An application upgrade requires significant changes to database tables and indexes in a DB2 database. What considerations should be made regarding the Reorg utility to maintain database performance during and after the upgrade process?

  • Execute Reorg on the entire database to ensure uniform distribution of data across storage containers
  • Increase the Reorg utility's degree of parallelism to expedite the reorganization process
  • Pause Reorg operations during peak application usage hours to minimize impact on ongoing transactions
  • Perform Reorg after applying table and index changes to optimize storage allocation and improve data access efficiency
Performing Reorg after applying table and index changes is essential to optimize storage allocation and improve data access efficiency by eliminating fragmentation. This ensures that the database performs optimally after the upgrade. Executing Reorg on the entire database may be unnecessary and resource-intensive, as only the affected tables and indexes require reorganization. Pausing Reorg during peak usage hours may disrupt ongoing transactions and prolong the maintenance window, affecting application availability. Increasing the Reorg utility's degree of parallelism may expedite the process but should be carefully balanced with system resource utilization to avoid resource contention and performance degradation.
