What is the recommended LOCKTIMEOUT for CCM on DB2 9.7?
One answer
Scott,
I will answer from general DB2 experience. Increasing the locktimeout will introduce trade-offs in that longer timeout will increase the likelyhood that more 'applications' will get into lock-wait state. The more things in lock-wait the less work that gets done and could lead to deadlocks. The lock timeout only affects those applications that are held in lock-wait status (they are terminated by DB2), not the application holding the lock.
The DB2 Performance rates lock a "medium" in terms of performance impact.
