Description:  The number of agents waiting for a token so they can execute a transaction in the database manager.

Usage:  This element may be used in conjunction with "Agents Registered" to determine the percentage of "sleeping" agents. If the percentage is high, concurrency in the database manager may be improved by increasing the maxcagents configuration parameter.

Each application has a dedicated agent to process database requests within the database manager. Each agent has to get a token before it can execute a transaction. The maximum number of agents that can execute database manager transactions is limited by the configuration parameter maxcagents. For more information about this parameter, see the Administration Guide.
