<h1 class="topictitle1">Create Node Group (CRTNODGRP) command</h1>
|
|||
|
|
<div><p>This section uses two CL command examples to show how to create
|
|||
|
|
a node group by using the Create Node Group (CRTNODGRP) command.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="p">In the following example, a node group with default partitioning (equal
|
|||
|
|
partitioning across the systems) is created: <pre>CRTNODGRP NODGRP(LIB1/GROUP1) RDB(SYSTEMA SYSTEMB SYSTEMC SYSTEMD)
|
|||
|
|
TEXT('Node group for test files')</pre>
|
|||
|
|
</div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>In this example, the command creates a node group that contains four nodes.
|
|||
|
|
Note that each of the nodes must be defined RDB entries (previously added
|
|||
|
|
to the relational database directory using the ADDRDBDIRE command) and that
|
|||
|
|
one node must be defined as local (*LOCAL).</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The partitioning attributes default to assigning one-fourth of the partitions
|
|||
|
|
to each node number. This node group can be used on the NODGRP parameter of
|
|||
|
|
the Create Physical File (CRTPF) command to create a distributed file. For
|
|||
|
|
more information about distributed files, see Creating distributed files with DB2<sup>®</sup> Multisystem.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="p">In the following example, a node group with specified partitioning is created
|
|||
|
|
by using the partitioning file (PTNFILE) parameter: <pre>CRTNODGRP NODGRP(LIB1/GROUP2) RDB(SYSTEMA SYSTEMB SYSTEMC)
|
|||
|
|
PTNFILE(LIB1/PTN1)
|
|||
|
|
TEXT('Partition most of the data to SYSTEMA')</pre>
|
|||
|
|
</div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>In this example, the command creates a node group that contains three nodes
|
|||
|
|
(SYSTEMA, SYSTEMB, and SYSTEMC). The partitioning attributes are taken from
|
|||
|
|
the file called PTN1. This file can be set up to force a higher percentage
|
|||
|
|
of the records to be located on a particular system.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The file PTN1 in this example is a partitioning file. This file is not
|
|||
|
|
a distributed file, but a regular local physical file that can be used to
|
|||
|
|
set up a custom partitioning scheme. The partitioning file must have one 2-byte
|
|||
|
|
binary field. The partitioning file must contain 1024 records in which each
|
|||
|
|
record contains a valid node number.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="fignone" id="crtngc__ftn1"><a name="crtngc__ftn1"><!-- --></a><span class="figcap">Figure 1. Example of the contents of partitioning file PTNFILE</span><br /><img src="rbal3508.gif" alt="In this graphic of a partitioning file with a 2–byte binary field, Row 1 corresponds to partition number 0, and Row 1024 corresponds to partition number 1023." /><br /></div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>If the node group contains three nodes, all of the records in the partitioning
|
|||
|
|
file must have numbers 1, 2, or 3. The node numbers are assigned in the order
|
|||
|
|
that the RDB names were specified on the Create Node Group (CRTNODGRP) command.
|
|||
|
|
A higher percentage of data can be forced to a particular node by having more
|
|||
|
|
records containing that node number in the partitioning file. This is a method
|
|||
|
|
for customizing the partitioning with respect to the amount of data that physically
|
|||
|
|
resides on each system. To customize the partitioning with respect to specific
|
|||
|
|
values residing on specific nodes, use the Change Node Group Attributes (CHGNODGRPA)
|
|||
|
|
command. See Changing node groups using the CHGNODGRPA command with DB2 Multisystem
|
|||
|
|
for more information.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>You should note that, because the node group information is stored in the
|
|||
|
|
distributed file, the file is not immediately sensitive to changes in the
|
|||
|
|
node group or to changes in the RDB directory entries that are included in
|
|||
|
|
the node group. You can make modifications to node groups and RDB directory
|
|||
|
|
entries, but until you use the CHGPF command and specify the changed node
|
|||
|
|
group, your files do not change their behavior.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Another concept is that of a <em>visibility node</em>. A
|
|||
|
|
visibility node within a node group contains the file object (part of the
|
|||
|
|
mechanism that allows the file to be distributed across several nodes), but
|
|||
|
|
no data. A visibility node retains a current level of the file object at all
|
|||
|
|
times; the visibility node has no data stored on it. In contrast, a node (sometimes
|
|||
|
|
called a <em>data node</em>) contains data. As an example of how you can use
|
|||
|
|
a visibility node in your node group, assume that the <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> server
|
|||
|
|
that your sales executives use is part of your node group. These executives
|
|||
|
|
probably do not want to run queries on a regular basis, but on occasion they
|
|||
|
|
might want to run a specific query. From their server, they can run their
|
|||
|
|
queries, access real-time data, and receive the results of their query. So
|
|||
|
|
even though none of the data is stored on their server, because their system
|
|||
|
|
is a visibility node, the executives can run the query whenever necessary.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>To specify a node as being a visibility node, you must use the PTNFILE
|
|||
|
|
parameter on the Create Node Group (CRTNODGRP) command. If the partitioning
|
|||
|
|
file contains no records for a particular node number, that node is a visibility
|
|||
|
|
node.</p>
