Error description

  • OmPE uses "STEALABLE PAGES"(QISEKLRU) and "FREE PAGES"
    (QISEKFRE) values in SMF record in order to calculate
    "% PAGES IN USE". But, these values are not fixed values
    and fluctuate in a very short period. And, depending on OmPE
    data collection timing, it might be possible that the total
    of these two values is slightly bigger than "TOTAL
    PAGES" (QISEKPGE). In this case,"% PAGES IN USE" becomes
    negative. Instead of displaying reporting negative value,
    "% PAGES IN USE" field will show "0" value.
    
    Also, ABEND0C4 can occur in the ZEDMPH panel when
    there are fewer DBD free pages than reusable pages.  Module
    KO2ODB2F, CSECT O2OST2.

    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    Due to the "in flight" nature of the stealable and in use
    values, the percentage shown to be in use can be negative.
    Counts of DBD and SKEL pages in use should correlate with the
    calculated percentages.
    
    PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
    Ensure percentages are not less than zero.  Also, subtract
    the stealable (reusable) pages from the counts of the SKEL and
    DBD pages in use for DB2 V10.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Ensure percentages are not less than zero.  Also, subtract
    the stealable (reusable) pages from the counts of the SKEL and
    DBD pages in use for DB2 V10.
