DB2 Server for VSE: System Administration

Appendix A. Processor Storage Requirements

This appendix offers guidelines for estimating the processor resources needed for the database manager.

In general, a system operating in multiple-user mode, with CICS for both preplanned and unplanned (dynamic SQL, ISQL) query transactions, requires:

• Approximately 4 to 6 megabytes of storage for the database partition and its buffers.
• Approximately 6 to 10 megabytes of storage for CICS, the DB2 Server for VSE batch programs.

Following are suggestions on making detailed estimates of virtual storage requirements.
