DB2 - Problem description
Problem IC95224 | Status: Closed |
CONTENTION DURING CONCURRENT LOADS CAUSED BY UNNECESSARY SMP PAGE SEARCHES | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
It is possible to observe a drop in performance when there are many concurrently running tasks requiring new extents to be allocated in a single tablespace. DB2 searches the Space Map Pages to find free extents. When there are no free extents tracked in these SMP pages, it is possible that DB2 performs repeated searches on SMP pages known to contain no free extent references. This can lead to a contention for the different tasks requiring a new extent, when there is a long chain of such SMP pages. ( e.g. in a large tablespace with a small extent size. ) | |

Local Fix: | |
Create a tablespace with a larger extent size thereby reducing the number of SMP pages required. Split tables into several table spaces. | |
