DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC88619 Status: Closed

HIGH SYS CPU, PERFORMANCE IMPACT, LATCHING ISSUES WHEN USING DB2 V97 NEW
DEADLOCK EVENT MONITORING WITH HISTORY

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
When new deadlock event monitoring is used with history on busy 
systems, it may cause high SYS CPU, latching and performance 
impact to running transactions. 
 
These are the steps used to enable new deadlock event 
monitoring: 
 
1. db2 connect to <dbname> 
 
2. db2 update db cfg using mon_deadlock HISTORY 
 
3. db2 update db cfg using MON_LCK_MSG_LVL 2 
 
4. db2 "create event monitor <eventmon_name> for locking write 
to unformatted event table (table <schema_name>.<table_name> in 
<tablespace_name> PCTDEACTIVATE 90)" 
 
5. db2 set event monitor  <eventmon_name> STATE 1

Local Fix:
As a temporary workaround, collect deadlock event monitoring 
without history. 
 
This can be accomplished by updating db cfg mon_deadlock with 
WITHOUT_HIST: 
 
db2 update db cfg using mon_deadlock WITHOUT_HIST
