For the past several days, I have been getting ANR2997W messages starting
with
"ANR2997W The server log is 80 percent full. The server will delay
transactions by 3 milliseconds."
The messages appear 4 times per SECOND, and the percent goes up (it hit 87
yesterday). Then a db backup completes, and I get ANR2996I saying that the
server log is 0 percent full.

I have 2 questions:
1) Is the "server log" in ANR2997W the recovery log? Until I did some
digging to ask this question, I thought it might have meant the activity
log.
2) Why am I getting these messages? I can't find any setting that says 80
is a magic number that makes sense for this message.

DB is 79.3 Pct Util (that's the Max  Pct Util, too)
DB Backup Trigger has Log Full Percentage = 85
DB Space Trigger has DB Full Percentage = 80

Recovery Log is currently 79 Pct Util (Max is 91.2)
Recovery Log Space Trigger has LOG Full Percentage = 90.

Server Options has LogWarnFullPercent = 90
Logmode is RollForward.
Neither the DB nor Recovery Log have taken any expansion volumes.
TSM 5.2.2.0 on AIX.
