REMOVE LIMIT ON BACK GROUND SYSTEM APPLICATIONS THAT WAS ADDED IN V9.5 FP7 | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
APAR IC67852 added a limit on back ground system applications (such as asynchronous index cleanup, admin task scheduler, health monitor) in v9.5 fp7. This limit was determined dynamically based on workload and sometimes it was too low resulting in too many SQL1226N errors being encountered. | |
Problem Summary: | |
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * See error description above. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Upgrade to DB2 v9.5 FP8 or higher * **************************************************************** | |
Local Fix: | |
The limit can be disabled by using db2set DB2_PMODEL_SETTINGS=MAX_BACKGROUND_SYSAPPS:500 This is a dynamic setting so the instance does not have to be recycled. | |
available fix packs: | |
DB2 Version 9.5 Fix Pack 8 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows | |
Solution | |
As of v9.5 fp8, the limit on background system applications introduced in v9.5 FP7 has been turned off by default thus restoring the behaviour in prior fixpacks. When this APAR is applied, a fixed limit on background system applications can be enabled using db2set DB2_PMODEL_SETTINGS=MAX_BACKGROUND_SYSAPPS:<num> where num is the limit. The limit should be based on the expected number of concurrent background maintenance tasks. A value of 150 is suggested as a good starting point. | |
