Fields

Collection Interval
The time interval specified for the collection of near-term history data. This unit of time was specified when the Near-Term History Data Collector was started.
Start
The start time of the first interval in this display.
Report Interval
This field determines the report interval. It is set on the Near-Term History Report Option panel.
Combine Level
This field reflects the selected combine level. If Combine Level is NONE, the report interval is the same as the collection interval. Possible values:
HOURLY
Data will be reported in hourly intervals.
NONE
Data will be reported in the time unit specified by the collection interval.
End
The end time of the last interval in this display.
Allocated Size
The allocated size of the group buffer pool in 4KB blocks.
Current® Directory/Data Ratio
The current ratio of directory entries to data pages.
Checkpoint Interval
The checkpoint interval for the group buffer pool, in minutes.
Pending Directory/Data Ratio
The pending ratio of directory entries to data pages. This value will be different from the current ratio if an ALTER GROUPBUFFERPOOL command has been issued with a new value for the RATIO parameter. The change will not take effect until the next time the group buffer pool is allocated.
GBP Castout Threshold
Group buffer pool castout threshold. When the number of changed pages in the group buffer pool exceeds this threshold, castout will be initiated. You can change this value with the GBPOOLT parameter on the ALTER GROUPBUFFERPOOL command.
Number Directory Entries
The actual number of allocated directory entries.
Castout Class Threshold
Group buffer pool castout class threshold. When the number of changed pages for a particular castout class exceeds this threshold, castout will be initiated. You can change this value with the CLASST parameter on the ALTER GROUPBUFFERPOOL command.
Number of Data Pages
The actual number of allocated data pages.
Read Hit %
The percentage of all Reads to the group buffer pool for which the needed data was found and returned to the member.
For each of the following fields, the following statistics are provided:
INTERVAL QUANTITY
The amount of activities that occur during the interval.
/MINUTE
Rate per minute. The number under /MINUTE (in parentheses) is the number of minutes in the interval.
/THREAD
Rate per thread. The number under /THREAD (in parentheses) is the number of Create Threads during the interval.
/COMMIT
Rate per Commit. The number under /COMMIT (in parentheses) is the number of Commit requests (including abort requests) during the interval.
Reads - Cross Invalidation: Data Returned
The number of reads to the group buffer pool required because the page in the member's buffer pool was invalidated, where the data was found and returned to the member.
Reads - Cross Invalidation: Data not in GBP-R/W Interest
The number of reads to the group buffer pool required because the page in the member's buffer pool was invalidated, where:
  • The data was not found in the group buffer pool and the member had to go to DASD to read the page
  • Other members had read/write interest in the pageset, so Db2 created a directory entry for this page if it did not already exist.
Reads - Page Not Found: Data Returned
The number of reads to the group buffer pool required because the page was not in the member's buffer pool where the data was found and returned to the member.
Reads - Page Not Found: Data not in GBP-R/W Interest
The number of reads to the group buffer pool required because the page was not in the member's buffer pool, where:
  • The data was not found in the group buffer pool and the member had to go to DASD to read the page
  • Other members had read/write interest in the pageset, so Db2 created a directory entry for this page if it did not already exist.
Writes - Synchronous: Changed Pages
The number of changed pages that are synchronously written to the group buffer pool. Pages can be forced out before the application commits if a buffer pool threshold is reached, or when P-lock negotiation forces the pages on the Vertical Deferred Write queue to be written to the group buffer pool.
Writes - Synchronous: Clean Pages
The number of clean pages that are synchronously written to the group buffer pool. Db2 writes clean pages for pagesets and partitions defined with GBPCACHE ALL.
Writes - Asynchronous: Changed Pages
The number of changed pages asynchronously written to the group buffer pool. Pages can be forced out before the application commits if a buffer pool threshold is reached, or when P-lock negotiation forces the pages on the Vertical Deferred Write queue to be written to the group buffer pool.
Writes - Asynchronous: Clean Pages
The number of clean pages asynchronously written to the group buffer pool. Db2 writes clean pages for pagesets and partitions defined with GBPCACHE ALL.
Write Failed - No Storage
The number of group buffer pool write requests that failed because of a shortage of coupling facility resources.
Pages Castout to DASD
The number of pages that this member has castout to DASD from the group buffer pool.
GBP Castout Threshold Reached
The number of times that castout was initiated because the group buffer pool castout threshold was reached.
Castout Class Threshold Reached
The number of times that castout was initiated because the castout class threshold was reached.
Other Requests
The number of other requests.
