Hi All
Is it required that the Db2 DAS [db2dasstm.exe ] should be up & running
in the production DB2 instances?
In our production server, this procesess occupies more cpu resource. So
thought of shutting down this process.
Can I know what will be the impact, if I shutdown this DB2 DAS process?
Pl advice
The DAS does a couple things. First, it is what allows the DB2 Control
Center to communicate with the box. Especially if you're running the DB2
Control Center from another box. e.g., db2cc on your Windows or Linux box,
trying to administer an AIX box.
Second, it also runs the scheduler. If you have tasks scheduled via DB2,
the DAS is what kicks those off.
Third - maybe other stuff as well.
But, if you've got very basic usage of DB2, then it's probably safe to shut
down.
Besides - if you think the DAS is taking up too much CPU time, perhaps you
should ask IBM what it's doing. That may tell you that it's doing
something useful for you. Or they may say it's a bug ;-)
