Hi,
We use buffer pool concept in in DB2 and in batch processing on mainframes too. Do they follow the same concept or DB2 treat the buffer pools differently?

Re: Buffer pool in DB2 and batch processing on mainframes.
Are you talking batch jobs in general or batch DB2 jobs in particular?

I am asking in general. I think I can apply the same concept to batch DB2 jobs also.Robert Sample wrote:Are you talking batch jobs in general or batch DB2 jobs in particular?

Re: Buffer pool in DB2 and batch processing on mainframes.
Buffering for batch jobs works differently. Each data set usually has its own set of buffers -- there's no pooling as with DB2. There are situations where there will be pools (such as when BLSR -- Batch Local Shared Resources -- is used) but otherwise it's one set of buffers per data set.
