A Note on DB2 for z/OS "Conditional GETPAGE Failures"

Robert's Db2

Recently, a DB2 for z/OS professional asked me about something he'd occasionally seen in a DB2 monitor display: a non-zero value for CONDITIONAL GETPAGE FAILURES for a buffer pool. Now, his DB2 subsystem appeared to be running just fine, but we are rather conditioned (so to speak) to associate the word FAILURE with the meaning NOT GOOD, and he wanted to know if these FAILURES indicated something with which he should be concerned.

Application Programming Tip: Let DB2 do the Work for You

Robert's Db2

Back in the 1980s, when DB2 was relatively new, you had, of course, a lot of application developers who were learning how to program using SQL (IBM invented the relational database and Structured Query Language). Though SQL is pretty intuitive, mastery takes time and so it was understandable that some programmers early on did in their code things that would more effectively be done by DB2.
