DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 
==================== 
When using Scalar Aggregation functions with Connection 
Concentrator enabled, memory allocated for the scalar 
aggregation execution may become invalid when the connection is 
serviced by different agents, causing DB2 to trap/abend.  An 
additional requirement is that "with hold cursors" are being 
used, but this is common. 
 
Connection Concentrator is enabled when the database manager 
configuration parameter MAX_CONNECTIONS exceeds MAX_COORDAGENTS. 
This criteria applies when these parameters are set to 
AUTOMATIC, in which case the criteria applies to the underlying 
values. 
For example, this configuration shows Connection Concentrator 
enabled: 
 Max number of coordinating agents     (MAX_COORDAGENTS) = 
AUTOMATIC(200) 
 Max number of client connections      (MAX_CONNECTIONS) = 
AUTOMATIC(1000)

****************************************************************

Disable Connection Concentrator: 
db2 update dbm cfg using MAX_CONNECTIONS -1 automatic 
db2stop;db2start 
 
This results in the following standard configuration: 
 Max number of coordinating agents     (MAX_COORDAGENTS) = 
AUTOMATIC(200) 
 Max number of client connections      (MAX_CONNECTIONS) = 
AUTOMATIC(MAX_COORDAGENTS)
