Setting the MAXAGENTS Parameter Value

If you do not want to enable connection concentration, and if you have not made any adjustments to the connection concentration parameters, then the only configuration to do is to set the number of MAXAGENTS to the number of concurrent connections to DB2 that you expect will be required. To set this number, issue an update dbm cfg using statement. For more information on updating the database manager configuration, see the vendor documentation on the IBM Web site.

If you are using Siebel connection pooling (and it is recommended that you do), the value you choose for MAXAGENTS determines the value you specify for the MaxSharedDbConns parameter value. Further, it determines the value you specify for the MAXDBATS parameter on the z/OS host. For more information about this feature, see Database Connection Pooling.
