Abstract from Mary’s presentation:

In this presentation, I will share insights into DB2 performance measurements using data from SMF 72, 30, 100, and 101 records. DB2 is one of the key areas to monitor in mainframe environments, especially when focusing on CPU usage and the performance of each DB2 subsystem.

We will explore how DB2 plans and packages help provide visibility into the interactions between DB2 and various types of workloads, such as BATCH jobs, CICS transactions, and IMS transactions. Understanding these interactions is critical for identifying performance bottlenecks and optimizing resource usage.

Particularly the DB2 Distributed workloads, which are often among the highest consumers of CPU resources across many customer environments—a trend I’ve observed repeatedly. This session will outline practical performance metrics and guide how to analyze and act on them.
