IBM Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3

Maintaining the database

You can use the Configuration Tool or the command line to perform DB2® index reorganization or DB2 row compression.

As the DB2 tables used in the directory database are updated with many insertions and deletions, searches and updates in the database become slower. Reorganizing the DB2 index makes these searches and updates more efficient, and therefore faster, again.

DB2 row compression improves performance by searching for repeating patterns and replacing them with shorter symbol strings. (The tool performs some analysis and then performs the row compression only if the compression would result in a benefit greater than 30%.)
