DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

Our documentation says, that DB2_HADR_BUF_SIZE upper limit is 4 
GB. In reality, it can be set to much higher values, up to 64GB. 
 
When DB2_HADR_BUF_SIZE is set to such a high value, standby may 
fail to connect to primary within HADR_TIMEOUT time, as the 
allocation/reallocation of that big buffer can take a long time 
to complete. 
 
Primary reports the following message in the db2diag.log file:

This APAR will make sure, that the receive buffer is only 
allocated/reallocted, when really needed, to avoid unnecessary 
long allocation times.
