  Whenever a Db2 accounting trace record is produced for work

  accounting trace record whether or not the client inbound
  connection or an outbound connection to a remote location
  is allocated as a TCP/IP SSL based secure connection.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• Db2 has been changed to indicate in the one or many QLACs
  (accounting location statistics) produced for an accounting
  trace instance whether or not a distributed inbound or
  outbound TCP/IP connection was a TCP/IP secure connection.
  In particular, the new field of the QLAC, QLAC_SECURE_CONN,
  will be set to a 'Y' if the connection was a secure TCP/IP
  connection. If the inbound or outbound connection is not
  secure, then the field will be null. The QLAC_SECURE_CONN
  field will not be maintained in an accounting rollup record.
