DB2 UDB Connection Overhead

[LarryR]

We are running DB2 UDB for AIX V7.1. The tables in our Operational Data Store are updated with IBM's DpropR. We have about 30 subscriptions that process every 5 minutes. I've noticed that the monitor output shows about 150,000 connects per week. I'm assuming most of the connects are from DpropR. We do ACTIVATE the data base to reduce connection time.

I'm assuming that there is some overhead associated with each connection. Does anyone have a method of determining the costs of all these connects?

Thanks in advance.
