Analysis - iStrobe
• Browser-based product for
• Navigating performance reports
• Analyzing and improving performance
• Supplies tips for improving performance
• Module HELP database supplies descriptions and
performance hints for system services
• SQL Analysis Feature makes recommendations for
improving SQL performance
iStrobe Automates the Strobe Profile Report
Interpretation Process
• iStrobe improves Strobe ease of use by providing a GUI
home page look and feel for interpreting profile reporting
• Look for the biggest number or the longest line
• “Click until you click no more” (+ expands on current page)
• Jump to next report via (
Report Icon)
• 5 clicks or less to the root cause

Analysis Summary
•ACSIS.OPEN: 259K Rows / 5.5K Pages
•There are 259,000 rows on this table but the cursor is opened nearly 5
million times. Resulting in a large number of duplicates.
•Recommend checking programmatically to see if the program will be
accessing the same row(s) and not make the open again.
•Table ACSIS.OPEN. PCTROWCOMP is 0.0
• Consider turning DB2 Compression on if the NPAGES is greater than
500 and the DB2 compression utility DSN1COMP indicates the
compression ratio would be greater than 30%
