CHECKP FREQUENCY

Checkpoint frequency. This shows either the number of minutes (1 through 60) or the number of DB2 log records between the start of successive checkpoints. DB2 starts a new checkpoint when this value is reached.

You can use the SET LOG command to change the number of log records between checkpoints dynamically. Valid values are 1-60 when specifying a time value and 200-16000000 when specifying a number of records.

Install parameter CHECKPOINT FREQ on panel DSNTIPL, ZPARM CHKFREQ in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1LOGL

TRACETAB SIZE(4K)

Shows the size of the RES trace table in 4 KB blocks. A value of 16 means 64 KB have been allocated for this table.

This is the default destination for the global trace records in DB2. Most trace records require 32-byte entries; events with more than three data items require 64-byte entries.

Install parameter TRACE SIZE on panel DSNTIPN, or ZPARM TRACTBL in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1TRSZ

GLOBAL CLASSES

Shows whether the global trace is started automatically when DB2 is started.

When YES, the global trace starts for the default classes (classes 1, 2, and 3) whenever DB2 is started, and additional data consistency checks are made whenever a data page or index page is modified. When ALL, the global trace is automatically started for all classes.

The global trace is used to diagnose problems in DB2 but it also impacts DB2 performance. If you have production systems requiring high performance, you might consider turning off global trace. If you do this, be aware that this presents a serviceability exposure. In the event of a system failure, IBM service personnel will ask you to turn on global trace and attempt to recreate the problem.

Install parameter TRACE AUTO START on panel DSNTIPN, or ZPARM TRACSTR in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1TRST

Each of the following is a separate user:
  • Each TSO foreground user executing a DSN command.
  • Each TSO foreground user connected to DB2 through the call attachment facility (CAF). This can include QMF users running in TSO foreground or user-written CAF applications running in TSO foreground.

When the number of TSO users attempting to access DB2 exceeds this limit, connection requests are rejected.

There is no subsystem parameter to control the maximum concurrent connections for IMS and CICS. These are controlled by using IMS and CICS facilities. For CICS attachment, the maximum number of connections to DB2 can be controlled using the resource control table (RCT) TYPE=INIT THRDMAX value.

Install parameter MAX TSO CONNECT on panel DSNTIPE, or ZPARM IDFORE in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1IDF

This identifier can be a long string. If there is insufficient space to show the complete string, the string is truncated in the report block. The complete string is shown in a separate list of long names at the end of the report.

Install parameter RESOURCE AUTHID on panel DSNTIPP, or ZPARM RLFAUTH in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1RLFA

PSEUDOCLOSE MIN

The number of minutes that a page set or partition can remain in read-write mode since it was last updated. When this limit or the RO SWITCH CHKPTS is reached, DB2 changes the page set or partition to read-only.

This can improve performance for recovery, logging, and data-sharing processing.

Install parameter RO SWITCH TIME on panel DSNTIPL, or ZPARM PCLOSET in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1TMR

REM THRDS(ACTIVE)

The maximum number of database access threads (DBATs) that can be active concurrently.

When this limit has been reached, DB2 uses the value of DDF THREADS on panel DSNTIPR to decide how to handle a new allocation request.

When DDF THREADS is ACTIVE and MAX REMOTE CONNECTED has not been reached, the allocation request is allowed but any further processing for the connection is queued waiting for an active database access thread to terminate.

When DDF THREADS is INACTIVE and MAX REMOTE CONNECTED has not been reached, the allocation request is allowed and is processed when DB2 can assign an unused database access thread slot to the connection.

The total number of threads accessing data concurrently is the sum of MAX USERS and MAX REMOTE ACTIVE. The maximum allowable value for this sum is 2000.

Install parameter MAX REMOTE ACTIVE on panel DSNTIPE, or ZPARM MAXDBAT in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1RMT

  • TSO user (whether running a DSN command or a DB2 request from QMF)
  • Batch job (whether running a DSN command or a DB2 utility)
  • IMS region that can access DB2
  • Active CICS transaction that can access DB2
  • Task connected to DB2 through the call attachment facility.

Install parameter MAX USERS on panel DSNTIPE, or ZPARM CTHREAD in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1CT

REM THRDS(CONN)

The maximum allowed number of concurrent remote connections.

When this limit is reached, any new connection request is rejected.

Install parameter MAX REMOTE CONNECTED on panel DSNTIPE, or ZPARM CONDBAT in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1CDB

UR LOG THRESHOLD

Shows the number of log records that are to be written by an uncommitted unit of recovery (UR) before DB2 issues a warning message to the console. This provides notification of a long-running UR. Long-running URs might result in a lengthy DB2 restart or a lengthy recovery situation for critical tables. Log records are specified in 1-K (1000 log records) increments. A value of 0 indicates that no write check is to be performed.

Install parameter UR LOG WRITE CHECK on panel DSNTIPL, ZPARM URLGWTH in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1LWCK

LIMIT BACKOUT

Shows whether some backward log processing should be postponed.

When NO, DB2 backward log processing processes all inflight units of recovery (URs) and URs for abending transactions.

When YES, DB2 postpones backout processing for some units of work until the command RECOVER POSTPONED is issued.

AUTO (default) postpones some backout processing but automatically starts the backout processing when DB2 restarts and begins accepting new work.

When YES or AUTO, backout processing runs concurrently with new work. Page sets or partitions with backout work pending are unavailable until their backout work is complete.

