MON_GET_CONNECTION missing the application idle time

MON_GET_CONNECTION table function is documented to be the replacement of deprecated snapshot function SNAPAPPL, but it misses a key value, which is supplied by the old (deprecated) function. SNAPAPPL delivers the application idle time (APPL_IDLE_T...

Application status change time is not available in any mon_get_* table functions

Provide better hang information

In the case of a hang, we only have the material for root-cause analysis if we were able to collect db2fodc information before the system became fully unusable. A small moving window of such information written out to disk on a regular basis would...
