DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 910 - DB2

Backup Performance may degrade after applying 9.1 Fix Pack 8 or 
greater when executing the Backup command without explicitly 
specifying the Parallelism and Buffer Values and when letting 
DB2 automatically compute the values. 
 
Automatic values chosen by DB2 when no parallelism or buffer 
size is explicitly chosen is lower in FP8+ compared to FP7. 
 
For example, In one case: 
Fix Pack "7" : 
 
Autonomic backup/restore - using parallelism = 12. 
 
Using buffer size = 3328, number = 24 
 
 
 
 
Fixpak "9" : 
 
Autonomic backup/restore - using parallelism = 2. 
 
Using buffer size = 4096, number = 4.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         * 
* Backup Performance may degrade after upgrading to 9.1 FP8+   * 
* from 9.1 FP7                                                 *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              * 
* Please upgrade to Fix pack 11 or greater containing the fix  * 
****************************************************************

Run the Backup command specifying explicit values for 
Parallelism and Buffer Size.
