DB2syscs.exe problems

[kovacsa]

Hello ... recently we've been having a problem with our DB2 sever. We have a DB2 databse running on an Intel/Windows 2000 machine.

About every 5 minutes, the process, "db2syscs.exe" will consume all of the CPU time (100%) and stall the rest of the system. It will eventually resume normal operation but consistently come back.

Any suggestions as to what might be happening?

Thanks in advance,

kovacsa

Kovacsa,

db2syscs is the DB2 "server" process for a given DB2 Instance. Whenever you do a "db2start" command, one of these processes will be started. You will see a
separate "db2syscs.exe" for each DB2 Instance started on your system.

Has any tuning been done on the database(s) as regards buffer pools etc?
