What's the index node and index page in DB2

Could you please explain what the index node and index page in DB2, and what's the relationship between them?

Following paragraph is copied from tadm56.
Tables contain records of data. One or more records of a table are stored in a DB2 data page. Pages are the minimum I/O unit of DB2. A DB2 data page can contain one or more records. But a record must fit in a data page.
If a record of a table does not fit in a 4096 byte (4 KB) page, the table must be defined in a tablespace that is based on a larger page size. DB2 also provides page sizes of 8192 bytes (8 KB), 16384 bytes (16 KB), and 32768 bytes (32 KB).
For improved access to data, indexes are predefined by SAP developers. Indexes can also be defined later as further need arises. An index is defined using a few columns of a table, which are accessed frequently. Index data structures allow for efficient retrieval of small quantities of data. Indexes are based on nodes, their storage is maintained within DB2 index pages. Because the pointers pointing to other index nodes are also stored in the index pages, storage of indexes is not as compact as the storage of data records.
And above this paragraph, there is a figure that shows relationship. I don't know how to paste a picture here. In the figure, it shows that table records vs data page is n:1, and index nodes vs index page is 1:1.
How to understand index nodes vs index page is 1:1?

  • Gallery with Paypal buttons and drop-downs on the index page?

    I'm looking for a LR gallery where I can have thumbnails with Paypal buttons and drop-downs on the index page.
    I would prefer to keep my galleries interface streamlined and don't want to clutter it up with dropdowns and cart. I would like to have 1 page for ordering that has all my images as thumbnails with drop downs for price and size, rather than right-clicking on and image which opens in another page like the LRG Gallery with Paypal.
    I don't have a lot of experience messing with code, and none with .js. I did make a drop down in Paypal and have the code, but I think things would be pretty unwield it I designed a page as a table like I would in MS Word.
    I'm familiar with LRG Complete gallery, but don't see that it has the ability to not require a right click to order.

  • What Are the Index Values of the MTTR and MTBF of the MA5600?

    What Are the Index Values of the MTTR and MTBF of the MA5600?

    The networking environments are different and the device uses different boards. Therefore, the reference value of the MTBF of the MA5600 is 55 years and the reference value of the MTTR of the Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) is two hours. The preceding values
    are only for reference. For details, contact the related Huawei engineers.

  • The Index page will not show the title with Bookmarking and the Facebook "like" or "share"

    When you utilize the Facebook Like button on your Muse created web pages, it carries the title over (from the Page Properties) and works fine, except for the Index. This also applies to bookmarking pages. When the Facebook like is used (and the sub window for Facebook opens) it is titled “Home” that’s it. When the index page is bookmarked it also says “Home”. Why won’t the whole title be used? Is there any way to correct this?

  • Curious behavior of the index page

    I use iWeb to maintain a site composed of an index page and many other pages. Whenever I make a change to any of the other pages and republish, I have to go back and republish the index page by itself, otherwise it will not load on any browser. This no big deal, as long as this continues to work, but I worry that something worst may happen, like never reload.!
    Has someone run into this small issue and perhaps has a suggestion to resolve it? Thanks.

    I also did this for my webhosting provider, not knowing I could keep it to Welcome. I should've thought of coming here, but I was assuming my errors were because it was Index, not index, so I went in with a text editor and changed all instances of Index with find and replace (names of the programs were changed to reflect it as well). Then I came here, so I edited the Index to Welcome in the iWeb interface, then saved it to the same folder after changing the old folder names to Welcome for an overwrite. It put the new stuff in a new folder of the same name in the website folder. Im using classicFTP. I hadn't checked to see that the folder had been placed inside the old folder, and saw it after I started uploading, when it was too late. So, I uploaded again, this time the inner folder only. My website hasn't changed. Sorry, I know just enough about script to be dangerous to my programs. Can anyone give me a gentle nudge or something in the right direction? I also tried using the question mark but it just gave me a page not found error.

  • What is the BIS pack and what does it allow?

    Hi BBers,
    just me again!
    I read over this forum the last few days, and got my email/facebook/msn question fixed via going back to the telstra shop and getting a BIS pack for $10/m along with my 1GB data included in my cap plan.
    So all emails working well ...
    My next question is ... what is the BIS pack, and what does it allow me to do/use?  it was 530pm when the sales lady got to me, so she whipped it up on the computer, and sent me packing saying it will all be good in 20 mins .... no real detail except "unlimited email" ... but im sure the other sales person when I bought my phone said "apps, msn, facebook and stuff" were covered by the BIS plan.
    So please help me!!!
    I have WiFi at home, and can connect to it, but now I dont know when Im using it, or the data pack, or the BIS haha its driving me (and my husband) nuts!
    Ok, wait for replies, thanks for all views/posts.

    Hello,
    FYI -- "here", as in these forums (which are targeted at BB/RIM services rather than carrier services), would not be the best place to find out something specific for one carrier. With so many thousands of carriers with dozens of different plans each, it's pretty much impossible to keep track of the specifics. The generic information is this:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
    But, there certainly can be variations on that given the different packages carriers put together. I do suggest you do as JSanders recommended -- contact your carrier and find out what you've signed up for.
    Good luck!

  • What does the scriptcollector do and how does it related to jsf lifecycle?

    hi,
    i want to know what does the scriptcollector do and how does it related to jsf lifecycle? and also in the scriptcollector if i call this,
    preRender=#{myBean.onPageLoadBegin}
    postRender=#{myBean.onPageLoadEnd}
    how my page will react?

