agents -recommendation

[hikums]

On a AIX 5.2, DB2 UDB V8.2, the dbm snapshot is as below.
There are around 50 applications at any point of time, intra-parallel
turned on, oltp and reporting queries are run on the server. 8 Gigs of
RAM, what parameters are recommended for
maxagents,max_c oordagents,maxc agents,maxconne ctions?

If you require other information, I'd be glad to post.

Thanks for the help.

I don't have an answer to your question, but you might be better off if you
could put your OLTP and reporting database in separate instances.

Intra-parallel is not good for OLTP.