Install parameter LIMIT BACKOUT on panel DSNTIPL, or ZPARM LBACKOUT in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1LMBO

EXTENDED SECURITY

Extended security options.

When YES (strongly recommended), detailed reason codes are returned to a DRDA level 3 client when a DDF connection request fails because of security errors. When using SNA protocols, the requester must have included a product that supports the extended security sense codes, such as DB2 Connect™ version 5 and subsequent releases.

RACF users can change their passwords using the DRDA change password function. This support is only for DRDA level 3 requesters that have implemented support for changing passwords.

YES allows properly enabled DRDA clients to determine the cause of security failures without requiring DB2 operator support.

When NO, generic error codes are returned to the clients and RACF users are prevented from changing their passwords.

Install parameter EXTENDED SECURITY on panel DSNTIPR, or ZPARM EXTSEC in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1SCER

UR CHECK FREQ

Shows the number of checkpoint cycles to complete before DB2 issues a warning message to the console and writes an IFCID 313 record for an uncommitted, indoubt, or inflight unit of recovery (UR). The default is 0, which disables this option.

Install parameter UR CHECK FREQ on panel DSNTIPL, or ZPARM URCHKTH in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1URCK

BACKOUT DURATION

Indicates how much of the log to process for backout when LIMIT BACKOUT = YES or AUTO.

During restart, backward log processing continues until both of the following events occur:
  • All inflight and inabort URs with update activity against the catalog or directory are backed out.
  • The number of log records processed is equal to the number specified in BACKOUT DURATION times the value of CHECKPOINT FREQ. If the checkpoint frequency is specified in minutes, the number of records processed is the default of 50000 records multiplied by the value of CHECKPOINT FREQ.
In-flight and in-abort URs that are not completely backed out during restart are converted to postponed-abort status. Page sets or partitions with postponed-backout work are put into restart pending (RESTP). This state blocks all access to the object other than access by the command RECOVER POSTPONED or by automatic backout processing performed by DB2 when LIMITED BACKOUT = AUTO.

A table space might be in restart pending mode, without the associated index spaces also in restart pending mode. This happens if a postponed abort UR makes updates only to non-indexed fields of a table in a table space. In this case, the indexes are accessible to SQL (for index-only queries), even though the table space is inaccessible.

Install parameter BACKOUT DURATION on panel DSNTIPL, or ZPARM BACKODUR in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1BDUR

WLM ENVIRONMENT

Workload manager environment.

Install parameter WLM ENVIRONMENT on panel DSNTIPX, or ZPARM WLMENV in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1WLME

Indicates whether DB2 generates a trace record at the originating task level that summarizes accounting information for all parallel tasks.

DB2 parameter PTASKROL in DSN6SYSP.

Field Name: QWP1PROL

UNIT PRICE TRACK

Start of changeSpecifies whether DB2® performs detailed tracking for measured usage pricing. You can select the following values: End of change

Start of change
YES
DB2 does detailed measured usage tracking if SMF type 89 records are activated. When SMF89 is set to YES, DB2 invokes a z/OS® service on every entry into or exit out of DB2 to ensure accurate tracking.
NO (the default value)
DB2 does not do detailed measured usage tracking. If the SMF type 89 record is activated, only high-level tracking is recorded in the SMF type 89 record. Selecting NO reduces CPU usage, but also increases the amount of time spent in DB2 as measured by SMF 89.
Note: Select SMF89 YES only if you use measured usage pricing.
End of change

Field Name: QWP1OLAC

LEVEL ID CHECKPS

Start of changeShows how often, in checkpoints, the level ID of a page set or partition is updated. When zero (0), down-level detection is disabled. When five (5), down-level is enabled. End of change

Use the following criteria to decide on a suitable value for this parameter:
  • How often are backup and restore methods used outside of the DB2 control (such as DSN1COPY or DFDSS dump and restore)? If rarely used, there is no need to update the level ID frequently.
  • How many page sets are open for update at the same time? If DB2 updates level IDs frequently, there is extra protection against down-level page sets. However, a performance degradation can occur if the level IDs for many page sets must be set at every checkpoint.
  • How often does the subsystem take checkpoints? If the DB2 subsystem takes frequent system checkpoints, set the level ID frequency to a higher value.

Install parameter LEVELID UPDATE FREQ on panel DSNTIPL, or ZPARM DLDFREQ in DSN6SYSP.

When NO, DB2 writes an accounting record when a DDF thread is made inactive, or when signon occurs for an RRSAF thread. A value in the range 2 through 65535 shows the number of times an end-user identifier should occur before DB2 writes an accounting record. An end-user identifier is the concatenation of the end-user user ID, end-user transaction name, and the end-user workstation name.

These values can be set by DDF threads using SERVER CONNECT and SET CLIENT calls, and by RRSAF threads using the RRSAF SIGN, AUTH SIGNON, and CONTEXT SIGNON functions.

An accounting record might be written prior to the number of end user occurrences in the following instances:
  • When an internal storage threshold is reached for the accounting RRSAF signon call.
  • When the thread deallocates, the accumulated accounting data for all end users on this thread is written (one record per end user).
  • When this parameter is dynamically changed to deactivate accounting accumulation. In this instance, the next end-UR (for DDF thread) or signon (for a RRSAF thread) causes DB2 to write the accumulated accounting data for all end users on this thread (one record per end user).
