What is the procedure to identify the blocking sql for Performance Analysis for Db2? -
Descrizione
The user has configured Performance Analysis for DB2 on one of her/his Db2 database on Windows server. The user can see the SQLs experiencing locking issue, by selecting "Resource" as locks in the History screen. In the "blocking locks" tab, the user could see the contenting Object/Application name/Client user/Client workstation, but it doesn't show the contending SQL. Is there a way to grab the contending Sqls that holds the lock via PA ? There are so many Sqls ran by the combination Application name/Client user/Client workstation, so it was difficult to identify the actual contenting one. -
