DB2 Subsystem Performance & Tuning

Course Code: DZOSPT
Duration: 4 days (non-data sharing)
5 days (including data sharing)
Audience: Database Administrators, System Administrators and Capacity Planners.
Prerequisites: A working knowledge of DB2 objects and architecture.
Summary: This course places particular emphasis on the monitoring, performance and tuning of the DB2 for z/OS subsystem. This includes:
  • The DB2 workload assessment
  • Response times and throughput
  • Buffers, EDM, RID and Sort pools
  • Threads
  • Data set placement/management
  • Locking & concurrency
  • IRLM
  • Logging
  • Database Services Address Space (DBM1) optimisation
  • CICS considerations
  • Data sharing considerations (5th day – optional)
Central to tuning the above-listed facilities are the accounting and statistics reports and DB2 commands (e.g., -DISPLAY BUFFER/THREAD).
Objectives: Upon completion of this presentation, the participant should be able to:
  • Plan performance tuning
  • Determine which tools to use
  • Measure system performance
  • Determine if subsystem will be cost-effective
  • Determine the cause of performance problems
  • Decide when and what to tune
  • Interpret relevant accounting and statistics reports
  • Tune DB2 subsystem facilities
Lab: Numerous exercises involving accounting reports, statistics reports and command displays.
