BUFFER POOL SIZE field

The value of the BUFFER POOL SIZE field is the buffer pool size that is calculated by the CLIST.

Acceptable values: none
Default: 101 M 1
Update: run CLIST again
DSNZPxxx: none
Notes:
  1. Db2 calculates the value when you run the installation CLIST with INSTALL for INSTALL TYPE on panel DSNTIPA1, based on values that you specify on panel DSNTIPD.

    When you run the installation CLIST with MIGRATE for INSTALL TYPE on panel DSNTIPA1, Db2 12 uses the Db2 11 field value. For more information, see Calculating storage requirements with the installation CLIST

The Override column of panel DSNTIPC controls whether Db2 uses the calculated value:
  • To accept the calculated value, ensure that the Override column contains no value.
  • To override the calculated value, specify a value in the Override column.

This field is protected and cannot be changed during update processing. If you want to change the size of a buffer pool, you must use the command ALTER BUFFERPOOL.
