Utility concurrency and compatibility
Some online utilities allow other utilities and SQL statements to run concurrently on the same target object.
To determine whether utilities can be run concurrently, see the
compatibility and concurrency information in the following table.
Most of these concurrency and compatibility topics include the following
information:
- For each target object, the claim classes that the utility must claim or drain and any restrictive state that the utility sets on the target object.
- For other online utilities, the compatibility of the utility with the same target object. If two actions are compatible on a target object, they can run simultaneously on that object in separate applications. If compatibility depends on particular options of a utility, that dependency is noted.
If the utility supports parallelism, it can use additional threads to support the parallel subtasking. Consider increasing the values of subsystem parameters that control threads, such as MAX BATCH CONNECT and MAX USERS.
