Checking current group activity

Use the following procedure to check the health of each member of your data sharing group and their activity levels. The previous dialogs covered multiple Db2 subsystems and their active threads. For data sharing, you focus on a data sharing group, instead of the default SSI context of ALL (which earlier procedures used).

Warning

Important

You must set the context when checking group activity. The context should be set already (set in the previous procedure). For future reference, you can set the context by typing CON context (for example, CON DBGHC to set the context to the DBGHC group).

To view activity for a data sharing group

  1. Select options from the EZDSSI menu to look at only this group:
    • Select SSI Status - List DB2s to view a list of the Db2s in the data sharing group. This version of the STDb2 view is a good place to see how each Db2 member is performing. You can also drill down into details about a member.
    • Select Current Threads (Elap) to view all threads in the data sharing group, sorted by elapsed time.
  2. Press F3 to return to EZDSSI .

  3. Select the Data Sharing Wizard option.

    This wizard collects the most used options for data sharing in one place. You can access group buffer pool activity and status, global lock contention, and page set analysis that summarizes activity from all members. You will return here later.

    Warning

    Important

    The rest of this exercise covers use of the wizards, but you also have direct access to some detailed data views here.

  4. To find information quickly about data sharing, use the topic index to look up relevant Db2 terms, such as 'Group Buffer Pools' and 'GBP-Dependent' in the TOPIC G view or 'Locks-Global' in the TOPICL view.

    Success

    Tip

    At any point when looking at another view, you can enter view name TOPICx to directly access topics starting with that letter; for example, type TOPIC L for lock information.
