DB2 Import / Export / Load Utility

Note: There 3 file types DB2 uses: DEL, IXF, WSF. IXF is used for creating tables. Export
export to brian_output.del of del select * from siebel.eim_prod_ship(columnName1,columnName2,etc) Import import from brian_input.del of del insert into siebel.eim_prod_ship(columnName1,columnName2,etc) import from C:\filename.ixf of ixf commitcount 1000 replace_create into schemaName.tableName LOAD FROM C:\students.del OF DEL MESSAGES C:\load.msg INSERT INTO college.students; LOAD FROM tools.IXF OF IXF MESSAGES load.msg REPLACE INTO shop.tools STATISTICS YES WITH DISTRIBUTION AND DETAILED INDEXES ALL COPY YES TO d:\backups; NOTE: If you get an error "generated always" use the option "modified by identityignored" example: import from eim_order_itemPG.ixf OF ixf modified by identityignored create into siebel.eim_order_item

Truncate Tables
1. 2. telnet <db server> login: <login> password: <password> 3. connect to <database> Note: This command must be run from the command line on the server. The file "/dev/null" is a default file on the server. This command must be lowercase. IMPORT FROM /DEV/NULL OF DEL REPLACE INTO TABLENAME import from /dev/null of del replace into siebel.eim_account

REORG Table
NOTE: When ever you truncate a table with the import from /dev/null command make sure you run the REORG cmd after the truncate REORG TABLE TABLENAME

RUNSTATS
NOTE: NEVER runstats aftr you truncate a table This cmd runstats on both the table and indexes. runstats on table siebel.eim_order_item and indexes all shrlevel change

MONITOR DB2

list application list applications show detail

DB Configuration
NOTE:

get db cfg for <db name> |pg PG stands for page, so it puts the results to a page

Describe Table Help

? <cmd> example: ? describe

describe table <table name> show detail

FETCH FIRST N ROWS ONLY DEBUGGING HELP

example: select name from s_prod_int fetch first 5 rows only

If you are trying to insert to a table and you get an error message on a specific columnno. Try the following command to tell you the exact column name which is has a problem with the insert. example:
SELECT * FROM SYSIBM.SYSCOLUMNS where tbname = 'EIM_ACCOUNT' and colno = '?'

SYSTEM STATISTICS
The system sstatistics are stored in the schema SYSSTAT.
select * from sysstat.tables

DECRIBE TABLE and INDEXES

This command can only be used through the command line.

DESCRIBE TABLE EIM_ORDER_ITEM SHOW DETAIL DESCRIBE INDEXES FOR TABLE EIM_ORDER_ITEM SHOW DETAIL

Database Configuration File

From the command line: db2 get db cfg for sbltest |more

Database Performance Monitoring

If you have a stored procedure or any application process that is running poorly, you need to take multiple snapshots of the db as the process runs. A good practice is 1 snapshot before the proces, 1 snapshot in the middle of the process, and 1 snapshot at the end of the process. 1. First thing you need to do is get the db mgr and db configuration parameters db2 get db cfg for SBLTEST > /tmp/DBcfg_SBLTEST.txt db2 get dbm cfg > /tmp/dbmcfg.txt 2. The 2nd thing you need to do is turn on the db monitor in order to get a snapshot for a component. db2 update monitor switches using bufferpool on lock on uow on table on statement on sort on 3. Get a print out to confirm the monitor sswitches are on db2 get monitor switches > /tmp/SBLTEST.before.txt Reset the db monitor so that you get a true reading db2 reset monitor for database SBLTEST

4.

5. Run the following cmd before, during, and after the process. Make sure you run them from the command line and not the db2 command line, so that you can print the information to a file. db2 get snapshot for bufferpools on SBLTEST > /tmp/SBLTEST.bufferpool1.txt db2 get snapshot for locks on SBLTEST > /tmp/SBLTEST.locks1.txt db2 get snapshot for tables on SBLTEST > /tmp/SBLTEST.tables1.txt db2 get snapshot for tablespaces on SBLTEST > /tmp/SBLTEST.tablespaces1.txt db2 get snapshot for applications on SBLTEST > /tmp/SBLTEST.application1.txt db2 get snapshot for all on SBLTEST > /tmp/SBLTEST.db1.txt db2 get snapshot for dbm > /tmp/SBLTEST.dbm1.txt 6. This steps just states that after your initial snapshot you need to kcik of the process you are trying to monitor ex: start process "SVP Build Tree" ex: call stored procedure()

Recommended Database Configuration for Siebel

Note: This is just a recommendation, depending on the individual database sizing and application customization there may need to be more tuning.
