Group Buffer Pool Status


The Group Buffer Pool Status report provides a high-level overview of the status of the group buffer pools associated with the selected Db2 subsystem.


(BMC.DB2.SPE2307) This report also provides an option to view the Coupling Facility Cache Structure details.

Data sharing can greatly enhance the performance, flexibility, and availability of any high volume data management and processing system. However, whenever data is shared, data integrity is extremely important and must be assured at all times. Db2 uses group buffer pools and special locking mechanisms to ensure data integrity when different Db2 subsystems share data.

The Group Buffer Pool Details report provides information about the operational status and Db2 group buffer pools configuration that members of a data sharing group share in a parallel sysplex environment.

Use the S action code to display the Group Buffer Pool Details report, which shows statistics associated with the group buffer pool.

The statistics relate to the entire group buffer pool. The values are identical, regardless of the Db2 subsystem selected from the Buffer Pools Status Monitor report. For more information, see Buffer Pools Status Monitor.

Statistics for each Db2 subsystem in the data sharing group are listed at the bottom of the report. Use the S action code to expand the report (as displayed in Expand for Efficiency Calculation Details) to view more detailed statistics for each Db2 subsystem.
