| Problem description: | |
| "db2 get snapshot for database on DBNAME" may report a very high 
"Application Connects" value, 4294967295 in following example. 
 
Here is an example of the snapshot: 
---------------------------------- 
              Database Snapshot 
 
Database name                              = SAMPLE 
Database path                              = /home/.... 
Input database alias                       = SAMPLE 
Database status                            = Active 
Catalog database partition number          = 0 
Catalog network node name                  = 
Operating system running at database server= AIX 64BIT 
Location of the database                   = Local 
First database connect timestamp           = 02/05/2012 ... 
Last reset timestamp                       = 02/05/2012 ... 
Last backup timestamp                      = 02/03/2012 ... 
Snapshot timestamp                         = 02/05/2012 ... 
 
Number of automatic storage paths          = 1 
Automatic storage path                     = /home/db2inst1 
      File system ID                       = 92233722172434... 
      Storage path free space (bytes)      = 3074293760 
      File system used space (bytes)       = 79822848 
      File system total space (bytes)      = 3221225472 
 
High water mark for connections            = 5 
Application connects                       = 4294967295 <<---- 
Secondary connects total                   = 4 
Applications connected currently           = 0 
Appls. executing in db manager currently   = 0 
Agents associated with applications        = 4 
Maximum agents associated with applications= 5 
Maximum coordinating agents                = 5 
---------------------------------- 
 
- This problem exists on any DB2 version, v9.1, v9.5 and v9.7. 
- The incorrect value reported in snapshot is due to an error in 
'reset monitor' internal processing. 
- The fix of APAR will modify the reset monitor behavior so that 
subsequent snapshots report Application connects value 
correctly. 
- There is no side effect by this APAR. 
- There is no work around but if users execute it again later, 
  it may report correct value since the problem is a timing 
  issue. | |
