DB2 : data compression active ?

Hi forum,
how can I find out whether data compression is active in our DB2 database with SAP BW ?
Kind regards

Hello Olaf,
to check whether you are entitled for compression license-wise, use the following:
db2licm -l
Check for the storage optimization feature.
To check, whether there are any tables that have the compression flag enabled
db2 "select count(*) from syscat.tables where compression = 'R' or compression = 'B'"
To get the names of these tables
db2 "select tabname, compression from syscat.tables where compression = 'R' or compression = 'B'"
"R" means row compression, "B" means both Row and Value compression.
To check the actual compression savings for tables, you can use this:
--> Be aware that it may run for a longer time
--> Replace the SAPHJZ by your own SAPSID
SELECT substr(TABNAME,1,25) as TABLE_NAME,
     DICT_BUILDER,
     COMPRESS_DICT_SIZE,
     EXPAND_DICT_SIZE,
     PAGES_SAVED_PERCENT,
     BYTES_SAVED_PERCENT
        FROM SYSIBMADM.ADMINTABCOMPRESSINFO
     WHERE tabschema='SAPHJZ'
     AND COMPRESS_DICT_SIZE > 0
     order by 1 asc
Hope this helps.

DB2 Row compression activated - Any changes during System Copy process?

Hell All,
I have activated DB2 Row Compression.
Now i want to do a System Copy.
Any changes due to this feature in the regular System Copy procedure? Like using R3load fastload COMPRESS options?
Thanks,
Bidwan

Hello Bidwan,
Please see the following blog regarding row compression:
/people/johannes.heinrich/blog/2006/09/05/new-features-in-db2-udb-v9--part-4
R3load has the new option '-loadprocedure fast COMPRESS'. Started with this option it loads part of the data, does a REORG to create the compression dictionary and then loads the rest of the data. This way the table does not grow up to it's full size before it is compressed. For more details see OSS note 886231.

SAP DB2 Deep Compression

Hi All
I need some help with IBM DB2 version 9.5 to implement deep compression on very large tables compressing all the data in the tables not just from the point of enabling the compression going forward, the problem is these tables are very bit one as large as 2TB, which will take to long to REORG.
I came across the IBM DB2 Deep Compression best practice guide which describes a method of creating a 10% sample table using the BERNOULLI function in a new table space, then activating the compression flag on this smaller table, running a REORG on the smaller table to generate the compression dictionary, and then to migrate all the data in the original table to the smaller table thus compressing the full content using the compression dictionary created off the 10% sample size and renaming the table names.
Code example in the guide looks like this:
CREATE TABLE T2 LIKE T1 IN TABLESPACE_B;
DECLARE LOAD_CUR1 CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM T1 TABLESAMPLE BERNOULLI(10);
LOAD FROM LOAD_CUR1 OF CURSOR INSERT INTO T2;
REORG TABLE T2 RESETDICTIONARY;
DECLARE LOAD_CUR2 CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM T1;
LOAD FROM LOAD_CUR2 OF CURSOR REPLACE INTO T2;
I would like to know if this is supported by SAP and if so how to handle the indexes and index table spaces linked to the data tables and data table spaces.
I used the SAP DB2 Compression Tool in SAP Note 980067 to identify the candidates for compression but the tables identified are the very big ones.
If you have any creative idea's I will be grateful for the help.
Thanks and regards,

Hello Amanda,
as far as I know, Deep Compression is supported by any SAP System that supports DB2 version 9.1 and higher. This should be supported from SAP kernel level 6.40 (SP18) upwards. But have a look at the SAP notes 900487, 1089568 or 1351160, depending on the DB2 version. Have also a look at [this page|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=%28J2EE3417800%29ID0062928350DB00623116135828352293End?blog=/pub/wlg/4330].
Compression can save lots of storage depending on your workload. It also improves I/O performance because not that much data must be moved over network. The only disadvantage known to me is that some extent of extra-CPU is needed to compress and recompress data.

