DSNL077I NUMBER OF IN USE DBATS HAS EXCEEDED 85% OF THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED

Explanation
The number of DBATs that are currently in use and processing client requests has exceeded 85% relative of the value of the MAXDBAT subsystem parameter. Other DBATs may exist but are pooled and currently disconnected from any client connections.

This message is displayed only one time until message DSNL078I is displayed to indicate that the number of in use DBATs no longer exceeds 75% relative of the value of the MAXDBAT subsystem parameter.

System action
Processing continues.

System programmer response
If a subsequent DSNL078I is displayed, no action is required. Otherwise, investigate why the number of active, in use, DBATs has exceeded 85% of value set by the MAXDBAT subsystem parameter.

Otherwise, investigate why the number of active, in use, DBATs has exceeded 85% of value set by the MAXDBAT subsystem parameter. If the cause of the increasing numbers of in use DBATs is an increase in concurrent workload growth, consider increasing the value of the MAXDBAT subsystem parameter.

If the increasing number of in use DBATs are the result of an exception condition, such as a new application being brought online, additional investigation might be required to resolve the problem. Db2 location statistics (IFCID 0365) might identify the client locations that are the source of the increased demand for DBATs.
