SYSLIMTBL table
The SYSLIMTBL table contains information about limits that are being approached. It is maintained by DB2 for i.
This table is not authorized or managed like a typical DB2 for i catalog. By default, all users have authority to view and change the data within this table. If this table is removed or incompatibly altered, the IBM i operating system will automatically recreate it. The SYSLIMTBL table was designed to have as small a footprint as possible.
You can add AFTER INSERT or AFTER DELETE triggers to this table. This allows you to perform an action such as sending a notification when a limit is being logged to the table.
