CHK REQ times suddenly getting very long
Hi Clive, At a guess as you mention the large storage footprint, something related to: IC98458 AN INCREASING NUMBER OF CHUNKS CAN INCREASE THE DURATION OF AN ONMODE -C BLOCK This was reported by me way back in 2013 and there is some sort of fix in 11.70.xC9. Given it was thirteen…

Art, It can be observed by monitoring the Informix partition profiles while 'update statistics' is running. By all means IBM development can confirm or deny but I think I have already done this. This was part of a big look at update statistics I did with Jeff in 2022/23 and it wa…
