Description of the Pane
Data displayed for DB2 databases v9.7.0.1 and later
•
Request Time Breakdown:
•
Baseline — A comparison of the average request time with the expected (according to the baseline) request time, plotted over the course of the selected time range.
•
Breakdown — the average request time by event category, plotted over the course of the selected time range.
 
•
CPU Wait Time. The average CPU wait time (in milliseconds), plotted over the course of the selected time range.
Data displayed for DB2 databases earlier than v9.7.0.1
•
Average Active Sessions. A comparison of the average number of active sessions over the course of the selected time range with the average number of active sessions expected (according to the baseline).
 
•
CPU Usage. The percentage of CPU used by the partition, plotted over the course of the selected time range.
Where to go next

Mousing over a data point on either of the charts displays a pop-up that provides more detailed information about the data point.

Clicking the Investigate using the “Top SQL” drilldown link takes you to the Top SQL pane for additional information.

Storage Information

The Storage pane displays the storage information for the selected partition. It is at the upper right of the Partition (History) home page.

 
Description of the Pane
Data displayed
•
Storage Graph. The storage activity of the partition plotted over the course of the selected time range.

The storage can be plotted as either:

•
Incremental change growth — incremental changes in partition growth (in MB/s) plotted over the course of the selected time range
•
Database size — the size of the database (in GB) plotted over the course of the selected time range
 
•
Avg. Consumption (MB/hour). The average storage space consumed (in MB/hour) over the course of the selected time range.
 
•
Total Allocated (MB). The total storage space allocated (in MB).
Where to go next

Mousing over a data point on the plot displays a pop-up that provides more detailed information about the data point.

Clicking the Investigate using the “Table Space” drilldown link takes you to the Tablespaces pane for additional information.

OS Performance Information

The OS Performance pane displays the OS performance information for the selected partition. It is at the bottom left of the Partition (History) home page.

 
Description of the Pane
Data displayed
•
Avg. CPU (%). The average CPU consumed, as a percentage of the total allocated, over the course of the selected time range.
 
•
Avg. Memory (%). The average memory consumed, as a percentage of the total allocated, over the course of the selected time range.
 
•
Disk Utilization (%). The disk utilization, as a percentage of the total allocated, over the course of the selected time range.
Where to go next

Clicking any of the three charts displays a pop-up that provides additional, related information.

On the pop-up, clicking the Investigate using the “Host Monitor” drilldown link takes you to the Host Monitor dashboard for additional information.

Availability Information

The Availability pane displays the availability information for the selected partition. It is at the lower middle of the Partition (History) home page.

 
Description of the Pane
Data displayed
•
Sessions. The availability of the active and inactive sessions plotted over the course of the selected time range.
 
•
Member Availability. The average availability of the partition over the course of the selected time range.
For DB2 databases v9.7.0.1 and later
•
Average Request Time (ms). The average length of time (in ms) it took to process a single request, over the course of the selected time range.
For DB2 databases earlier than v9.7.0.1
•
Transaction Rate. The number of transactions being processed per second.
Where to go next

Mousing over a data point on the Sessions chart displays a pop-up that provides more detailed information about the data point.

Clicking anywhere on the Partition Availability chart displays a pop-up that provides additional, related information.

Clicking the icon next to the Avg. Request Time or Transaction Rate metric displays a pop-up that provides additional, related information.

Cache Hit Ratio Information

The Cache Hit Ratio pane displays the cache hit ratio information for the selected partition. It is at the right of the Partition (History) home page.

 
Description of the Pane
Data displayed
•
Buffer Pool (%). The percentage of database page I/O requests that were satisfied using the buffer cache (and therefore the database did not have to perform disk reads), over the course of the selected time range.
 
•
Package (%). The number of times that a requested section was not available for use and had to be loaded into the package cache, as a percentage of the total number of times that a section was requested, over the course of the selected time range.
