Customizing DB2 databases

If you create broker databases in DB2, you must ensure that the Database Heap Size is set to 900 (4 KB pages).

To change the Heap Size on Windows

  1. Start the DB2 Control Center.
  2. For each database you have created:
    1. Right-click the database name in the object tree and select Configure Parameters.
    2. In the window that opens, select Performance > DBHEAP. You can reset this within the range 32 to 60000, but are recommended to choose a value of at least 900.
    3. Click OK.

To change the Heap Size on UNIX platforms

  1. Open a command window.
  2. Enter the db2 command with the parameters shown, specifying the number of pages required:
