What’s New for DSM V2.1 for DB2 for z/OS
• Query Tuning Enhancements
– As a DBA I have opened up a pmr with support and want to send in diagnostics –
use collector tool to send diagnostics to IBM support team
– DBA could not connect to the internet so give ability to download diagnostic files
locally
– A DBA or Application Developer wants to get a single query target tuning job
from a WorkloadStatements View
– As a DBA want to use the CAPTURE statement to check the statement’s catalog
package for information such as COLLID, NAME, VERSION, statement runtime
information to refine workload, View Runtime Access Plan Graph, View Bind
Time Access Plan Graph
– No charge Single Query Tuning now available

Indexing Advice to Improve Query Efficiency
• Improve query efficiency
• Indexing foreign keys in
queries that do not have
indexes defined
• Identifying index filtering and
screening

• Indexing to avoid sorts
• Simplify use
• Consolidate indexes and
provide a single
recommendation
• Enables what-if analysis
• Provides DDL to create
indexes

version of the collection has
degraded performance.
• Determine whether any packages
have errors.
• Identify which packages have SQL
statements that have degraded
performance
• Available Actions
• Apply filters and review
Comparison result
• Review comparison result
• Generate HTML comparison
report
• Generate new query workload for
tuning & perform analysis
• Enhancements
• Compare two different workloads
• Utilize runtime metrics
