DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC70374 Status: Closed

WLM on 9.7 Fix Pack 2 fails to change the agent priority. Linux only

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
Workload Manager (WLM) on 9.7 fix Pack 2 does not work properly. 
It fails to change the priority of db2 agent threads.  Note 
that this problem exists on Linux platform only.  All other 
platforms work correctly.  Also, note that this problem exists 
in fix Pack 2 only.  All other fix packs of 9.7 do not have this 
problem.  All other releases don't have it, either. 
 
Changing the priority of an agent gets changed at DB2 level. We 
can confirm it with "db2pd -agents" output.  However, it is not 
reflcted at Operating System Level. "ps-lLfp <PID of db2sysc>" 
does not show the change.  After applying the APAR fix, both 
"db2pd -agents" and "ps -lLfp" show the change and WLM will 
behave properly. 
 
Everyone using WLM on Linux platform must apply the fix
