Database transfer: Enable the DB2 pureScale load balancing feature

Note that manual steps can be found in the IBM Knowledge Center.

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.

1. Access the WAS console. Go to http://host:your_server_admin_port/ibm/console/. For example, go to http://host:10038/ibm/console/.
