Improving Db2 accounting report Merged

[Current Product & Version]

-Db2 12 for z/OS

-IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for DB2Performance Expert on z/OS v5.4

-z/OS v2.3

-WebSphere Application Server v9 for z/OS


[Environment]

Data sharing in three-way sysplex environment

[Problem]

Our customer is using WAS for z/OS and DB2 for z/OS on their mission critical system.

According to APAR PI33379, an accounting record is not being created for every SRRCMIT with read-only COMMIT even if RRSAF ACCOUNTING INTERVAL is set to COMMIT and it is a permanent restriction.

However, this restriction causes serious problems to analyze the detail performance of read-only transactions on their system and the customer think that it has a significant impact for their system operations.


[Workaround(Bypass)]

none


[Proposal/Idea]

Db2 should create accounting records at RRSAF's read-only commit as the same as CICS,IMS and DRDA threads when the RRSAF ACCOUNTING INTERVAL is set to COMMIT.


[Benefits/Value]

Customers have the benefit of being able to more easily identify the cause of transaction performance issues.
