This patch contains the feature that enhances the granularity of parallel execution during the Analyze phase of
part_maint process. This way, it improves the performances of Analyze phase of part_maint process.
In order to handle the data manipulation for this feature, a new cli called part_tablespaces.sh has been introduced. Following the cli usage:
part_tablespaces.sh -O | |
part_tablespaces.sh -S | [ -T |
part_tablespaces.sh -h | |
Where: |
|
-O | : output |
-S | : set |
-T <tablespace> | : for the specified tablespace |
-t <table> | : for the specified table |
-m <degree> | : move parallelism degree during part_maint activity |
-s <degree> | : analyze parallelism degree during part_maint activity |
: <degree> = 0: reset value (use the upper hierarchy level) | |
: <degree> = 1: disable parallelism for specified tablespace/table | |
: <degree> = >1 && <99: apply specified parallelism | |
-h | : help, show usage |
For appropriate parameter settings, please, contact IBM Customer support.
