DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC71638 Status: Closed

DB2TOP EXITS WITHOUT SHOWING ANY DATA WHEN PLAYING WITH COLLECTED FILE IN
REPLAY MODE

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
DB2TOP exits without showing any of the data collected:

*** End of input stream reached, size was 19279506... 
No performance data to analyze for option 'l' 
Exiting... 
 
 
 
Problem is because the stream size limit is 100M/hour. 
 
The above output show that db2top is estimating at 
[03:51:05] the collection rate is 189.1M/hour and db2top 
collected 18.3M in 
about 10 minutes.

Local Fix:
If problem happens in replay mode, increase stream size by 
adding streamsize=###M  to .db2toprc file and rerun. 
 
To estimate the size to of 'streadmsize' to use in .db2toprc use 
the info from the previous attempt. 
 
In the example above it shows 18.3M within 10 minutes. 
Estimate the streamsize by taking the 18.3M * 6=110M/hour. Since 
the volume 
of captured snapshot data can flucturate leave a big margin 
size. Increase 4-5 times the 
size estimated.  In this case set streamsize=500 in .db2toprc 
file
