Use:  The MAXTRDR parameter specifies the number of active 
tape-reader subtasks which are to be created in the DB2 
Manager control region.   
 
Notes:  This parameter indirectly controls the maximum number of 
tape drives which may be concurrently allocated by the control 
region.    
 
  If TAPEWAIT=0 is specified, requests which cause this 
maximum to be exceeded will receive a “resource busy” 
condition from DB2 Manager - an SQL error code of –652 will 
be returned to the calling application and field SQLERRD(6) in 
the SQLCA will contain the hexadecimal value x’0A’. 
 
 
  Non-zero values of TAPEWAIT will cause requests which 
encounter this condition to be held internally for processing 
until a tape drive becomes available, or until the time limit 
specified in the TAPEWAIT parameter is exceeded, at which 
point a “resource busy” condition will be returned to the calling 
application, as above. 
 
This setting may be varied during DB2 Manager operation via 
the 'SET MAXTRDR’ operator command. 
 
  If this parameter is omitted, a default value of MAXTRDR=4 
will be used. 
TAPECNTL: MAXDRDR 
 
MAXDRDR = nnn 
 
Requirement: Optional 
 Default: 
  Validation:  nnn = 1-3 digit numeric value in range 1 - 255 
 
Use:  The MAXDRDR parameter specifies the number of active disk-
reader subtasks which are to be created in the DB2 Manager 
control region.  This is set during control region initialization, 
and may be varied thereafter using the ‘SET MAXDRDR’ 
operator command.   
 
Notes:  This parameter indirectly controls the maximum number of 
Archive Manager ‘K’ copy files which are to be simultaneously 
allocated by the DB2 Manager control region for retrieval of 
disk-resident objects from Archive Manager.  
    
 
Requests for retrieval of an object from an Archive Manager 
‘K’ copy file are added to the disk-reader subtask with the 
shortest queue length.   Increasing the number of disk-reader 
subtasks will reduce the average queue length per subtask,
