DBAM MIB Tables

The DBAM MIB information provides statistical information for several DBAM subsystems. The MIB information is stored in the following.

  • DBAM transaction statistics

  • DBAM buffer cache statistics

  • DBAM buffer cache I/O statistics

  • DBAM translog device I/O statistics

  • DBAM checkpoint statistics

  • DBAM interval statistics

These tables are held in memory and reflect the lifetime of the information stored. The information can be displayed by using the dirxextop command.

This appendix lists all information stored in these tables.
