About this task

Attention: All steps for all database environments are included without consideration for your environment. Use the Configuration Wizard to generate custom instructions for your environment.
This step applies only to DB2® pureScale.

For multithreaded Java applications, set enableSysplexWLB to true in the connection string to use the transaction level workload balancing feature for DB2® pureScale. As more members are started, clients automatically route to the new member without any interruption of service. Members can be stopped without the application knowing.
