You may have need more database pages. To check, issue the ADSM server
command "query db format=detail" and view the Cache Hit Pct.  Ideally, it
should be greater than 98%.  If its to low, you will need to increase
BUFPoolsize in the dsmserv.opt file.  You will need to shutdown and restart
the server for the change to take effect.
