Database performance tuning

Database performance tuning can dramatically affect the throughput of your application. For example, if your application requires high concurrency (multiple, simultaneous interactions with backend data), an improperly tuned database can result in a bottleneck. Database access threads accumulate in a backlog when the database is not configured to accept a sufficient number of incoming requests.

Because WAS supports the integration of many different database products, each one with unique tuning configurations, consult your database vendor documentation for comprehensive tuning information. This information center provides introductory material on DB2 tuning parameters for your convenience.
