DB2CFIMP <FILENAME> UPDATES DBM CFG PARAMETERS INCORRECTLY WHEN
VALUES SET TO AUTOMATIC; CLIENT CONNECTIONS WILL HANG

product:
DB2 CONNECT / DB2CONNCT / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
If original db2 get dbm cfg shows 
 
MAX_CONNECTIONS = 100 AUTOMATIC 
MAX_COORDAGENTS = 200 AUTOMATIC 
NUM_POOLAGENTS = 200 AUTOMATIC 
 
when you export the configuration using 
 
db2cfexp filename backup 
the filename will contain: 
 
MAX_CONNECTIONS=AUTOMATIC 
MAX_COORDAGENTS=AUTOMATIC 
NUM_POOLAGENTS=AUTOMATIC 
 
When this file is then used with 
db2cfimp filename 
 
The result in the dbm cfg shows: 
MAX_CONNECTIONS = 0 AUTOMATIC 
MAX_COORDAGENTS = 0 AUTOMATIC 
NUM_POOLAGENTS = 1 AUTOMATIC 
 
Any connections to the database will hang waiting for an agent.
