DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC69680 Status: Closed

PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION AFTER THE UPGRADE TO DB2 V97 FROM EARLIER DB2
VERSIONS WHEN STMT_CONC IS ON.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2
Problem description:
Performance degradation may be noticed after the upgrade to DB2 
v97 from previous versions of DB2 using statement concentrator 
which is introduced in DB2 v97. 
 
During the performance degradation, package cache growth can be 
seen which may result into package cache overflow. 
 
To identify the issue, db2pd -apm dynamic can be collected for 
couple of iterations during the performance issue and you can 
see the number of variation inserts, the number of statement 
inserts/deletes into the package cache grows signifacantly. 
 
 
Also from traces collected, or from tprof output, you can see 
the following function being called and be the top user of CPU: 
 
sqlra_csm_del_stmt_empties 
 
This issue can only happen when stmt_conc database configuration 
parameter is set to LITERALS.
