DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2

Backup Performance may degrade after applying 9.5 Fix Pack 5 or 
greater when executing the Backup command without explicitly 
specifying the Parallelism and Buffer Values and when letting 
DB2 automatically compute the values. 
 
Automatic values chosen by DB2 when no parallelism or buffer 
size is explicitly chosen is lower in FP5+ compared to FP4. 
 
For example, In one case: 
Fix Pack "4" : 
 
Autonomic backup/restore - using parallelism = 12. 
 
Using buffer size = 3328, number = 24 
 
 
 
 
Fixpak "5" : 
 
Autonomic backup/restore - using parallelism = 2. 
 
Using buffer size = 4096, number = 4.

****************************************************************

Run the Backup command specifying explicit values for 
Parallelism and Buffer Size.
