Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All DB2 users who create tables with XML     *
    *                 columns.                                     *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: PM31487 adds new subsystem parameter    *
    *                      XML_RANDOMIZE_DOCID which specifies     *
    *                      that the DOCIDs for tables that         *
    *                      are created with XML columns can        *
    *                      be generated in random order            *
    *                      instead of sequentially.                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    PM31487 adds new subsystem parameter XML_RANDOMIZE_DOCID
    which indicates whether the DOCIDs for tables that are created
    with XML columns are to be generated in random order instead of
    sequentially.
    
    Tables with XML columns and DOCIDs generated in random order
    may have a performance benefit when concurrent users are
    inserting XML simultaneously.
    
    The new function takes effect when the DSNZPARM module is
    reassembled with XML_RANDOMIZE_DOCID=YES and put into effect.
    
    Tables created after XML_RANDOMIZE_DOCID is set to YES will
    get DOCIDs generated in random order.  Table created prior
    to applying this PTF, and tables created with
    XML_RANDOMIZE_DOCID set to NO will continue to have DOCIDs
    generated in sequential order.
    
    The default value of XML_RANDOMIZE_DOCID is NO, which
    provides the same behavior for generating DOCIDs that DB2
    has without applying this PTF.  In other words, applying
    this PTF will have no effect unless XML_RANDOMIZE_DOCID
    is set to YES.
    
    APAR PM31486 provides pre-conditioning support for PM31487.
    Users who create tables with XML columns in a data-sharing
    environment may be affected.
    
    Users who are affected are those who will be creating tables
    with XML columns in a data-sharing environment, and who also
    intends to use new function delivered in PM31487 that is
    enabled through a new system parameter (ZPARM):
    XML_RANDOMIZE_DOCID.
    
    Users who are affected by PM31486/PM31487 must apply
    pre-conditioning APAR PM31486 to all data-sharing
    members before this new function enabling APAR PM31487
    is applied to any data-sharing member.
