I'm not sure, that I know all about LPL. That's my understanding:

LPL will only occur in a data sharing environment, where a pageset is 'Group Bufferpool dependet', that means 2 member are interested in that pageset and at least 1 member wants to update it. If pages are getting updated, they will be stored in the local or virtual bufferpool. On Commit or if some thresholds are hit, they have to written to the group bufferpool. But if the group bufferpool is full, because the castout process is too slow, these pages will go the LPL.

Are you using a fuzzy image copy? There might be duplicate entries in the image copy which unload cannot detect since there is no unique index.

I believe that you already know these things, but I will share them for completeness.

In DB2 for OS/390 and z/OS defining a Primary Key constraint requires also defining a Unique Index.

The explanation for this reason code states that RRS needs to be started. I think the example is using the Recoverable Resources System Attachment Facility (RRSAF) to connect to DB2.

I am looking for some clarification from some of you that have worked with Declared temp tables more than I have. I have built some prototype batch programs that declare, insert, built indexes and drop these structures, but have not figured out a way to restart batch jobs using them.

As far as I can see, all you're saying is that defining a primary key means you have to have a unique index.

There aren't all that many tables in most applications which don't have a unique index, in my experience. So, assuming that you would be defining a unique index anyway, I thought Max's question was whether or not coding a PRIMARY KEY clause was going to lead to a performance degradation over and above any overheads associated with the normal unqiue index.

Yes is what I meant and what we was discussing yesterday to decide a 'standard' ie if, when defining indexes UNIQUE on a table (and it happens almost for every application) we had to define a PRIMARY KEY as well, even if not really necessary.

Typically the tailored DSNHDECP with correct SSID resides in SDSNEXIT. If the CAF program does not get the SSID from there, it gets it from the 'default' DSNHDECP which SMP/E seems to place in SDSNLOAD for some reason. The 'default' one has SSID = 'DSN'.

I currently use OS/390 v6.1/v7.1 and SQL Server. From your description, size wise I don't think you will have much problems with SQL Server. I have two problems with SQL Server that I try to work around.

1) Understanding its security which I think is overly complicated sometimes. For example if I deny one object and grant one object I can sometimes inadvertantly override what I had previously denied depending on the relation of the two objects (view of a table).

Defining a Primary Key will result in an additional row in the Catalog for the constraint. This may cause your Catalog Image Copy job to run a few nanoseconds longer. Trivial? Yes, totally. Ignore this one.

Instead, consider: If you *ever* in the lifetime of this table wish to implement DBMS-enforced referential integrity you must issue the DDL statement ALTER TABLE.

So, if the problem is how to make hex readable then I think you want something like...

OPTION COPY INREC FIELDS=(n,m,HEX,...) END

as a DFSORT incantation.

Or did I misunderstand? Martin

I'm curious - what happens when you apply maintenance? Don't you run the risk of clobbering your customized DSN3@ATH, DSN3@SGN and DSNHDECP modules in SDSNLOAD with maintenance that hits those modules? Not that this happens very often, but still...

I am assuming you are trying to connect to the mainframe using the CLP/CCA/etc.

Add the following line in the DB2CLI.INI file under each DBALIAS. DISABLEUNICODE=1

This line has to be defined for each sub-system that has been configured. Restart the CCA after saving the DB2CLI.INI file and test the connection.

In my case, the error did not happen at the DB2 command prompt, only via a JDBC call.

We switched to EMC's Symmetrics 8530 with ficon three months ago and saw much faster I/O. I was told by my storage team that all disk requests (for this model and older one’s) must go through the controller cache, that DB2 cannot bypass the cache. If true, using seqcach=seq will have no impact. But if does work, did it have an impact on your I/O, where was it most noticable? We use DB2 V7 on z/OS.

Ditto bypass.

We experienced several "minor" problems with reorg -- mostly with the cleaning up (or failure to clean up) of obsolete (I or J) datasets. Certainly the improved BUILD2 phase (parallel index build) was worth the move. I say the problems were minor since I have run more than 7000 V7 reorgs. [...]
