A system administrator decides to use the advice from the Performance and Diagnostic Advisor to
identify the optimum connection pool settings for data sources. In a cell, the data source
db2datasource is defined under node scope and used by two servers from that node. The
administrator receives two different sets of advice for db2datasource.
. One set of advice suggests to increase the maximum connection pool size for
db2datasource.
. The other suggests reducing the maximum connection pool size for db2datasource.
How should the administrator configure the data sources before reusing the Performance and

A performance test team was testing the capacity of concurrent users of a web application
deployed on a multi-processor server. While testing 250 concurrent users, the administrator
discovers connections to the database are failing.
In response, a system administrator increased the connection pool to the maximum limit which the
database allows and increased the prepared statement cache size. The test passed, but the
application response time was slower.
How should the system administrator tune the data source properties to improve the application
response time?
