I/O Activity Workload Block Example

The following example shows the I/O activity workload block.
--- I/O ACTIVITY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Field description

Here is a description of the field labels shown in the I/O activity workload block:
DATABASE
The database name. If the name is not available, the decimal DBID/OBID is printed.
PAGESET
The page set name. If the name is not available, the decimal DBID/OBID is printed.
MEMBER
The name of the Db2® member within the Db2 data sharing group. This field shows N/P in a non-data-sharing environment.
BP
The buffer pool name.
I/O REQUEST TOTAL
The total number of I/O requests.
I/O REQUEST AET
The average elapsed time for each I/O request.
READ REQUEST TOTAL
The number of read I/O requests of a specific type.
READ REQUEST TYPE
The type of read request:
SYNCH
Synchronous read request
SEQPF
Sequential prefetch request
DYNPF
Dynamic prefetch request
LSTPF
List prefetch request
READ REQUEST AET/WITH
The average elapsed time for a read with I/O of a specific type.
READ REQUEST %WITH
The percentage of total read requests with I/O for a particular type.
READ REQUEST PAGE/WITH
The pages read for each read request with I/O of a particular type.
READ REQUEST %WITHOUT
The percentage of total read requests without I/O for a particular type. This can occur because all the pages requested by a prefetch read were already in the buffer pool.
WRITE REQUEST TOTAL
The number of write I/O requests.
WRITE REQUEST TYPE
The type of write request.
WRITE REQUEST CAST
Indicates whether the write operations were initiated due to a coupling facility castout.
WRITE REQUEST AET
The average elapsed time for each write.
WRITE REQUEST PAGE/WRITE
The number of pages written.
