This is an important and critical performance metric. What does this performance metric mean? A. The OUTPUT BUFFER field of installation panel DSNTIPL was specified too large so memory was not utilized and wasted. B. The active logs were not stripped by DFSMS and the active log data sets have to be processed sequentially so many times. C. The active log data sets were not placed on different volumes to reduce contention so a large amount of I/O activity showed up in the OUTPUT BUFFER field. D.

As class 3time includes the time that DB2 spends sending/ receiving network messages, a high value is a possible indication that the network is experiencing a slowdown. C. Calculate the non-nested CLASS 1 Elapsed time (ET) minus non-nested CLASS 2 ET. If the value is high, this can only be caused by spending most time in the application, and therefore the application should be investigated. D. Check to see if the DB2 remote connection can become inactive at commit (Type 2 inactive). If not, this leads to a high non-nested CLASS 1 ET and is likely the cause of the performance problem. Inactive connections will use less CPU than threads that stay active all the time.
