• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6PM734 - DBCFG - LOCKLIST: value is lower than the recommended lower limit &1 ?

  The SAP error message DB6PM734 indicates that the lock list configuration for your database is set to a value that is lower than the recommended minimum limit. This can lead to performance issues, as the database may not be able to handle the required number of concurrent locks, which can result in deadlocks or other locking issues.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by the following:
  
  The lock list size is configured too low in the database settings.
  The application is trying to acquire more locks than the current configuration allows.
  The database workload has increased, leading to a higher demand for locks.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to increase the lock list size in your database configuration. Here are the general steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the Database: Determine which database you are using (e.g., DB2, Oracle, etc.) as the steps may vary slightly depending on the database system.
  
  
  Check Current Configuration: Use the appropriate database command or tool to check the current lock list size. For example, in DB2, you can use:
  GET DATABASE CONFIGURATION
  
  
  Increase Lock List Size:
  
  For DB2, you can increase the lock list size using the following command:
  UPDATE DATABASE CONFIGURATION USING LOCKLIST <new_value>
  Replace <new_value> with a value that meets or exceeds the recommended lower limit indicated in the error message.
  
  
  
  
  Restart the Database: After making changes to the configuration, you may need to restart the database for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  Monitor Performance: After increasing the lock list size, monitor the database performance to ensure that the issue is resolved and that there are no further locking issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the official documentation for your specific database system for detailed instructions on configuring the lock list.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to your specific database and version for any additional recommendations or known issues.
  Performance Tuning: Consider reviewing overall database performance tuning, as increasing the lock list size may be a part of a broader strategy to optimize database performance.
  
  If the problem persists after making these changes, you may need to analyze the application workload or consult with a database administrator for further investigation.
