Regression v95fp9 - Performance degradation when reading registry variables under heavy workloads. | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
when a DB2 process tries to read the registry variables on a very busy system the performance degradation might occur. Its due to the retry mechanism added to handle the timing related issue in another code path, which increased the number of calls to certain DB2 functions. The increase in number of calls to those functions added up more execution time, resulted in performance degradation. So the performance impact could be present in any workload you run in v95fp9, which probably is negligible for most of the typical workloads and can be noticeable on a busy system. Calling db2set frequently under a heavy workload will increase the possibility of hitting this issue. | |
Problem Summary: | |
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * DB2 Server installed systems. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * See Error Description * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Upgrading to DB2 version v95fp10 resolves this issue. * **************************************************************** | |
Local Fix: | |
Reduce the calls to db2set, especially if its run too frequently to update the registry variables. | |
