information that this workspace provides, you can recommend changes, set up situations, and verify that your recommended changes improve system performance.
