Book Description
DB2 9 for z/OS is an exciting new version, with many improvements in performance and little regression. DB2 V9 improves availability and security, as well as adds greatly to SQL and XML functions. Optimization improvements include more SQL functions to optimize, improved statistics for the optimizer, better optimization techniques, and a new approach to providing information for tuning. V8 SQL procedures were not eligible to run on the IBM System z9 Integrated Information Processor (zIIP), but changing to use the native SQL procedures on DB2 V9 makes the work eligible for zIIP processing. The performance of varying length data can improve substantially if there are large numbers of varying length columns. Several improvements in disk access can reduce the time for sequential disk access and improve data rates. The key DB2 9 for z/OS performance improvements include reduced CPU time in many utilities, deep synergy with IBM System z hardware and z/OS software, improved performance and scalability for inserts and LOBs, improved SQL optimization, zIIP processing for remote native SQL procedures, index compression, reduced CPU time for data with varying lengths, and better sequential access. Virtual storage use below the 2 GB bar is also improved. This IBM Redbooks publication provides an overview of the performance impact of DB2 9 for z/OS, especially performance scalability for transactions, CPU, and elapsed time for queries and utilities. We discuss the overall performance and possible impacts when moving from version to version. We include performance measurements that were made in the laboratory and provide some estimates. Keep in mind that your results are likely to vary, as the conditions and work will differ. In this book, we assume that you are familiar with DB2 V9. See DB2 9 for z/OS Technical Overview, SG24-7330, for an introduction to the new functions.

Book Description
IBM® DB2® buffer pools are still a key resource for ensuring good performance. This has become increasingly important as the difference between processor speed and disk response time for a random access I/O widens in each new generation of processor. An IBM System z® processor can be configured with large amounts of storage, which if used wisely, can help compensate by using storage to avoid synchronous I/O. Several changes in buffer pool management have been provided by DB2 10 and DB2 11. The purpose of this IBM RedpaperTM is to cover the following topics: Describe the functions of the DB2 11 buffer pools Introduce a number of matrixes for read and write performance of a buffer pool Provide information about how to set up and monitor the DB2 buffer pools The paper is intended to be read by DB2 system administrators, but it might be of interest to any IBM z/OS® performance specialist. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with DB2 and performance tuning. In this paper, we also assume that you are familiar with DB2 11 for z/OS performance. See DB2 11 for z/OS Technical Overview, SG24-8180; and DB2 11 for z/OS Performance Topics, SG24-8222, for more information about DB2 11 functions and their performance.

Book Description
This IBM® Redbooks® publication discusses in detail the facilities of DB2® for z/OS®, which allow complete monitoring of a DB2 environment. It focuses on the use of the DB2 instrumentation facility component (IFC) to provide monitoring of DB2 data and events and includes suggestions for related tuning. We discuss the collection of statistics for the verification of performance of the various components of the DB2 system and accounting for tracking the behavior of the applications. We have intentionally omitted considerations for query optimization; they are worth a separate document. Use this book to activate the right traces to help you monitor the performance of your DB2 system and to tune the various aspects of subsystem and application performance.

Book Description
There has been a considerable focus on performance improvements as one of the main themes in recent IBM DB2® releases, and DB2 12 for IBM z/OS® is certainly no exception. With the high-value data retained on DB2 for z/OS and the z Systems platform, customers are increasingly attempting to extract value from that data for competitive advantage. Although customers have historically moved data off platform to gain insight, the landscape has changed significantly and allowed z Systems to again converge operational systems with analytics for real-time insight. Business-critical analytics is now requiring the same levels of service as expected for operational systems, and real-time or near real-time currency of data is expected. Hence the resurgence of z Systems. As a precursor to this shift, IDAA brought the data warehouse back to DB2 for z/OS and, with its tight integration with DB2, significantly reduces data latency as compared to the ETL processing that is involved with moving data to a stand-alone data warehouse environment. That change has opened up new opportunities for operational systems to extend the breadth of analytics processing without affecting the mission-critical system and integrating near real-time analytics within that system, all while maintaining the same z Systems qualities of service. Apache Spark on z/OS and Linux for System z also allow analytics in-place, in real-time or near real-time. Enabling Spark natively on z Systems reduces the security risk of multiple copies of the Enterprise data, while providing an application developer-friendly platform for faster insight in a simplified and more secure analytics framework. How is all of this relevant to DB2 for z/OS? Given that z Systems is proving again to be the core Enterprise Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) system, it is critical that DB2 for z/OS can handle its traditional transactional applications and address the requirements for analytics processing that might not be candidates for these rapidly evolving targeted analytics systems. And not only are there opportunities for DB2 for z/OS to play an increasing role in analytics, the complexity of the transactional systems is increasing. Analytics is being integrated within the scope of those transactions. DB2 12 for z/OS has targeted performance to increase the success of new application deployments and integration of analytics to ensure that we keep pace with the rapid evolution of IDAA and Spark as equal partners in HTAP systems. This paper describes the enhancements delivered specifically by the query processing engine of DB2. This engine is generally called the optimizer or the Relational Data Services (RDS) components, which encompasses the query transformation, access path selection, run time, and parallelism. DB2 12 for z/OS also delivers improvements targeted at OLTP applications, which are the realm of the Data Manager, Index Manager, and Buffer Manager components (to name a few), and are not identified here. Although the performance measurement focus is based on reducing CPU, improvement in elapsed time is likely to be similarly achieved as CPU is reduced and performance constraints alleviated. However, elapsed time improvements can be achieved with parallelism, and DB2 12 does increase the percentage offload for parallel child tasks, which can further reduce chargeable CPU for analytics workloads.

Book Description
DB2® 10 for z/OS can reduce the total DB2 CPU demand from 5-20%, compared to DB2 9, when you take advantage of all the enhancements. Many CPU reductions are built in directly to DB2, requiring no application changes. Some enhancements are implemented through normal DB2 activities through rebinding, restructuring database definitions, improving applications, and utility processing. The CPU demand reduction features have the potential to provide significant total cost of ownership savings based on the application mix and transaction types. Improvements in optimization reduce costs by processing SQL automatically with more efficient data access paths. Improvements through a range-list index scan access method, list prefetch for IN-list, more parallelism for select and index insert processing, better work file usage, better record identifier (RID) pool overflow management, improved sequential detection, faster log I/O, access path certainty evaluation for static SQL, and improved distributed data facility (DDF) transaction flow all provide more efficiency without changes to applications. These enhancements can reduce total CPU enterprise costs because of improved efficiency in the DB2 10 for z/OS. DB2 10 includes numerous performance enhancements for Large Objects (LOBs) that save disk space for small LOBs and that provide dramatically better performance for LOB retrieval, inserts, load, and import/export using DB2 utilities. DB210 can also more effectively REORG partitions that contain LOBs. This IBM Redbooks® publication® provides an overview of the performance impact of DB2 10 for z/OS discussing the overall performance and possible impacts when moving from version to version. We include performance measurements that were made in the laboratory and provide some estimates. Keep in mind that your results are likely to vary, as the conditions and work will differ. In this book, we assume that you are somewhat familiar with DB2 10 for z/OS. See DB2 10 for z/OS Technical Overview, SG24-7892-00, for an introduction to the new functions.
