I am running DB2 8.2 on AIX 5L v5.2. This database is for Peoplesoft CRM. However we have an outside Java application connecting in. It is using the JDBC driver bundled with the DB2 client. My configuation is :

Instance:
Priority of agents (AGENTPRI) = SYSTEM
Max number of existing agents (MAXAGENTS) = 400
Agent pool size (NUM_POOLAGENTS) = 200(calculated)
Initial number of agents in pool (NUM_INITAGENTS) = 0
Max number of coordinating agents (MAX_COORDAGENTS) = (MAXAGENTS - NUM_INI)
Max no. of concurrent coordinating agents (MAXCAGENTS) = MAX_COORDAGENTS
Max number of client connections (MAX_CONNECTIONS) = MAX_COORDAGENTS

DB:
Max number of active applications (MAXAPPLS) = 150
Average number of active applications (AVG_APPLS) = 1
Max DB files open per application (MAXFILOP) = 256
Max size of appl. group mem set (4KB) (APPGROUP_MEM_SZ) = 30000
Percent of mem for appl. group heap (GROUPHEAP_RATIO) = 70
Max appl. control heap size (4KB) (APP_CTL_HEAP_SZ) = 512

When I get the SQL1040N error, I can no longer force applications on the database. It seems to just hang. Also when I do a db2 list applications it is only about 50 connections. Am I missing a parameter that is limiting the number of connections?

My doubt is, if it is EEE environment, u have to get the list applications globally by using "db2 list applications global" and check the number of connections.

I'm assuming u r using EEE environment.

I do not have EEE, I have a single instance on a single machine.

Check intra_parallel instance parameter, if intra_parallel is enabled , db2 invokes multiple agenets to process request.

The list applications show detail will give you the no of agents handling each request.

Check your db2diag.log file.

use db2 get snapshot for dbm|grep 'Agents'

check the corodinating agents and agent registered.
Also check the agents created from empty pool.
check your connection concentration MAX_CONNECTIONS > MAX_COORDAGENTS

if you have less than 200 connections, don't turn that on.

intra_parallel is set to no at the instance level.

here is what I got from "db2 get snapshot for dbm|grep 'Agents'"

Agents assigned from pool = 3447
Agents created from empty pool = 92
Agents stolen from another application = 0

High water mark for coordinating agents = 57
Remote connections to db manager = 32
Remote connections executing in db manager = 0
Local connections = 15
Local connections executing in db manager = 0
Active local databases = 1

High water mark for agents registered = 57
High water mark for agents waiting for a token = 0
Agents registered = 57
Agents waiting for a token = 0
Idle agents = 6

I don't believe this is anything unusual.

Only thing that I check is

Agents created from empty pool = 92.

Agents assigned from pool = 3447

means 33% of the time , you need to create agent..

sometimes agents do have creation problem , because of the OS constraint
and some other reason.

I will look into the aix limits like maxproc etc.
and the no of processes runing at the OS level.
