If you encounter SQLCODE -444 error messages when starting any of the WebSphere Partner Gateway components (bcgconsole, bcgreceiver, bcgdocmgr), you should increase the value of the DB2 Database Manager SHEAPTHRES parameter. This parameter should be at least two times larger than the highest sortheap value defined for any database within the DB2 instance. Please consult your database administrator or refer to your DB2 administrator's guide before changing this setting. A sample command is given below:
db2 UPDATE DBM CFG USING SHEAPTHRES xxxxx IMMEDIATE
If the SQLCODE -444 persists after changing the value of SHEAPTHRES, you may also need to decrease the values of STMTHEAP and APPLHEAPSZ for your WPG database. A sample command is given below:
db2 UPDATE DB CFG FOR <dbname> USING STMTHEAP xxxxx
db2 UPDATE DB CFG FOR <dbname> USING APPLHEAPSZ xxxxx
Please consult your DBA or refer to your DB2 Administrator's Guide before changing any settings.
The error messages are located in one the following log files, depending on the component:
{INSTALL DIR}\was\profiles\bcgconsole\logs\bcgconsole\bcg_console.log
{INSTALL DIR}\was\profiles\bcgreceiver\logs\bcgreceiver\bcg_receiver.log
{INSTALL DIR}\was\profiles\bcgdocmgr\logs\bcgdocmgr\bcg_docmgr.log
It can also be found in the <DB2Home>\SQLLIB\bin\db2diag.log file.
