DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC68268 Status: Closed

PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT TO MEMORY ALLOCATION CODE FOR CONCURRENT
INSERT/UPDATE WITH CODE PAGE CONVERSION

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
It was determined that during heavy concurrent insert/update 
operations involving code page conversion into a unicode 
database that the malloc'ing of memory from the OS can become a 
bottleneck during the code page conversion process. 
 
environment: 
 
1. DB2 9.5 and up 
2. The database codepage is UTF. 
3. The application codepage is not. 
4. There are frequent and concurrent insert/update to the 
database. 
 
this was uncovered during a customer PMR with 50-100 concurrent 
import jobs against the same table.  After a certain point the 
percentage of time spent in ossLockGetConflict() reaches 75% 
trying to malloc and free memory.
Problem Summary:
Users Affected: Any doing heavy concurrent insert/update 
 
operations with code page conversion. 
Problem Description: During a heavy concurrent insert / update 
with code page conversion, perfomance can be affected by memory 
operations 
Problem Summary: see above.
