Re: Index Advisor

I like to remove any advisory that hasn't been recommended in a long
time. When I build an index I like to remove it from the recommendations.
I don't want to clear everything. I've found that when a library is
deleted, the recommended indexes cannot be deleted unless the library is
recreated.

I used to clear the advisories every month or two. This is a manual
process though and after a while I got out of the habit. It would be nice
to be able to schedule an SQL to clear the table completely or
selectively.

RESET_TABLE_INDEX_STATISTICS looks like what I want. I'm going to have a
look at that.

That's correct. If you don't want to see the old advisories anymore,
delete them. The system will start building new ones.

Now there is value in having a good sample because the system will tell
you
things like how often an index is called for, and several other important
items (materialized query comes to mind) that will change over time and
provide good feedback. I like to see about 90 days or more in there
before
I start messing around too much. And then I need a practiced eye for the
application too, so that's where a good user expert can help.

Cool - I kind of thought I remembered seeing something.

So probably the OP doesn't have to do anything with the table he's

looking

at.

Vern, I think that's already there. On a periodic basis we simply

clear

the advised indexes. Then let the new ones populate.

If we embark on a project to build several indexes then we clear the
advised indexes again and look to see what's being advised after the

work

we did.

Hey Gord

How about entering and RFE for IBM to provide tooling to manage older
recommended indexes? Or is there already something like that?

well,
I have recommendations for indexes in libraries that no longer exist.
Working with the schemas is ACS is cumbersome since it doesn't allow
selecting or positioning when in the index advisor. Each time a
recommendation is deleted the display is refreshed thus losing the
positioning. I find the web navigator slow as well.

This file is flagged as all yes (as shown above). I've seen some

This doesn't address your concern about "admonitions".

Are there any restrictions, prohibitions, admonitions on updating
QSYS2.SYSIXADV in SQL or a program?
