On a W2K server with UDB8 fixpack0, there are several db2fmp.exe processes that are standing idle from a long time (about 17 days!).

I would like to know if someone have any previous experience of manage the killing of the processes - the applications running on the db server are core for the company - and if eventually upgrading the level of the fixpack it may resolve the problem.

Thanks in advance.

You may want to read this:

"Fenced processes to run user code on the server outside the firewall for both stored procedures and user defined functions.

The db2fmp is always a separate process, but may be multithreaded depending on the types of routines it executes.

Note: This process replaces both the db2udf and db2dari processes that were used in previous versions of DB2."

Thank you for the info, even if I have already read the document html.
