There is another way to tell IRLM exactly how many LTEs you want, and that is
through the LTE keyword on the IRLM startup procedure. In addition to the
STRUCTURE statement, on each of your two IRLM startup procedures, you can
specify LTE=16 (million lock table entries). That specification tells IRLM to
allocate that number of LTEs, rather than relying on the division process. Refer to
the DB2 for z/OS Version 8 Data Sharing: Planning and Administration,
SC18-7417, “Lock Structure Sizing” or DB2 UDB for z/OS Version 8 Installation
Guide, GC18-7418 for more information.
Specification of LTE= gives you more control. It is particularly beneficial if, over
time, your lock structure grows, but your RLEs do not. ...
