Hi

I am attempting to set up a DB2 connection in CICS. I have only coded:
DB2CONN=YES
in the SYSIN of my started task. When I start CICS, I am getting:
Code:
N 4020000 S0W1     19037 12:23:36.66 STC02608 00000090  +DFHDB2110I 02/06/2019 12:23:36 CS54GENA The total number of threads
S                                                       exceeds TCBLIMIT.


It looks from this book:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGMCP_5.3.0/com.ibm.cics.ts.resourcedefinition.doc/resources/db2conn/dfha4_connattr.html

that I should specify a larger TCBLIMIT than the default of 12, but I can't figure out how to change the syntax from:
DB2CONN=YES
to specify the TCBLIMIT increase as well... Perhaps that isn't even where I put it but I haven't been able to figure this out from my scanning of the books.

Try using CEDA DEF DB2CONN for online resource definition of DB2CONN.

Hi

Thanks Robert. I did that and then shut down CICS and started it up again and I am still getting the same message - so I'm not sure if:
a) the setting is 'lost' on a restart of the region
b) it just isn't high enough yet (I set it to 100 - surely that should be enough?)
c) I am inadvertently overwriting the TCBLIMIT unknowingly on restart.

Alternately, is there a way to start Db2 from inside CICS after the fact? Db2 is failing to start (and I'm hoping it's because of this error - since I have no other errors I can see in my CICS startup)

thanks, mike

Use CEDA/CEDB/CEDC to check the DB2CONN THREADLIMIT and the DB2ENTRY THREADLIMIT (for each DB2ENTRY) and add up the values. Set the TCBLIMIT to more than that value. I can easily see needing more than 100 for TCBLIMIT.
