Hi,

Code:

I do not know db2 that well, but you appear to have excessive lock contention.
This means a lot of processes are trying to select/insert/execute (pick one) a single database object. It probably means one process is sitting inactive on the object for a long time.

Users who login, then start DB work, but take a break can cause this. Their process can have a lock which does not get released until they complete the transaction they started. We have users who do not log off overnight and leave screens open. We kill off processes like that to prevent lock contention.
