  • 1.  DB2 z/os alter maxpartitions based on percentage full last partition

    Posted Jul 14, 2022 05:26 AM
    Is there somebody who has automated the process of altering the maxpartition size base of the utilisation of the last partition for a PBG?

    Maybe some kind of rexx based on systablespacstats information?

    Kind regards, Paul

    Yes, but it is commercial software called SAX from my company. I doubt a REXX can cut the mustard with the amount of data...

    Roy,

    I saw your SAX procudt. But we only want the alter for MAXPARTITIONS, and SAXxxxxx is doing much more.

    So we are looking for a free solution ;-)

    instead of setting maxpartitions = partitions, set it to partitions + 1.   Then a simple SQL comparing partitions to maxpartitions will let you know you're on the last one.

    now, when they're equal, you can increase maxpartions by 1.   Also, look into the table to ensure there's a purge process. It's rare, but sometimes that is forgotten.

    Hi Paul,

    You could use REXX or JCL to query the catalogue tables to get candidates for increased maxpartitions. I however think it's a better approach to look at total space used for the table and aim use less than a certain percentage of max allowed space, and when that threshold is passed, increase the maxpartitions. If you only look at the utilization of the last partition your table can easily be filled by a load before an increase is triggered.

    But like Ed was saying, always make sure there is a data maintenance/clean up routine in place ;)


    Regards
    Johan
