Managing distributed database access threads (DBATs)

Db2 uses distributed database access threads (DBATs) to process requests through a network for distributed clients that access data in a Db2 for z/OS® server.

When Db2 creates DBATs

Db2 creates a DBAT in the following situations:

  • Db2 accepts new connections from remote clients.
  • Db2 is configured in INACTIVE mode, and a new request is received from a remote requester and no pooled DBAT is available to service the new request.
Tip: You can also monitor and control threads for specific remote applications by using profile tables. For more information, see the following topics:
