DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2

Problem Description: 
============= 
STMM may tune shared sort memory too high when throttling has 
occured as part of trying to satisfy STMM's "Minimum Size" 
calculation. 
The best way to be sure of this symptom is when the "Minimum 
Size" for Shared Sort Heap in the STMM log is more than 1.25 
times the current or peak shared sort memory usage (seen in a 
database snapshot). 
 
For example, below the Minimum Size is 5288250, but the database 
snapshot shows a high water mark of only 3882760.  The Minimum 
Size is more than 1.25 x the high water mark, which is too high, 
and likely caused by this APAR.
