CPI4331 - &6 tasks used for parallel index created over file

CPI4331
Message Text: &6 tasks used for parallel index created over file &1.
Cause Text: &6 is the average numbers of tasks used for an index created over member &3 of file &1 in library &2.

If file &1 in library &2 is a logical file, then member &9 of physical file &7 in library &8 is the actual file over which the index is being built.

A file name starting with *QUERY or *N for the file indicates a temporary result file is being used.

The query optimizer has calculated that the optimal number of tasks is &5 which was limited for reason code &4. The definition of reason codes are:
  1. The *NBRTASKS parameter value was specified for the DEGREE parameter of the CHGQRYA CL command.
  2. The optimizer calculated the number of tasks which would use all of the central processing units (CPU).
  3. The optimizer calculated the number of tasks which can efficiently run in this job's share of the memory pool.
  4. The optimizer calculated the number of tasks which can efficiently run using the entire memory pool.
The database manager may further limit the number of tasks used for the parallel index build if either the allocation of the file's data is not evenly distributed across disk units or the system has too few disk units.
Recovery Text: To disallow usage of parallel index build, specify *NONE on the query attribute degree.

A larger number of tasks might further improve performance. The following actions based on the reason code might allow the optimizer to calculate a larger number:
  1. Specify a larger number of tasks value for the DEGREE parameter of the CHGQRYA CL command. Start with a value for number of tasks which is a slightly larger than &5 to see if a performance improvement is achieved.
  2. Simplify the query by reducing the number of fields being mapped to the result buffer or by removing expressions. Also, try specifying a number of tasks for the DEGREE parameter of the CHGQRYA CL command as described by reason code 1.
  3. Specify *MAX for the query attribute degree.
  4. Increase the size of the memory pool.
