-START RLIMIT (DB2)

The DB2® command START RLIMIT starts the resource limit facility (governor) and specifies a resource limit specification table for the facility to use.

You can issue START RLIMIT even if the resource limit facility is already active. However, you must specify a resource limit table that is not already active. Only the resource limit table that you identify in the command applies for new threads. Existing threads continue to be subject to the limits in the table that was active at the time they were created.

Abbreviation: -STA RLIM
