Maximum Agents Waiting - Database Manager Instance

Identifier:db2.dbms_hwm_agents_waiting

Database Object Monitored:Database Manager Instance

Category:Agents

Description:The highest number of agents waiting for a token since the last counter reset.

Equation:dbms.agents_waiting_top

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 maxagents.

Compare this value to the end-of-interval value db2.dbms_agents_waiting.
