Optimizing DB2 Database Logging
The number of parallel streams that the DB2 UDB for OS/390 and z/OS environment can support is often limited more by the DB2 logging throughput rate than anything else. The commit process waits for a successful write to the active log and, if there is contention on the logs, performance suffers. Possible solutions to ease bottlenecks caused by logging performance include:
- Increase the number of output buffers for writing active log datasets. The size of the output buffer can be changed in
DSNZPARM OUTBUFF
.- Increase the active log size. If logs fill up faster than they can be archived, performance suffers.
- Determine the optimal number of DB2 active logs based on peak EIM loads plus a cushion.
- Place the active log data sets on separate dedicated volumes.
- Place archive logs on a virtual tape system (VTS), or disk if VTS is not available.
- Define all table spaces (base tables and interface tables) with compression, which reduces logging, and decreases I/O.
- Consider data sharing when a single subsystem cannot handle the logging tasks.
