Configuring IBM z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) specialty engines for Db2
Portions of certain Db2 processing are eligible for dispatching, as implemented by IBM z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) specialty engines.
Before you begin
See the z/OS® information about planning for, configuring, and using zIIP engines in Using System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP).
About this task
How much you can reduce general-purpose processor use varies based on the amount of workload executed by the zIIP specialty engine, among other factors. You must ensure that sufficient IBM z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) capacity is available to the LPAR where Db2 runs to maximize zIIPoffload, and support latency requirements.
