Costs of overtime mode

Taking the following actions can reduce the extra costs of overtime mode:

• Use overtime mode only when you actually need to retrieve data from old objects or store structure definitions of old objects. Use the current mode for normal processing of other Log Master jobs.

• Limit the DB2 objects that you access in overtime mode (or store definitions for) to the most critical objects that you are most likely to access later.

This section contains the following topics:

• Increased size of DB2 log files
• Increased processing requirements
• Increased size of the Old Objects Table
