Identifier:db2.dbms_agents_waiting
Database Object Monitored:Database Manager Instance
Category:Agents
Description:The number of agents waiting for a token so they can execute a transaction in the database manager measured at the end of the monitoring interval.
Equation:dbms.agents_waiting_on_token
Usage Notes: Each application has a dedicated agent to process database requests within the database manager. Each agent has to get a token before it can execute a transaction. The maximum number of agents that can execute database manager transactions is limited by the configuration parameter maxcagents. If you notice that there are always several applications waiting for a token, consider increasing maxcagents.
