DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC70125 Status: Closed

CONNECTION LEVEL LOAD BALANCING OCCURS EVEN WHEN ENABLEWLB IS NOT SET

product:
DB2 CONNECT / DB2CONNCT / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
LUW client automatically enables Connection level load balancing 
by default if connection is made directly to DB2 for zOS even 
when transaction level load balancing (enableWLB) is not 
enabled. 
 
The initial ( very first) connection uses the the connectivity 
information to route the connection to DB2 for zOS sever. The 
subsequent new connections are distributed and routed based on 
the sysplex information returned as server list by the 
server.The connections are distributed by client instead of 
sysplex distributor DVIPA. This also prevents single member 
access on DB2 for zOS.

Local Fix:
Connection-level WLB can be explicitly disabled by setting 
either of the following : 
1. By setting "ConnectionLevelLoadBalancing=false" in 
db2dsdriver.cfg. 
2. Catalog a DCS directory without specifying SYSPLEX as a DCS 
parameter. 
3. Set DISABLESYSPLEX=TRUE in db2cli.ini file 
4. Set connection attribute SQL_ATTR_DISABLE_SYSPLEX=1
