DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC69438 Status: Closed

"DB2 LIST UTILITIES SHOW DETAIL" DISPLAYS WRONG ESTIMATE OF
"TOT AL WORK" DURING BACKUP, WHEN TABLE AND INDEX COMPRESSION IS
USED

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
The problem manifests itself only on the DMS tablespaces with a 
high High Water Mark value , but a low "usedPages" value. 
Under such circumstances the performance monitor sees a spike at 
the moment when the backup process is completing reading a DMS 
tablespace. 
Therefore "db2 list utilities show detail" tends to display a 
wrong estimate of "Total Work" during backup, in cases where 
table and index compression is done.
