Batch input/output (IO)

NoteThis feature is available only on Linux pSeries.

Adaptive Server version 12.5.4 ESD #4 includes APIs that allow you to batch data page writes. This results in reduced context switching between user and kernel space, and an increase in performance when you run I/O-intensive workloads.

To enable batch IO, start Adaptive Server with the 1649 traceflag, which writes this message to the error log:

Enabling batch I/O using Linux Native Kernel asynchronous disk I/O strategy

To disable this feature, start Adaptive Server with traceflag 1654.
