GROWING PACKAGE CACHE WITH INCREASED NUMBER OF STATEMENT ENTRIES ON
STATEMENT CONCENTRATOR ENABLED DB.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
Package cache may be growing with increased number of statement 
entries and decreased numbers of variations if statement 
concentrator is enabled on a database. Performance degradation 
would be observed once package cache becomes full due to the 
increased number of statement entries.

- Statement concentrator is enebled on the databaes. i.e. 
STMT_CONC is set as LITERALS. 
- The number of statement entries in the package cache after 
running FLUSH PACKAGE CACHE keeps growing. 
  i.e. the following number keeps growing on the database. 
 db2 connect to <dbname> 
 db2 flush package cache dynamic 
 db2pd -db <dbname> -dyn | grep "^Number of Statements" 
- Small number of variations in comparison with number of 
statements remains in package cache. 
 
This problem is caused by a timing hole on deleting statement 
entries from package cache.