Using Data Compression on Microsoft SQL 2008 R2

We have a very large database which keeps growing and growing. This has made our upgrade process extremely troublesome because the upgrade wizard seems to require close to 3 times the database size of free space to even start.
As such, we are considering activating DATA COMPRESSION on the PAGE level in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. This technology is native to the SQL Server and compresses the rows and the pages so that they do not take up more space than necessary.
Traditionally each row take up the space of the maximum of all the fields even though only part of a field is filled with data.
[Blog about Data Compression|http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlserverstorageengine/archive/2007/11/12/types-of-data-compression-in-sql-server-2008.aspx]
Our idea is to use this initially on the Axxx tables (historic data) to minimize the space they take by using for example:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[ADO1] REBUILD PARTITION = ALL
WITH (DATA_COMPRESSION = PAGE)
On a test database we have seen tables go from 6GB of space to around 1,5GB which is a significant saving.
MY QUESTION: Is this allowed to do from SAP point of view? The technology is completely transparent but it does involve a rebuild of the table as demonstrated above.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Mike

We are using Simple recovery model, so our log files are pretty small.
Our database itself is about 140GB now and it keeps growing.
We've also reduced the history size to about 10 versions.
Still, some of our tables are 6-10GB.
Some of the advantages of data compression is to also that it improves disk I/O at the cost of slightly higher CPU, which we are pretty sure our server can handle.

DB2 UDB Compression vs performance improvements benchmarks

Hi
Are there any bench mark results on the effect of DB2 UDB data compression. Though by theory, this is supposed to improve the performance, even after considering the trade off in the data compression, I am not seeing any real life results on this.
If there are any, particularly for the BI 7.0, please let me know.
Thanks

Hello,
>> http://www-306.ibm.com/software/success/cssdb.nsf/CS/STRD-6Z2KE3?OpenDocument&Site=corp&cty=en_us
at first i wanna say, that i have no experience and knowledge in DB2, but if i read some statements likes this - i do not wonder about some management discussions/decisions:
The move from our existing version of DB2 to DB2 9 was very simple, so we didnt need any external help. Because DB2 9 is backwards-compatible, there was no need to upgrade our SAP software
With the STMM, we can tune the buffer pool automatically, which saves considerable time for our database administrators reducing their workload by around 10 per cent.
Our database is now 43 per cent smaller than before, and some of the largest tables have been reduced by up to 70 per cent
With DB2 9, our two-person IT team can handle database administration on top of all their other work, even without much specialist knowledge
Please correct me, if i am wrong and DB2 can really handle this:
1) Is the upgrade to DB2 9 really a big step or anything really hard to handle? I don't think so...
2) Are memory settings really so time-consuming in DB2, that a SAP administrator is spending 4 hours per week on that (if he works 40 hours per week)? I don't think so..
3) I have read some documents about the compression feature and it really seems to be great, but maybe an reorg would also make a benefit from round about 10-20%? All these aspects are not mentioned anywhere.
4) DB administration without special know-how in DB2? I could not believe that.... if you want a fast and stable environment
I am also very interested in some performance facts / data with compression and performance issues in DB2, but i am searching for real-data and not only some "manager" statements.
What i am searching for is a benchmark with defined load simulations and analysis like this one from oracle:
http://regmedia.co.uk/2007/05/20/ibmpower6.pdf
Does anyone have some links to that kind of benchmarks?

DSO upload and no data in Active data table

Hi Experts,
I have a strange problem.I have loaded data to DSO from DS in BI7. It has the further uplaod to cube.I have activated the DSO and it went sucessfull and had Request ID generated. It has added and transfer records available like 150000 records as I have done full upload. strangly I cannot see any data in Active data table.
Pls advise how can I check the data I am doing some mistake.I have data mart status for this DSO. the deletion of the DSO and reloading could that create the data not visible in DSO even after activation
Pls advise.