    The hx:scriptCollector is part of the IBM Faces Client Framework and has nothing to do with Sun JSF RI.
    Lot of the hx components require specific Javascript and those hx components should be placed inside a single hx:scriptCollector which on its turn checks the nested hx components and renders the desired Javascript for it at the end of the tag. Check the HTML source for that Javascript.

  • What are the output type and Tcodes?+

    What are the output type and Tcodes?

    hi,
    ex-how to config output type.
    You will assign output types using Transaction NACE.
    Do the follow steps to assign output type
    1)Select Application Type V2 which will have description Shipping.
    2)Click on Output types button.
    3)Go to change mode by pressing Ctrl+F4.
    4)Select one output type which already exists
    5)Do Copy As(F6)
    6)Give your output type against Output Type field.
    7)Under General data Tab, Give Program and Form routine and Save the data.
    i think it a work of functional guy but at senior level i think it is not a big deal for abaper.
    Check the following documentation
    In NACE t-codewe have the application for each one. based on the application output type can be defined, based on output type script and print progrma can be defined.
    If suppose data can be read from EDI then we should go for condition records.
    So whenever we execute the script first composer checks the output type and then execute the program. in program whenever opn form FM will be populate then script will open first. After that again program till another FM will populate if it then script will populate........like it is cycle proces. Composer does all these things and at last it will submit that output to spool.
    Go to the Transaction NACE.
    choose the related sub module.. like billing or shipping
    doubel click on Output Types
    Choose the Output Type for which whcih you wanted your script to trigger
    Then select the Output Type and double click on Processing Routine
    Then go to create new entries--> Select the Medium (1- print output), then enter your Script and Print Program detls --> Save and come out
    Now go to the Transaction (for which you have created the output type)... Issue output--> Select the output type --> Print....
    Device Types for SAP Output Devices (Detail Information)
    Definition
    The device type indicates the type of printer to be addressed. When you define an output device, choose the name of the device type that was defined in the SAP System for your printer model, such as Post2 for a PostScript printer. In the case of frontend printing under Microsoft Windows, you can also use the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN.
    The system uses the information in the device type to convert a document from the internal SAP character representation (spool request in OTF or in text format) to a device-specific, print-ready data stream (output request). Since a device type specifies attributes that apply to all devices of a certain model, it can be shared among device definitions. For example, all devices in the SAP spool system that are compatible with Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIID printers would use the HPLJIIID device type.
    You should not confuse the device type with the printer driver. The device type is the total of all attributes of an output device that the SAP System must know to control the output device correctly, such as control commands for font selection, page size, character set selection, and so on. These attributes also include the printer driver that SAPscript/Smart Forms (the SAP form processor) should use for this printer. The SAPscript printer driver that is to be used for devices of this type for output formatting is therefore only an attribute that the device type specifies.
    How do I choose the correct device type?
    • In most cases, the SAP System already provides the appropriate device type for the printer type for the printer model that you want to use.
    These standard device types are completely defined and need no modification or extension before you use them in device definitions.
    • You can also download missing device types from the sapserv server. For a current list of the supported device types, see SAP Note 8928 in the SAP Service Marketplace.
    • Most printers can be controlled using a generic format, such as PostScript. They can be switched to a mode that is compatible with one of the standard printers for which an SAP device type is available. In this case, a supported model is emulated.
    • Almost all printers are delivered with Microsoft Windows printer drivers. The system can control these printers with the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN. The Microsoft Windows spool system then performs the processing of the print data.
    • If the specified device types are not available, and generic device types cannot be used, you must create your own device type or edit a copy of an existing device type. We recommend that only those with specialist knowledge of the SAP Spool System and printer driver code do this. For more information, see Defining a New Device Type .
    Attributes of a Device Type
    A device type is distinguished by the attributes listed below. If you change an existing device type or create a new device type, you must change at least some of these attributes.
    • Character set: A character set specifies the codes with which characters must be represented in the print-ready output stream (output request). This code replaces the generic SAP characters set that is used internally by the SAP spool system (spool request).
    • Printer driver: You can specify different printer drivers for printing SAPscript documents and ABAP lists.
    • Print controls: Print controls represent printer operations, such as boldface or changing the font size. These print control are replaced by printer-specific commands during the creation of the output request from a spool request.
    • Formats: Formats specify the format supported by the SAP system. The system differentiates between SAPScript formats (DINA4 and LETTER) and ABAP list formats (X_65_132 = 65 rows/132 columns).
    • Page format: A page format is the interface between a format and SAPscript. It specifies the paper dimensions with which SAPScript can calculate the row and column lengths.
    • Actions: Actions are output device-specific commands that are required for the implementation of a format. The action printer initialization, for example, can contain a printer command with which the number of rows on a page is defined. There is a set of actions for every format supported by a device type.

  • I have the Jetpack 4GLTE, what is the Mbps download and upload speeds for this device?

    I have the Jetpack 4GLTE, what is the Mbps download and upload speeds for this device?

    The avgrage real speed will be more in the area of 25 to 38 Mbps  You would need to be in a strong signal area with high grade cell tower service and low customer use to even reach 50 Mbps. 
    From Verizon page.  Just be aware that using the MiFi 6620L can cost a lot of money. And you can thank the device's fast performance for that. In my testing around the San Francisco Bay Area, rathe device delivered blazing-fast download speeds that nged between around 10Mbps to around 40Mbps. At those speeds, you can burn through 4GB of data in just less than an hour. Once you reach the cap, of course, you'll have to pay somewhere between $10 to $15 for each additional gigabyte, depending on the plan you sign up for.

    The document here lists the monthly duty cycle at 125,000 to 200,000 pages per month and the devices typically have a one year warranty.  Based on this I would expect at least 1.4 - 2.4 million pages for printer life with appropriate maintenance.
