Detailed Solution Description

How do you identify the SQL Statements that may be dragging down your DB2 performance?

• EZ-Alerts Is a component of EZ-DB2 which provides detailed analysis and reporting against a Workload captured by EZ-Tracer or EZ-Cache or imported into the EZ-DB2 SQL Warehouse.
• EZ-Alerts can be used as a tuning tool to identify problem high cost SQL in a live environment and also to ensure the integrity of SQL coming out of Development after making application changes.
• EZ-Alerts is Workload-centric, which means the displays take into account the relative cost of the statements within the Workload. For example, a display of SQL performing table space scans will show the SQL sorted in descending cost sequence - allowing you to zoom-in and fix the statements that will make the most significant difference.
• You may specify thresholds for table scan, CPU, Get Page and Timeron alerts.
• When used in conjunction with EZ-Impact Analyzer, you can easily see the alerts that may have been added or dropped as a consequence of an environmental change or application modification.

• EZ-Alerts reports on both static and dynamic SQL
