DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC63390 Status: Closed

CONCENTRATOR CAUSES PERFORMANCE HIT FOR READ LOG AGENT DUE TO NEW LOG
RETRIEVAL NECESSARY WHEN AGENT SWITCHES OUT.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
When DB2 needs to re-use an agent for a different connection, it 
takes away the agent from an existing connection (in this case 
the readLog agent).  When we take away the agent and re-use it 
for another connection, we are destorying the information about 
which log file this agent was looking at (at this point we also 
delete the retrieved extent). When the readLog connection is 
active again, it is assigned a new agent, and since the previous 
agent informtion was destroyed, a new log retrieve needs to be 
done since we do not remember that we are using the same log 
file as before.
