No exceptions are logged if fewer than 40 application servers start, or if the application servers are started manually.
Cause
Insufficient APP_CTL_HEAP_SZ size.
Solution
Increase the DB2® parameter for the administrative repository database from 128 to 512.

To do this, issue the following command from a DB2 prompt:

db2 update db cfg for databasename using APP_CTL_HEAP_SZ 512
