    If Db2 boosts a thread, it should have preference over other boost activities (like zIIP boost)

    We had the situation that some threads (DDF threads) hold a latch and this latch is required also for Db2 system tasks. The Db2 boost does not help in this situation because we use zIIP boost during IPL. So from a WLM perspective higher prioritize...
