Selecting BIND options for optimum performance

You must coordinate the BIND options that you select for a plan with the thread types used by the transactions associated with that plan.

For an overview of the bind process, see The bind process. For advice on selecting thread types, see Selecting thread types for optimum performance.

The bind option VALIDATE can also affect performance. Use VALIDATE(BIND) in a CICS® environment. For more information, see Bind options and considerations for programs.

It is important that you coordinate your DB2CONN, DB2ENTRY, and BIND options. For more information, see Coordinating your DB2CONN, DB2ENTRY, and BIND options.
