Hello all

Running a pair of TSM 7.1.3 servers here, and use Nagios to monitor our
environment.

One of the service checks I run watches the number of DB2 users on the TSM
database.  We see an rise and fall of user connections, and they are all
consistently from one user...

"dsmserv"

Does anyone know if there is a reason for what all these processes are
for?  I generally see between 50-150 connections depending on what TSM is
doing, and I'm trying to understand what the thresholds should be so I can
configure the service checks with meaningful values.

Yes, I could easily just look at my existing trends and derive them, but I
was hoping to gain insight into what is actually going on that so many
connections are necessary.

Thanks for your time
