Presentation Overview
Trilogy of DB2's Originating Address Spaces)

DB2 SQL executes within three main DB2 address spaces, SSAS, DBAS and IRLM. To measure and see how it performs, we need to capture its activity from its “originating” address spaces. These vary depending on the source of SQL, making a trilogy. Let’s see what they are and how they work. With a good methodology, we can “tune” any of them.
