If you run a database backup, does the log go down?

If it does not, you probably have a long transaction in the database.  A
certain client is "pinning" the log.

        Are you using "roll forward recovery"?  From what you are saying it
        appears so.  I would recommend turning it off and using a
logmode=normal
        which will commit recovery log transactions to the DB as they
complete
        instead of every time the DB fills up.

        The maximum size of the recovery log is 5.5GB, my recovery log is
4.5 GB
        now and I have just recently increased it 1GB from 3.5GB.  It filled
up
        again  last night. My database is 59.5 GB. Could I have a problem
that
        is
        causing my recovery log to fill up or is this normal for this size
of
        database?
        I am running TSM 3.7.4 on OS390 R 2.10.
        I have been testing TSM 4.1.4 and am planning to go to the new
release
        in
        the next few weeks, could  this help the situation?

        Below shows the past three days monitoring.
