Setting installation options for wait times

These options determine how long it takes DB2® to identify that a process must be timed out or is deadlocked. They affect locking in your entire DB2 subsystem.

Specifying the interval for detecting deadlocks
You can specify the interval at which DB2 scans for deadlocked processes at regular intervals.
Specifying the amount of inactive time before a timeout
You can specify how long your system waits for suspended processes.
How DB2 calculates the wait time for timeouts
When a process requests a transaction lock that is unavailable, it waits for some period of time. DB2 determines the appropriate wait time by multiplying a timeout period by a multiplier based on the type of process.
Specifying how long an idle thread can use resources
You can specify a limit for the amount of time that active distributed threads can use resources without doing any processing.
Specifying how long utilities wait for resources
You can specify how long DB2 waits before timing out utilities that wait for locks.
Calculating wait times for drains
You can calculate how long DB2 waits for drains.
