Setting database parameter values

The values that you assign to certain database configuration (DB CFG) parameters affect the behavior of IBM® Data Server Manager (DSM).

The table below lists the recommended values for these parameters:

Database Parameter Description Recommended value
MON_REQ_METRICS For basic data collection of statements, activities, workloads, etc. BASE
MON_ACT_METRICS For basic data collection of statements, activities, workloads, etc. BASE
MON_OBJ_METRICS For data collection of database objects, such as TABLE, TABLESPACE, etc. BASE
MON_RTN_DATA For data collection of stored procedure BASE
MON_LW_THRESH For data collection of blocking and waiting connections 30,000,000
(microseconds)
MON_DEADLOCK For data collection of blocking and waiting connections history
MON_LOCKTIMEOUT For data collection of blocking and waiting connections history
MON_LOCKWAIT For data collection of blocking and waiting connections without_history
Note: Enabling Locking Event Monitoring data option in Settings > Monitoring Profiles page, will update the MON_LW_THRESH, MON_DEADLOCK, MON_LOCKTIMEOUT, and MON_LOCKWAIT parameters of the target database to the recommended value.
