216 Performance Tuning for Content Manager
To update
Run the following DB2 command:
db2 update dbm cfg using KEEPFENCED <parameter value>
Our recommendation
Library Server relies heavily on stored procedures. We recommend that you use
the default value -1.
8.6.12 Initial number of fenced processes (NUM_INITFENCED)
Impact
DBM - Medium
Description
This parameter indicates the initial number of non-threaded, idle db2fmp
processes that are created in the db2fmp pool at db2start time. Setting this
parameter will reduce the initial startup time for running non-threadsafe C and
COBOL routines.
This parameter is ignored if KEEPFENCED is not specified.
It is much more important to set FENCED_POOL to an appropriate size for your
system than to start up a number of db2fmp processes at db2start time.
Default values (range)
0 (0 to max_connections + (maxagents - max_coordagents))
To update
Run the following DB2 command:
db2 update dbm cfg using NUM_INITFENCED <parameter value>
Our recommendation
We recommend that you set this parameter to equal the value of parameter
NUM_INITAGENTS.
