Problem description: | |
An incredible amount of uncached registry reads was noticed from db2 traces - 1315 in 120 seconds, almost 10 times a second on each physical partition (8 MLNs). Uncached read means we are checking dynamic registry value, - we actually go to registry file on disk, lock it, read from it, unlock it. Since in DPF registry files are on NFS, this is too much overhead and too high of a price for using dynamic registries. Extrapolating to say for example 32 servers, - we attempt to read from global registry 320 times a second. This APAR fixes the issue of uncached registry reads. | |
