DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2

As an effect you can observe high utilization of HADR receive 
buffer. In output of command: 
 
db2pd -d <DB_NAME> -hadr 
 
receive buffer is close to 100%: StandByRcvBufUsed: 100% 
 
Cause of the issue, is that XML log records does not setup 
correct log record blocking level, and as a consequence database 
wide blocking level is used what causes congestion on HADR 
STANDBY. 
 
During congestion redo master is either processing a database 
blocking log record or waiting for redo workers to complete the 
work in queues in order to process a database wide blocking log 
record. Problem can be further identified by analysis of stacks 
on 
STANDBY side.  After issuing command: 
 
db2pd -stack all; 
 
you can see one of 2 situations in stacks created: 
 
1. redo master is waiting for redo workers to finish the work 
left in the queues so that it (redo master) can proceed to 
replay the database wide blocking log records.

2. redo master is processing a database wide blocking log record 
and so all redo workers queues are empty (hence no work for redo 
worker).
