snapshot monitor performance issue.

Hi all.
I'm writing a performance analysis utility that uses the snapshot
monitor C API to get statistics in the connection level. It seems that
the way I use the snapshot monitor is very inefficient : each snapshot
takes a few dozens of milliseconds and overall it consumes a lot of
CPU.
Is there a way to configure and optimize the snapshot utility ?
Is there an alternative to the snapshot monitor API ?
When working with Oracle, I'm using Oracle DMA to access the shared
memory myself, is there a way (not necessarily documented or
supported) to access DB2 shared memory and extract these statistics ?
TIA,
Yaron

Take a look at db2pd and see whether is has what you need.
db2pd also reads memory directly.

Hi Serge,
thanks for you quick reply.
Is there a C/C++ API to db2pd ?
I couldn't find one.

Dear all, It seems there is a problem with some snapshot table functions, if you try to divide by some element that is unset or equal to 0. This generates a trap file with the db2fmp.exe process, that keeps going on, until your disk is full. I'm on W2K, DB2 UDB 8.1 FP4. Test case: db2start

Hi, 1) If I need to monitor a resource eg, bufferpools at the database level across all users, how can I do this ? If snapshot monitoring needs to be done wouldn't enabling the switch at the DBM level cause performance problems ? 2)How does one find the SQL statement that a particular user session is executing? TIA,

I need to collect dynamic SQL execution times for a production database. However, the totals are not being updated, despite setting the DFT_MON_TIMESTAMP on. The DFT_MON_TIMESTAMP is listed in the V8 documentation as configurable online. However, after setting the value on, the 'Total execution time' for dynamic SQL is still not collected. I tried resetting the monitors, etc., but the only thing that seemed to work is recycling DB2...

Hello, I would like to get the logical and physical reads for every sql statement executed. Thatfore, I used the command "db2 get snapshot for dynamic sql on <mydatabase>". There, I could see the logical and physical reads from bufferpool for every statement monitored. Am I right? But now, I would like to read these results out of a table so that I could process them automatically. In which table(s) are the results of snapshot for...

Hi, I have gone through the snapshot API. I need to use it for finding location of database files, tablespace containers etc on a remote machine. These parameters are present in the response. However, for getting only some paramters, I get a huge response, with many parameters that I do not need (mostly many are performance parameters). How long can the snapshot response be, and can it considerably affect performance?

Hello All: I have been brought onboard to help on a project that had some performance problems last year. I have taken some steps to address the issues in question, but a huge question mark remains. Last year, all of the tables and reports were stored in Access. The database was put online so that end users could access the reports online using Snapshot Viewer. The reports were aggregated on the fly, and the selection criteria...

Hi, I find the "snapshot for dynamic sql" a great tool for identifying the most frequently executed dynamic sql statements, most cpu used, etc. It is a great help for system tuning. My understanding is it does not display static sql statements. Is a statement event monitor the only way to capture the same information for static sql in packages? Lew

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
