DB2 for z/OS Buffer Pool tuning tool - Recomendations/Experiences

I would like to receive experiences/ideas/recomendations/etc. from the
community about commercial tools available to tune bufferpools in DB2
for z/OS
I am aware of:
- BPA4DB2 by ESAI
- Buffer Pool Analyzer for z/OS by IBM
- Buffer Pool Tool by Responsive systems
- Pool advisor for DB2 by BMC
Any experience on these tools? Pros/cons? Any other you know/use?
Thanks in advance
Jorge

As part of applying for a programming position at a company, I recently I had submitted some code samples to one of the developers for review. This is the feedback I received: One of his concerns was frequent calls to new and delete, which can cause memory fragmentation over time. An example is the allocation and destruction

Hi there, BP hit ratio = 1 - (BP physical reads / BP logical reads). If all the BP physical reads are asynchronous, it should mean that the pages are brought up to the bufferpool before the database manager needs them. But in that case, the BP hit ratio will be 0% (BP physical reads = BP async. physical reads = BP logical reads). Could this formula BP hit ratio = 1 - ((BP physical reads - BP async.

hi, we are using db2 udb v8.1 on windows, i try to use the configuration advisor to get recommendation on the parameter setting, at first, i give the target memory for DB2 is 80% of the physical memory, it gives me a recommendation on bufferpool size, so i accept the change, later on , i found that i gave too much memory to DB2, so i change the target lower, but the recommendation doesn't change the buffer pool size accordingly, why is...

I understand the concept of catalog cache (memory allocated from the dbheap to allow catalog lookups without the need to access disk each time). But the DB2 catalog tablespace (SYSCATSPACE) is assigned a buffer pool, which seems to perform the same function as catalog cache. Is this simply a case of double buffering? Can anyone clear this up?

In a DB2 V8.1 performance tuning document from a 3rd party vendor, I found this statement. Can anyone verify this? "DB2 requires 100 bytes of memory for every buffer pool and extended storage page that is allocated to a database for use as a descriptor in the database heap, so the size of the DBHEAP configuration parameter should be considered before creating large buffer pools. For example, a 1 gigabyte buffer pool with a page size of 4...

Hi, I find much regrettable that Database Engine Tuning Advisor be not part of MS-Express Edition ... A server without such help is not a server. Besides, you've got the tutorials, but not the tool to play with :-((( Regards, JM Blaise

Hi. I am kind of new to DB2 and to this newsgroup so please bear with me.. My question is: IBM installation creates 250 4k bufferpools by default. I want to increase this number to 1000, no problem, and I want to create another buffer pool and make it 1000 4k pages also. The documentation says that "once a buffer pool is created, table spaces can be assigned to it using create tablespace or the alter tablespace" commands.

Greetings, We are having a situation here whereby one of our staff created a very huge 32K buffer pool in a production database and caused the database to go down. When we try to reconnect to the database using "db2 connect to <dbname>", its giving the following error: SQL1224N A database agent could not be started to service a request, or was terminated as a result of a database system shutdown or a force command. SQLSTATE:55032

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
