Status: Closed |
SMALL PRIVATE MEMORY LEAK ON THE DB2 SERVER EVERY TIME AN OPTIMIZATION PROFILE IS LOADED |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
A small amount of private memory is leaked when an optimization
profile is first accessed. SAP systems are vulnerable through
the use of the DB2WORKLOAD=SAP registry setting.
In most cases, the memory leak is minimal, as optimizer profile
information is cached in the catalog cache. The leak only
occurs when the profile is loaded into the cache, i.e. on the
first access after database activation, and on subsequent
accesses only if the profile has been evicted from the cache
(due to limited space/configuration).
On SAP systems, the leak is only likely to be significant when
the package cache is constrained, causing frequent statement
recompilations.
The memory leak is outside of DB2's memory manager, so it cannot
be seen by DB2 diagnostic tools. It can only be monitored as
part of overall private memory usage by the db2sysc/db2syscs.exe
process. The best way to identify the problem is:
- confirm vulnerability
- monitor the catalog cache and package cache hit ratio
- assess the catalog cache/package cache configuration
- confirm that private memory usage for the db2sysc process is
growing consistently over time |