Hi,
I believe this got something to do with the display setting.. After displaying the data, get into the settings menu and look for Layout option --> display --> see if there is any default setting applied.. change this setting to something else.. create a setting with all the columns dragged & dropped.. These are the options you can try..
If this did not resolve.. please try displaying the data from SE16 transaction and post us the results..
Thanks,

Why does DB2 Data Flow Task query does not accept a date coming from a string or datetime variable in SSIS?

I am trying to compare a DB2 date format to a date variable from SSIS. I have tried to set the variable as datetime and string. I have also casted the SQL date as date in the data flow task. I have tried a number of combinations of date formats, but no luck
yet. Does anyone have any insights on how to set a date (without the time) variable and be able to use it in the data flow task SQL? It has to be an easy way to accomplish that. I get the following error below:
An invalid datetime format was detected; that is, an invalid string representation or value was specified. SQLSTATE=22007".
Thanks!

Hi Marcel,
Based on my research, in DB2, we use the following function to convert a string value to a date value:
Date(To_Date(‘String’, ‘DD/MM/YYYY’))
So, you can set the variable type to String in the package, and try the following query:
ACCOUNT_DATE BETWEEN '11/30/2013' AND Date(To_Date(?, ‘DD/MM/YYYY’))

But confused about Why there could sudden spike of demand on UNDO data in Active Data Guard ? Could any one please shed some lights on finding the reason for this issue ?It's been interesting, The job runs only on ADG?
Even it is only reporting purposes, Which runs only select statements. Are you sure that issue is only because of this job?
Moreover am interested to know, How you able to monitor at the same time? Using EM?
What all are the jobs ran on primary at the same time?
Then, is it possible to run the job on primary and see whats the response?
I suggest you to run the same job again on standby and see the ET of the job and also gather the statspack to check whether you got same buffer busy waits or not.
What storage you are using for primary and standby? In terms of I/O and performance all are same?
You got chance to take statspack even on primary database?
What are the parameters differ in primary and standby?

File Adapter Data Compression

I'd like to extend file adapter behavior to add data compression features like unzip after read file and zip before write file. I read oracles's file adapter documentation but i didn't find any extension point

if its java mapping, just create a DT with any structure as you wish.
ex.
DT_Dummy
|__ Dummy_field
java mapping does not validate the xml against the DT you created

Accessing DB2 data through DBLINK in Java program recieves ORA-02063 error

Hello,
Is it posible to access a mainframe DB2 table through a Java JDBC connection utilizing a DBLink / Synonym. Using Toad or SQLDeveloper, I can select the DB2 data just fine. Also, PL/SQL programs can access the data without issues. When I try to select data from the DB2 Table in a Java program, I get ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence -- ORA-02063 preceding line from DB2D errors.
The code I am using to test is:
(Note: TBL_LOC_ADR is the Synonym that points to the Mainfram DB2 table)
public static void main(String[] args) {
          Connection con = null;
          Statement stmt = null;
          String query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_loc_adr";
          ResultSet rs;
          try {
               System.out.println("Getting connection");
               con = BatchDBConnection.getDBConnection();
               TestConnection tc = new TestConnection();
               System.out.println("Creating ps");

               e.printStackTrace();
The error occurs on the rs = stmt.executeQuery(query); line.
Thanks for any input into this error. It's been driving me nuts all day.

How can we find out when master data was activated

Hello Friends,
We are loading master data for one info object directly from R3 to Info Object without PSA.
1) The Request Green in RSMO only tells that data is loaded successfully but it does not give any information about Activation is that right ?
2) How can i find out histroy of when one particular Info Object( Master data ) is activated? any tables or tcodes ?
Thanks
Tony

hi,
1) The Request Green in RSMO only tells that data is loaded successfully but it does not give any information about Activation is that right ?
Ans- yes it give loading details only.
2) How can i find out histroy of when one particular Info Object( Master data ) is activated? any tables or tcodes ?
ans -in SM37 chk any attribute change run is completed , else in RSA1 Tools -> apply attribute change and hierarchy -> you can see the finished and scheduled job.
also u can chk the master data table for any M version records is available.
