the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the
storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be

Declustering and Depooling for SAP Business Suite
Optimizations (2)
• Some Business Suite optimizations can only be used if pool and cluster tables
are converted to transparent tables
• Conversion to transparent tables is described in SAP Note 1892354
Installation support for SAP NW 7.40 SP5 and higher
Migration/System Copy support for SAP NW 7.40 SP3 and higher
• Recommendation: Use DB2 10.5 or higher with adaptive compression and
index compression.
Benefit: Allows aggregation on the database layer with DB2 parallel processing.
Examples in SAP Note 1835008.

• Beneficial for SQL statements containing aggregates
• Available with 7.40 SP8:

Use of DB2 Symetric Multiprocessing (SMP)
for SAP Applications (2)
Options to enable DB2 parallel processing in SAP applications
described in SAP Note 2047006
1) Enabling DB2 SMP for the entire system
- DB2 configuration
INTRA_PARALLEL=YES
MAX_QUERYDEGREE = ANY (or a fixed value)
DFT_DEGREE = ANY
DB2 optimizer decides about DB2 SMP processing of
an SQL statement
2) Selective use of DB2 SMP Parallelism
- DB2 configuration
INTRA_PARALLEL=YES
MAX_QUERYDEGREE = ANY (or a fixed value)
DFT_DEGREE = 1
Per default, all SQL statements are processed without parallel processing
- Options to run specific SQL statements with DB2 SMP Parallelism
a) Add ABAP Open SQL hints to ABAP statements
%_HINTS DB6 '<DEGREE VALUE=''ANY'' />’
b) Use SAP optimization profiles described in SAP Note 1818503
- No SAP application changes are needed.
- SAP DB2 database layer adds automatically the DB2 guideline
“DEGREE VALUE = ANY” to the qualifying SQL statements

DB2 Optimizations for SAP Profitability Analysis
(CO-PA) (1)
• SAP COPA is an SAP ERP module for reporting sales and profit data using
different customized characteristics (such as customer, country, product) and key
figures (such as cost, price)
• SAP COPA generates complex SQL queries with large number of aggregated
rows (several 100 Million records)
• Typical SAP CO-PA table candidates for DB2 SMP parallel processing:
- Tables beginning with CE1, CE2, CE3, CE4, CEJ
- CO-PA aggregate tables beginning with K81
• Performance improvement with enabling of DB2 SMP parallelism for CO-PA
described in SAP Note 2052896

DBA Cockpit: Full SAP GUI Function and Feature
Support
• Background
Over the last years, all new function was developed for WebDynpro only
SAP GUI Cockpit was deprecated and not developed further
SAP GUI version lacked performance history, time spent analysis
• However, people still loved the deprecated SAP GUI version
Perceived performance of WebDynpro was behind SAP GUI
WebDynpro UI is not enabled by default (extra activation step needed)
Many DBAs got used to the SAP GUI version, liked it and wanted to keep it
• Consequence
In 2013/2014 SAP re-established full function and feature support for SAP
GUI version
• SAP GUI DBA Cockpit Demo

SAP on IBM DB2 10.5 – What is new?
Reorg-Free Database for SAP
Sparse objects that allow space reclaim
- Insert Time Clustered (ITC) tables
- Recommended for tables with active archiving policies
- Allow reclaim of completely empty extents in DB2 10.1
- Reclaim of partially filled extents in DB2 10.5
- MDC tables: Reclaim of empty extents
- BLU tables: Reclaim of empty extents
- All indexes: Reclaim of partially filled extents
Space reclamation
- REORG … RECLAIM EXTENTS ALLOW WRITE ACCESS
- Executed automatically by DB2 in the background under ATM control
Smart prefetching
- Removes the need for REORGs to achieve good performance for large scans
Changes to REORGCHK
- No longer to report “*” REORG recommendations under DB2_WORKLOAD=SAP
Avoids unnecessary Reorgs

DB2 10.5 Cancun Non-BLU Highlights for SAP
• DB2 pureScale
TCP/IP (sockets) interconnect for faster cluster setup and
lower cost deployments using commodity network hardware
• Provides exactly the same level of high availability
as RDMA-based pureScale environments
pureScale can be run in a set of virtual machines
• VMware ESXi and KVM as hypervisor
CF
CF
• POWER 8 Exploitation
General advantages with more cores and threads, larger caches, higher
bandwidth between core and caches/memory
DB2 delivered exploitation of a newest Power CPU architecture shortly after
Power8-based systems became available
Faster DECIMAL SUM on row-organized tables
Faster Page checksum calculation
Faster BLU column scan including simple predicate evaluation
