SQL PTFs for WebDocs iSeries Performance on V5R2

Problem:

WebDocs iSeries searches are slow. You turn on the DEBUGSQL setting:

CHGDTAARA DEBUGSQL = *YES

And when you run a search to display the SQL statements used and then run the SQL statement with interactive SQL, it is very fast.

Solution:

While this looks like a performance problem with the WebDocs iSeries SQL queries, it is actually a PTF-related issue. There are some SQL-related PTFs for V5R2 that cause problems with performance, because the SQL queries do not always select the correct index to use when run in batch mode in programs such as WebDocs iSeries.

Use the following command with the appropriate PTF number to see if you have applied any of the PTFs listed below:

DSPPTF LICPGM(5722999) SELECT(MF31309)

Note: As of 2/21/2005, most of these PTFs are probably superceded by newer ones, but if you are missing any of these PTFs, order them and hopefully the IBM automated PTF system will know they are superceded.
