- Lessons we have learned
4The project Geomarketing
- The service center of a bank needed to provide a
control instrument for marketing activities - The marketing actions should be controlled by
spatial data and operational data - The requirements for the platforms were
- Spatial Data should reside Windows
- Operational Data is stored on DB2 for z/OS
- There are existing DB2 for z/OS
datawarehouseswhich should be used as source - There are 3 different LPARs with DB2 data
- RACF should be used to autenticate users

6The project Geomarketing
- A sample request
- Show me all customers who live in the city of
Fürstenfeldbruck which do not have any shares - The result is a Map of the city Fürstenfeldbruck
where you can see the areas of the city combined
with the result set of the request
7The project Geomarketing
8The project Geomarketing
- Project plan
- Suppliers had to build a prototype
- The customer evaluated the prototypes
- Performance was a key success factor
- Performance also was the main challenge
- DB2 had to be accessed with only little ressource
consumtion - DB2 Utilities should not be interfered
- Sometimes a great number of rows is transferred
- Distributed Queries(Oracle/DB2) had to be used
9The Project Geomarketing
- The way how Transparent Gateway for DB2(TG4DB2)
works had to be understood - Features which speed up Bulk Transfers with
TG4DB2 had to be used - Efficient queries to access DB2 had to be
developed - That means the DB2 Optimizer had to be known
- The DB2 Locking behaviour had to be understood

- Create views in DB2 Be careful with View
Materialization - View Merge vs. View Materialization
- View Materialization is performed when a view
is complex e.g. when sorts need to be performed
- Explain of the View
- Use Filters

34DB2 Locking
- IRLM (Internal Ressource Lock Manager)
- Row Locks possible - Page Locks were used because
of performance reasons - Lock Escalation
35DB2 Locking
DB2 Locking is behaviour is determined by the
Isolation Level of the Gateway Plan CS
Cursor Stability RR Repeatable Read RS Read
StabilityUR Uncommitted Read
36DB2 Locking
Nothing Qualifying Row
All Rows Row
accessed Read
37DB2 Locking - Problems
- Problem at the customer site
- The Gateway holds Locks ! Our Batches Abend with
SQLCODE 911
- Is this really a gateway problem ?
38DB2 Locking
Duration of Page and Row Locks If a page or
row is locked, DB2 acquires the lock only when it
is needed. When the lock is released depends on
many factors, but it is rarely held beyond the
next commit point.
..... Commit Work as Soon as Is Practical To
avoid unnecessary lock contentions, issue a
COMMIT statement as soon as possible after
reaching a point of consistency, even in
read-only applications. To prevent unsuccessful
SQL statements (such as PREPARE) from holding
locks, issue a ROLLBACK statement after a
failure.
Quelle DB2 Version 7 Administration Guide
39DB2 - SQL Tuning Hints
- Use Functions on columns in where condition
which are also available in DB2 - Predicates in DB2
- Indexable
- Index can be used
- Stage 1
- Predicates, which are not of Type Stage 1 are
evaluated by the RDS(Relational Data System)
which is more expensive

44Lessons we have learned
45Lessons we have learned
- DB2 Locking
- Commits also after Read operations
- If Consistency doesnt matter
- Bind TG4DB2 Plan with Isolation Level UR (TG4DRDA
(DRDA_ISOLATION_LEVELNC) - Hanging Sessions
- Alter Session Close Database Link xxx
- Should be executed when a logical application
unit is finished.
46Lessons we have learned
- Try to make bulk transfers small
- use as much filters as possible on remote DB
- The split of distributed joins (Oracle / DB2)
sometimes is more efficient
47Lessons we have learned
- Oracle functions in SQL can produce a lot of
overhead - Sample
- Select a.,b. from testtn1_at_epg1 a,
testtn2_at_epg1 b where - a.c3 between to_char(sysdate-1,'YYYY-M
M-DD')'-00.00.00.000000' - and to_char(sysdate,'YYYY-MM-DD')'-00.00.0
0.000000' and - a.c2b.c2
- The use of Bind variables improves the
performance
48More...
- Gateway Passthrough
- Allows input of native DB2 Syntax without
Gateway Pre- and Postprocessing - Call of DB2 Stored Procedures
- Allows the use of static SQL
- DB2 Stored Procedure result sets are not
supported
49Passthrough
