Definition

Beginning with DB2 V7.1, SAP utilizes a stored procedure named DSNACCOR which recommends running a utility based upon data in the real-time statistic tables. The recommendation for a REORG on a table- or indexspace is based on a complex calculation, which is detailed in DB2 UDB for OS/390 and z/OS V7 Utility Guide and Reference.

This value is not used by DSNACCOR itself, but SAP suppresses Alerts that are generated on small tables, to reduce the number of REORG recommendations. As long as the recommendation was not given based on number of unclustered inserts, overflow records or extents or due to advisory REORG status, then the number of active pages in the table space/index or partition is compared to this threshold. If it is less than this value, a recommendation of DSNACCOR to run REORG on the tablespace/index is suppressed by SAP.

The default is 0, to simulate the behaviour in the past. A good value would be 20-30, but will depend very much on your environment and your need for reducing the number of REORG alerts. The value shouldn't be too high, or fragmentation within small TS resp. possible space savings will remain undetected.
