DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC63177 Status: Closed

PACKAGE CACHE PERFORMANCE DEGRADES WHEN STATEMENT CONCENTRATOR TURNED ON

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When using the statement concentrator feature (most typically 
with the database config parm STMT_CONC=LITERALS), performance 
can degrade. 
 
Some symptoms may include "Package Cache Overflow" messages in 
the db2diag.log. 
db2pd -db <dbname> -dynamic will also show an increasing number 
of statement entries and a decreasing number of variation 
entries in the dynamic SQL cache. 
 
The performance degradation may be cyclic as periodically extra 
statement entries in the cache are removed.
