  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The Tivoli Storage Manager server "generate backupset" process
    performs poorly when DB2 uses a different index as intended.
    This happens though the REORG status of the tables/indexes are
    fine and the RUNSTATS data are current.
    This leads to unnecessary index reads slowing down the "generate
    backupset" processing, e.g. a backupset generation which takes
    in common two days, take weeks to complete.
    
    Customer/L2 Diagnostics (If Applicable):
    The instrumentation trace may show a high value in the "DB2
    MFtch Exec" section for the ProcessNodesThread:
